@zehome what do you think?
Seams good for me. Users are confused with avg over :)
another reason is that the 'by' in group by
means "make a group for each single value of the tag", as opposed to the "by" in avg|sum by
which means not "make a sum|avg for each single value" but rather "for all different values", although it could be argued that's inherent to the word group (means singeling out) vs avg|sum which aggregate multiple values.
"avg over" and "avg across" might also be confusing.
and "across" is a bit long to type, compared to "by".
i feel like this solution wouldn't be ideal either.
gonna leave it like it is for now..
since we aggregate across different values of a given tag, the terminology should IMHO be
avg/sum across <tag>
notavg/sum by <tag>
.thoughts?
