Another example:
julia> combine(groupby(a, :k), :t=>stack)
4×2 DataFrame
Row │ k t_stack
│ Int64 Int64
─────┼────────────────
1 │ 1 1
2 │ 1 2
3 │ 2 3
4 │ 2 4
Expected behavior:
julia> combine(groupby(a, :k), :t=>stack)
4×2 DataFrame
Row │ k t_stack
│ Int64 Array…
─────┼────────────────
1 │ 1 [1, 2]
2 │ 2 [3, 4]
I'm uncertain about the internal mechanism, but it appears that the DataFrame might undergo flatten
ing after the combination of grouped DataFrames.

Alternative using Base.vect
and Ref
.

This is a design feature. The rule is that if function returns a vector it gets expanded. The reason is that in a vast majority of cases this is what users expect, and requiring them to flatten
the result every time in this case would be inconvenient.
Note that even the simplest :a => identity
requires flattening to produce a correct result.
It is important to understand that aggregation functions decide about how to handle the results on transformations based on the VALUE returned, not based on a function called. Relying on a function called would produce many special cases that would be even harder to learn.
Your case is rare (applying sum
over vector of vectors) therefore the decision was that it should be handled by a special rule. As you have found, and as is written in the docstring:
In all of these cases, function can return either a single row or multiple rows. As a particular rule, values wrapped in a
Ref
or a 0-dimensionalAbstractArray
are unwrapped and then treated as a single row.
So you can write e.g. one of these (whichever is easier to remember for you):
julia> combine(groupby(a, :k), :v=>Ref∘sum)
2×2 DataFrame
Row │ k v_Ref_sum
│ Int64 Array…
─────┼──────────────────
1 │ 1 [4, 6]
2 │ 2 [12, 14]
julia> combine(groupby(a, :k), :v=>fill∘sum)
2×2 DataFrame
Row │ k v_fill_sum
│ Int64 Array…
─────┼───────────────────
1 │ 1 [4, 6]
2 │ 2 [12, 14]
To get what you want.

Thank you for your response. I have updated the document to ensure proper dissemination.
