I more strongly think that apply is a confusing and non-standard term for "run this function on each item in this container", even if it's pandas' name.

This is a fair point. map is definitely the standard name in the context of "map reduce" type operations.

What are your thoughts re:

  • Adding map as the documented approach for run-on-each on Dataset & GroupBy
  • Adding apply_raw (or similar) as a new function that runs functions on the 'raw' arrays
  • Keeping apply around for backward-compat, similar to the drop case

I would support this.
