Re: Question on streaming and grouping with nested key

I'm sure someone with more savvy can tell you how to do this with
accumulators, but it seems that there is a straightforward way to do this
with streaming iterate.

Use burst-mode streaming to iterate through each <TRANSACTION> element.

This <xsl:iterate> instruction should have two parameters, each one a map:

<xsl:param name="item_count_map" select="map:new()"/>
<xsl:param name="sum_map" select="map:new()"/>

The first one will keep track of the number of <ITEM1> elements with a
given grouping key. The second map will sum up the values in the
<SUBITEM2.1> elements.

Each round of the iteration, you will make new maps by updating the current
map.

For each transaction, check whether the grouping key is a key of the map.
If so, the new maps (the one for the next iteration of the <xsl:iterate>
instruciton) will have that key updated. If the grouping-key is not a key
of the map, add it to each map.
