/**
 * The GroupBy pipe groups the {@link Tuple} stream by the given groupFields.
 * </p>
 * If more than one {@link Pipe} instance is provided on the constructor, all branches will be merged. It is required
 * that all Pipe instances output the same field names, otherwise the {@link cascading.flow.FlowConnector} will fail to create a
 * {@link cascading.flow.Flow} instance. Again, the Pipe instances are merged together as if one Tuple stream and not joined.
 * See {@link CoGroup} for joining by common fields.
 * </p>
 * Typically an {@link Every} follows GroupBy to apply an {@link Aggregator} function to every grouping. The
 * {@link Each} operator may also follow GroupBy to apply a {@link Function} or {@link Filter} to the resulting
 * stream. But an Each cannot come immediately before an Every.
 * <p/>
 * Optionally a stream can be further sorted by providing sortFields. This allows an Aggregator to receive
 * values in the order of the sortedFields.
 * <p/>
 * Note that local sorting always happens on the groupFields, sortFields are a secondary sorting on the grouped values within the
 * current grouping. sortFields is particularly useful if the Aggregators following the GroupBy would like to see their arguments
 * in order.
 * <p/>
 * For more control over sorting at the group or secondary sort level, use {@link cascading.tuple.Fields}
 * containing {@link java.util.Comparator} instances for the appropriate fields when setting the groupFields or
 * sortFields values. Fields allows you to set a custom {@link java.util.Comparator} instance for each field name or
 * position. It is required that each Comparator class also be {@link java.io.Serializable}.
 * <p/>
 * It should be noted for MapReduce systems, distributed group sorting is not 'total'. That is groups are sorted
 * as seen by each Reducer, but they are not sorted across Reducers. See the MapReduce algorithm for details.
 * <p/>
 * See the {@link cascading.tuple.Hasher} interface when a custom {@link java.util.Comparator} on the grouping keys is
 * being provided that makes two values with differing hashCode values equal. For example,
 * {@code new BigDecimal( 100.0D )} and {@code new Double 100.0D )} are equal using a custom Comparator, but
 * {@link Object#hashCode()} will be different, thus forcing each value into differing partitions.
 * <p/>
 * Note that grouping one String key with a lowercase value with another String key with an uppercase value using a
 * "case insensitive" Comparator will not have consistent results. The grouping will execute and be correct,
 * but the actual values in the key columns may be replaced with "equivalent" values from other streams.
 * <p/>
 * That is, if two streams are merged and then grouped on a key, where one stream the key values are uppercase and the
 * other stream values are lowercase, the resulting key value for the grouping may arbitrarily be either upper or
 * lower case.
 * <p/>
 * If the original key values must be retained, consider normalizing the keys with a Function and then grouping on the
 * resulting field.
