    I think this will be a nice addition to the API.
   
    Would it make sense to rename the operator to flatMapPartition? It might be confusing in relation to the existing map and flatMap functions. Map is a 1:1 mapping wheras a flatMap is the 1:n mapping. The new operator is called `mapParititons`, but is able to collect multiple elements.
