     Window function: returns the rank of rows within a window partition, without any gaps.

     The difference between rank and dense_rank is that denseRank leaves no gaps in ranking sequence when there are ties. That is, if you were ranking a competition using dense_rank and had three people tie for second place, you would say that all three were in second place and that the next person came in third. Rank would give me sequential numbers, making the person that came in third place (after the ties) would register as coming in fifth.

Note that the duration is a fixed length of time, and does not vary over time according to a calendar. For example, 1 day always means 86,400,000 milliseconds, not a calendar day.

     slideDuration

     A string specifying the sliding interval of the window, e.g. 1 minute. A new window will be generated every slideDuration. Must be less than or equal to the windowDuration. Check org.apache.spark.unsafe.types.CalendarInterval for valid duration identifiers. This duration is likewise absolute, and does not vary according to a calendar.

     startTime

     The offset with respect to 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC with which to start window intervals. For example, in order to have hourly tumbling windows that start 15 minutes past the hour, e.g. 12:15-13:15, 13:15-14:15... provide startTime as 15 minutes.
