[OASIS Issue Tracker] (ODATA-662) Allow usage of $apply as "Expand Option" in $expand

[OASIS Issues Tracker <workgroup_mailer@lists.oasis-open.org>]

     [ https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/ODATA-662?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Ralf Handl updated ODATA-662:
-----------------------------

    Description: 
We haven't specified the usage of $apply as "Expand Option" in $expand. 
There are good use cases for $apply as an option of $expand (and it combines very well):

    GET Products?$expand=Sales($apply=aggregate(Amount with sum as Total))

Returns all products, and the Sales navigation property value is a one-element array with the Total
Means: per Product in top-level result inline result of 

    GET Product(<key>)/Sales?$apply=aggregate(Amount with sum as Total)

This is equivalent to the clumsier

    GET Products?$apply=groupby((<key properties of Product>,<all non-key structural properties of Product>),aggregate(Sales/(Amount with sum as Total))
