What changes were proposed in this pull request?
This PR removes the self type parameter from Dataset. This turned out to be a bit noisy. The self type is replaced by a combination of covariant return types and abstract types. Abstract types are used when a method takes a Dataset (or a KeyValueGroupedDataset) as an argument.
Why are the changes needed?
The self type made using the classes in sql/api a bit noisy.
Does this PR introduce any user-facing change?
No.
How was this patch tested?
Existing tests.
