A possible way is to wrap the AffineWarper by a custom transformer and publish the "Parallel Process By" parameter as a transformer parameter. It's not exactly equal to the regular "Group By", but it works like that. Try the steps illustrated in this image.

After banging my head trying to figure out why this wasn't working, and using feature caching to do my debugging... I saw this handy post, https://knowledge.safe.com/questions/78585/how-to-add-group-by-to-any-transformer.html
With this IMPORTANT note:
One caveat I’ve noticed about this hack:- Make sure to turn off Feature Caching, otherwise the Group by won’t have any effect.

Good old wrap it in a custom transformer en voila! group by is possible!
