Tycho Lamerigts commented on CRUNCH-503:
----------------------------------------

I think a case can be made for both answers. If only because my current use 
case requires \{3, 2, 1\}. :-) So an option to choose duplication behaviour 
would be ideal for me.

I currently de-duplicate by wrapping the MAX_N Aggregator in a delegating 
aggregator that does something like this

{code}
if (!Iterables.contains(this.delegate.result(), value) {
   this.delegate.update(value)
}
{code} 

Not pretty, but it does avoid another MR step.

> Behavior of MAX_N Aggregator for duplicate values is counter-intuitive
