Matthew Hayes commented on DATAFU-117: -------------------------------------- I filed https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DATAFU-118 for automatically running the rat task. > New UDF - CountDistinctUpTo > --------------------------- > > Key: DATAFU-117 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DATAFU-117 > Project: DataFu > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Eyal Allweil > Attachments: DATAFU-117.patch > > > A UDF that counts distinct tuples within a bag, but only up to a preset > limit. If the bag contains more distinct tuples than the limit, the UDF > returns the limit. > This UDF can run reasonably well even on large bags if the limit chosen is > small enough though the count is done in memory. > We use this UDF in PayPal for filtering, when we don't need to use the actual > tuples afterward. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
