 I have a table virtualmachineresources, which has 100k+ rows, it has
 columns 'machine` and `cluster`, some rows the cluster field is empty. it
 has repeating rows of machine + with/without cluster, hence I want to use
 the distinct() method.

 using .values().distinct().count(), it return 2k rows


 {{{
 In [6]: VirtualMachineResources.objects.all().values('machine', 'cluster')
    ...: .distinct().count()
 Out[6]: 2247
 }}}


 When I loop through the distinct query

 {{{
 for resource in VirtualMachineResources.objects.all().values('machine',
 'cluster').distinct():
     print(resource['machine'], resource['cluster'])
 }}}


 I observed it return 100k rows, with repeating rows that the same
 'machine` with/without the cluster.
