   I tried it with `mta_tax` which has 385 distinct values, and it also 
crashes.  But I'd expect that, seeing as the data isn't already partitioned on 
that variable and it'd need to all be in memory to work out how many distinct 
partitions it needs.  Actually, no, perhaps I wouldn't given we can call 
`distinct()` on a column without having all data in memory, though I don't know 
if the same mechanism that allows that is used when working out what data goes 
in what partition.
   
   But, I don't know how this works internally here.
