You could also do something like `AddCountDistinctKernel<Int64Type>(uint64())` which would collapse the signed and unsigned implementations for each bit width. Also now that I look at it, we should be able to support interval types here too - e.g. months interval is the same as int32, day-time interval is the same as int64. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
