slim bouguerra commented on CALCITE-2035:
-----------------------------------------
[~julianhyde] with respect to ??Note "may" not "must", above: the planner may
choose a plan that returns exact results.??
is there a cost function that dictates which plan to chose? I couldn't see how
that is done?
Thanks.
> Add APPROX_COUNT_DISTINCT aggregate function

>
> Add {{APPROX_COUNT_DISTINCT}} aggregate function. The effect of
> {{APPROX_COUNT_DISTINCT(args)}} is the same as {{COUNT(DISTINCT args)}} but
> the planner may generate approximate results (e.g. by using HyperLogLog).
> Note "may" not "must", above: the planner may choose a plan that returns
> exact results.
> This is a step towards CALCITE-1588, which would allow an {{APPROXIMATE}}
> clause and specify in more detail the degree of approximation allowed.
