Github user fhueske commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/905#issuecomment-121286738 Hi, thanks for the pull request. I noticed that the `CollectionDataSets.getStringDataSet` data set does not contain any duplicates. Therefore, it is not well suited to test the distinct operator. There also a few more tests for the Distinct operator that need to be adapted: - DistinctITCase.java - DistinctOperatorTest.java - DistinctOperatorTest.scala The Unit tests (*Test) check if correct arguments are accepted and invalid arguments are rejected. It would be nice, if you could try to do a distinct() on a DataSet<YourObject>, where YourObject is not a Pojo but a generic type which does not implement `Comparable`, i.e., it is not a Key type. Thank you, Fabian
