I am wondering about two things, maybe I didnt catch something as I was
just scrolling through:
-Why the output of the distinct methods are not DataStream<Long>
-Why don't we have a distinct method that does not take a field-position,
so counting the true distinct elements in the stream
> Approximately calculate the number of distinct elements of a stream
