Greg Hogan commented on FLINK-3279:
-----------------------------------
I fixed the wording of my comment. I think Fabian's suggestion was to
investigate changing {{DistinctOperator}} from using {{GroupReduce}} to using
{{Reduce}}. Then we could add {{setCombineHint}} to {{DistinctOperator}} rather
than my suggestion above.
> Optionally disable DistinctOperator combiner

> Key: FLINK-3279
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-3279
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: DataSet API
> Affects Versions: 1.0.0
> Reporter: Greg Hogan
> Assignee: Greg Hogan
> Priority: Minor
>
> Calling {{DataSet.distinct()}} executes {{DistinctOperator.DistinctFunction}}
> which is a combinable {{RichGroupReduceFunction}}. Sometimes we know that
> there will be few duplicate records and disabling the combine would improve
> performance.
> I propose adding {{public DistinctOperator<T> setCombinable(boolean
> combinable)}} to {{DistinctOperator}}.
