Review Comment:
I actually intend to only provide streaming examples to avoid the additional
explanation on batch case. For batch, there are a bunch of tools to perform
deduplication, distinct / dropDuplicates / dropDuplicatesWithinWatermark. Most
of batch use cases don't need to come up with using
dropDuplicatesWithinWatermark.
