Github user windpiger commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/15668 @cloud-fan yes,It is simpler,I check the query plan, my test case `sql("SELECTpercentile_approx(key, 0.99999)" + ", count(distinct key),sum(distinct key) FROM src LIMIT 1")` explain is ok as follows: `+- *Expand [List(null, null, 0, cast(key#29 as double)), List(key#29, null, 1, null), List(null, cast(key#29 as bigint), 2, null)], [src.`key`#38, CAST(src.`key` AS BIGINT)#39L, gid#37, CAST(src.`key` AS DOUBLE)#40] +- HiveTableScan [key#29], MetastoreRelation default, src` But, I miss one case that the distinct on a constant like: `sql("SELECTpercentile_approx(key, 0.99999)" + ", count(distinct key),sum(distinct key),count(distinct 1) FROM src LIMIT 1")` explain with a literal expand as follows: `+- *Expand [List(null, null, null, 0, cast(key#69 as double)), List(1, null, null, 1, null), List(null, key#69, null, 2, null), List(null, null, cast(key#69 as bigint), 3, null)], [src.`key`#80, CAST(src.`key` AS BIGINT)#81L, gid#79, CAST(src.`key` AS DOUBLE)#82] +- HiveTableScan [key#69], MetastoreRelation default, src`
