Hequn Cheng commented on FLINK-5315: ------------------------------------ [~walterddr] Hi, I think the truth is we can never write a \{{a.distinct}} expression. It is not valid. Because there are no aggregations return multi rows. It is only valid to do \{{a.count}}. And the difference between \{{a.agg.distinct}} and \{{a.agg}} is whether it is a distinct-agg. I think the semantic is very clear. What do you think? :) > Support distinct aggregations in table api > ------------------------------------------ > > Key: FLINK-5315 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-5315 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: Table API & SQL > Reporter: Kurt Young > Assignee: Rong Rong > Priority: Major > > Such as > {code} > t.select("count(distinct a), sum(b)") > {code} > or > {code} > t.select('a.count.distinct), 'b.sum) > {code} -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
