------------------------------------

Hi [~walterddr] Distinct of Table is not a modifier. It is an operator. The 
output are different for
{code:java}
table.select('a, 'b).distinct
{code}
and
{code:java}
table.distinct.select('a, 'b)
{code}
For the distinct of agg. It is better to put distinct together with agg. You 
can treat {{agg.distinct}} as a whole, i.e. 
{{'a.aggwithdistinct}}/{{aggwithdistinct(a)}}.  
 What do you think?

> For Expressions:
> {code:scala}
> 'a.count.distinct // Expressions distinct modifier
> {code}
> For User-defined Function:
> {code:scala}
> singleArgUdaggFunc.distinct('a) // FunctionCall distinct modifier
> multiArgUdaggFunc.distinct('a, 'b) // FunctionCall distinct modifier
> {code}
