Is anyone available to review this?
> New UDF - CountDistinctUpTo
> ---------------------------
>
> Key: DATAFU-117
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DATAFU-117
> Project: DataFu
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Eyal Allweil
> Attachments: DATAFU-117-2.patch, DATAFU-117.patch

>
> A UDF that counts distinct tuples within a bag, but only up to a preset
> limit. If the bag contains more distinct tuples than the limit, the UDF
> returns the limit.
> This UDF can run reasonably well even on large bags if the limit chosen is
> small enough though the count is done in memory.
> We use this UDF in PayPal for filtering, when we don't need to use the actual
> tuples afterward.
