> 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.
