UNION (without the following ALL or DISTINCT keyword) is interpreted as DISTINCT and as @arina-ielchiieva 's example shows, it currently is processed in 2 steps: union-all followed by a distinct (group-by). As a separate enhancement, unless a JIRA already exists, we should file one to natively support union-distinct within the same operator.
