It means exactly that: more effective plan. If we know in advance that entries will be grouped by colocated field, then we can avoid grouping on reduce side. If they are grouped by non-colocated field and the flag is set, then the plan will be invalid and user will get wrong result. I'm not sure how to write it better in docs.
