As for the table API equivalency, I can see that we have a method in the Table 
interface to perform distinct operations.

> Currently, there is no corresponding functionality in Table API for the

> For example, for the following job:
> {code:java}
> table.select("distinct a")
> {code}
> It will thrown the following exception:
> {code:java}
