-----------------------------
Fix Version/s: (was: 1.3.0)
> Optimize count distinct in case of high cardinality columns
> -----------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SPARK-6006
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-6006
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: SQL
> Affects Versions: 1.1.1, 1.2.1
> Reporter: Yash Datta
> Priority: Minor
>
> In case there are a lot of distinct values, count distinct becomes too slow
> since it tries to hash partial results to one map. It can be improved by
> creating buckets/partial maps in an intermediate stage where same key from
> multiple partial maps of first stage hash to the same bucket. Later we can
> sum the size of these buckets to get total distinct count.
