> 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.
