[jira] [Commented] (HIVE-5657) TopN produces incorrect results with count(distinct)

["Navis (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-5657?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13812617#comment-13812617 ] 

Navis commented on HIVE-5657:
-----------------------------

HIVE-5503 is committed and I cannot rebase on that. Was it necessary to "refactor" the codes which is not yet confirmed solid and has on-going issues on it? I appreciate progresses made by members of the company. But not like this.

> Attached patch illustrates the problem.
> limit_pushdown test has various other cases of aggregations and distincts, incl. count-distinct, that work correctly (that said, src dataset is bad for testing these things because every count, for example, produces one record only), so something must be special about this.
> I am not very familiar with distinct- code and these nuances; if someone knows a quick fix feel free to take this, otherwise I will probably start looking next week.
