> A set operation (i.e union) over two queries that produce identical row values should return the distinct set of rows and not all rows.
> ISO-SQL set operation semantics default to DISTINCT 
> SPARK implementation is defaulting to ALL
> While SPARK allows DISTINCT keyword and some might assume ALL is faster, the wrong result set semantically is produced per standard (and commercial SQL systems including: ORACLE, DB2, Teradata, SQL Server etc.)
