[jira] [Updated] (KYLIN-3487) Create a new measure for count distinct

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KYLIN-3487?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Zhong Yanghong updated KYLIN-3487:
----------------------------------
    Description: 
In eBay, there'll be around 20M sessions each day. And there's a requirement to calculate the count distinct of sessions

For deep dive, users want to get the session cardinality in a year, or even several years. If just for one year, the total cardinality will be around 20M*360 = 7B > 2B. It will exceed the the upper limitation of bitmap, and will not good for 


To calculate the count distinct of session, if a session never crosses days, it's meaningless to merge the related counter, bitmap or hll, across days.


For count distinct session, it's meaningless to merge across days, for session is never across days. Therefore, we may need a new measure containing a map, using the date info as the key, and using bitmap or hll as the value. When calculating count distinct, it's only need to get the state for each key-value entry and then to summarize the states. And we don't need merge bitmap or hll across different key-value entries.
