    Description

      As of 22.08.01 MCS does DISTINCT processing TupleAnnexStep. This step leverages hashmap for the purpose. This solution is simple but it:

      • lacks scalability
      • can't leverage disk-based capabilities of RowStorage class used by GROUP BY
      • ResourceManager that accounts RAM consumption doesn't counts the hashmap

      This issue is about a new DISTINCT implementation(presumably based on RowStorage) that:

      • can do external DISTINCT spilling on disk if necessary,
      • ResourceManager counts the implemenation RAM consumption
      • scales(this might be tricky since DISTINCT processing overlaps with ORDER BY)

      sprint 2025-7:

      • continue testing/ confirming edge cases
