@nealrichardson nealrichardson commented Nov 5, 2024

Rationale for this change

Support a missing feature, just wiring up some stuff from R to Acero, then adding docs and tests.

This is mostly picking up where #13934 started and finishing it out. Thanks @mopcup for the initial lift.

What changes are included in this PR?

An aggregation binding, some symbol manipulation, and tests. I also cleaned up some dplyr test shims from 2022.

Are these changes tested?

Yes, though if anyone knows of odd corners in distinct() that aren't covered by this, we can add more

Are there any user-facing changes?

Yes indeed.

Thanks for this! Mostly questions about messaging + conveying some of the nuances

Is 110-111 the error that someone would get if they tried distinct(..., .keep_all = TRUE) with a factor in the table/data.frame?

We might want to make that a bit nicer / more grokable for folks who might not have the dictionary -> factor knowledge top of mind

# Note: in regular dplyr, `.keep_all = TRUE` returns the first row's value.
# However, Acero's `hash_one` function prefers returning non-null values.
# So, you'll get the same shape of data, but the values may differ.

This behavior change is probably either not-impactful, or if folks are relying on it, that is actually a bug in their code. Though it does seem like something we should mention (in docs at least?).

Or maybe with a one-time warning?
