00031 * This aggregator could be used in combination with
00032 * coherence::util::extractor::MultiExtractor allowing
00033 * to collect all unique combinations (tuples) of a given set of attributes.
00034 *
00035 * The DistinctValues aggregator covers a simple case of a more generic
00036 * aggregation pattern implemented by the GroupAggregator, which in
00037 * addition to collecting all distinct values or tuples, runs an aggregation
00038 * against each distinct entry set (group).
