描述

Feature request

The following AQDL:

SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT diaObjectId) FROM ppdb.DiaObject

can be translated to:

import numpy as np
# This is just loading data from the diaObjectId column.
np.unique(compute(ppdb["diaObjectId"]))

# It may also be possible to do it via Dask:
compute(ppdb["diaObjectId"].unique())

There is quite a lot to translate here, since the COUNT and DISTINCT are not being done as part of compute, but outside of it. Despite the long reach, however, the concept here is a common one, and detecting that the user is asking for it and turning it into the most efficient LSDB version is still worth doing.

Before submitting Please check the following:
