Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by tracing Pinot's handling of SELECT DISTINCT queries and how indexes are used for low-cardinality columns. Define the execution approach and validation criteria, then add tests or benchmarks showing that the stated query shape uses the index and improves performance.
