Description

**Dedup command: Filter out or dedup duplicate data in ES|QL queries**

**Value proposition**

Sometimes the processing stages of a query can result in duplicate data. Users want to remove the events that contain an identical combination of values for the fields that they specify. This enables more precise and relevant data results by identifying and removing duplicate events or documents according to your chosen criteria. This command makes your data cleaner and more reliable for analysis.

**Expected outcome**

Improved Reporting Precision: Reports and dashboards will reflect unique occurrences, leading to more dependable metrics and conclusions.
Clearer Analysis: Data becomes easier to interpret, as redundant information is removed, allowing a focus on distinct events.
Simplified Data Preparation: Users will spend less effort on manual or complex methods to filter out duplicate records, making data ready for use more quickly.
Reduced Data Volume for Specific Tasks: Where uniqueness is key, the amount of data requiring processing or review can be significantly reduced.

**Optional: Key user stories / use cases**
