Runtime filterable distinctAttributes

[ilionic]

Problem

At the moment it's only possible to set distinctAttributes as an index setting.

Solution / Use cases

To make distinctAttributes work as a filter / query similar to SQL distinct_on or distinct override in Algolia

There are many use cases, for example in e-commerce to have bundles of limited edition products in one view ( with "hide copies" filter enabled ) OR having full list of items ( with "hide copies" disabled ).

Hello @ilionic 👋

It seems to be related to #414. Am I right?

Please let me know so that I can centralize both discussions.

Thank you!

Yes, looks like that's the case. Thanks!
