Maybe sampling? I’m not aware of a built-in way to do that. But you could index a random float between, say 0 and 100 and then filter out a sample by filtering for number<X to keep only X% of the data set. Or maybe you’d think that faceting on 10K would be enough (e.g. if you don’t need the numbers, just some unique values). But I really don’t see a good solution to that - you’d have to terminateEarly and do faceting somehow… Best regards, Radu
