What is a difference between afterDistinct and facetingAfterDistinct? – Algolia

afterDistinct computes the facet counts of a specific attribute after distinct has been applied. This only affects a single attribute.
facetingAfterDistinct affects all attributes and it's applied to all facets of the query.
facetingAfterDistinct can only be set at query time. You can’t add it as a default setting of the index, while afterDistinct can be set in your attributesForFaceting
If you have the same facet values in all records sharing the same distinct key, you can use facetingAfterDistinct=true.
To avoid inconsistent results when the records sharing the same distinct key don’t have the same facet values, use the afterDistinct
