     ``fetchJoinCollection`` argument set to ``true`` might affect results if you use aggregations in your query.
+
+By using the ``Paginator::HINT_ENABLE_DISTINCT`` you can instruct doctrine that the query to be executed
+will not produce "duplicate" rows (only to-one relations are joined), thus the SQL limit will work as expected.
+In this way the `DISTINCT` keyword will be omitted and can bing important performance improvements.
