/**
 * A function that queries for unique values from a field in a [Layer](https://developers.arcgis.com/javascript/latest/references/core/layers/Layer/).
 *
 * > [!WARNING]
 * >
 * > **Known Limitations**
 * >
 * > [SceneLayers](https://developers.arcgis.com/javascript/latest/references/core/layers/SceneLayer/) must have the `supportsRenderer` and `supportsLayerQuery` capabilities enabled unless a predefined [statistics](https://developers.arcgis.com/javascript/latest/references/core/smartMapping/statistics/types/#SummaryStatisticsResult) object is provided to the `statistics` parameter of the method. To check a SceneLayer's capabilities, use the [SceneLayer.getFieldUsageInfo()](https://developers.arcgis.com/javascript/latest/references/core/layers/SceneLayer/#getFieldUsageInfo) method.
 * > You cannot generate unique values using SQL expressions for client-side [FeatureLayers](https://developers.arcgis.com/javascript/latest/references/core/layers/FeatureLayer/)
 * > in a [SceneView](https://developers.arcgis.com/javascript/latest/references/core/views/SceneView/).
