Features: 1) Optimize retrieval of filterable attributes by grouping attribute values and reducing query overhead;

Fixes: 1) Handle `user` lookup more robustly using `getattr`; 2) Prevent redundant list creation in distinct value processing;

Extra: 1) Use consistent cache key variable; 2) Improve code readability with `defaultdict` for grouping; 3) Minor cleanup and formatting enhancements; 4) Remove unnecessary attribute redefinitions.
