The process according to claim 1 wherein said distillate boiling range feedstream boils within 145° C. to about 425° C. 3. The process according to claim 1 wherein said reaction stage comprises one or more reactors or reaction zones each of which can comprise one or more catalyst beds selected from the group consisting of fluidized beds, ebullating beds, slurry beds, fixed beds, and moving beds wherein each of said one or more catalyst beds contains a catalyst suitable for the reaction zone in which the catalyst bed is located. 4. The process according to claim 3 wherein said reaction stage comprises one or more fixed catalyst beds. 5. The process according to claim 3 wherein said process further comprises cooling between catalyst beds, reactors, or reaction zones in said reaction stage. 6. The process according to claim 1 wherein said distillate boiling range feedstream is a diesel boiling range feedstream. 7. The process according to claim 6 wherein said diesel boiling range feedstream is selected from (1) diesel boiling range feedstreams that are not hydrotreated; (ii) are a blend of non-hydrotreated diesel boiling range feedstreams; (iii) are previously hydrotreated diesel boiling range feedstreams; (iv) are blends of hydrotreated diesel boiling range feedstreams; and (v) are blends of, non-hydrotreated and hydrotreated diesel boiling range feedstreams. 8.
