> Problem:
> When running a Hive query that aggregates (does a group by operation), Hive will automatically name this column _c0, _c1, _c2, etc.. This is a problem because Hive will not then execute a query against a column that begins with "_" and then the user has to manually input back-ticks in order to get the query to run.
> Potential Solution:
> Hive should by default call these columns by their query assignment like "sum_active30day_users" or if that is not possible, call it something simple like "column_1" so that users can then query the new column without adding special back-ticks.
> Example Query:
> SELECT a.ds, COUNT(a.num_accounts)
> Example Result:
> ds, count_num_accounts OR ds, column_1
