    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-153?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12655413#action_12655413 ] 

Zheng Shao commented on HIVE-153:
---------------------------------

Basically, we should use meaningful names for internal names whenever possible, instead of using numbers like 0, 1, 2, etc.
