[jira] Commented: (HIVE-1683) Column aliases cannot be used in a group by clause

----------------------------------

This is not a bug and should be closed as invalid.  Conceptually, GROUP BY processing happens before SELECT list computation, so it would be circular to allow such references.

A workaround is to use the original expression:

select col1, count(col2) from test group by col1;
