lincoln.lee updated FLINK-6101:
-------------------------------
    Description: 
currently the TableAPI do not support selecting GroupBy fields with expression 
either using original field name or the expression 

{code}
 val t = CollectionDataSets.get5TupleDataSet(env).toTable(tEnv, 'a, 'b, 'c, 'd, 
'e)
        .groupBy('e, 'b % 3)
        .select('b, 'c.min, 'e, 'a.avg, 'd.count)
{code}
caused
{code}
org.apache.flink.table.api.ValidationException: Cannot resolve [b] given input 
[e, ('b % 3), TMP_0, TMP_1, TMP_2].
{code}
(BTW, this syntax is invalid in RDBMS which will indicate the selected column 
is invalid in the select list because it is not contained in either an 
aggregate function or the GROUP BY clause in SQL Server.)

and 
{code}
 val t = CollectionDataSets.get5TupleDataSet(env).toTable(tEnv, 'a, 'b, 'c, 'd, 
'e)
        .groupBy('e, 'b % 3)
        .select('b%3, 'c.min, 'e, 'a.avg, 'd.count)
{code}
will also cause
{code}
org.apache.flink.table.api.ValidationException: Cannot resolve [b] given input 
[e, ('b % 3), TMP_0, TMP_1, TMP_2].
{code}

and add an alias in groupBy clause "group(e, 'b%3 as 'b)" work without avail

the only way to get this work can be 
{code}
 val t = CollectionDataSets.get5TupleDataSet(env).toTable(tEnv, 'a, 'b, 'c, 'd, 
'e)
        .select('a, 'b%3 as 'b, 'c, 'd, 'e)
        .groupBy('e, 'b)
        .select('b, 'c.min, 'e, 'a.avg, 'd.count)
{code}

One way to solve this is to add support alias in groupBy clause ( it seems a 
bit odd against SQL though TableAPI has a different groupBy grammar),  
and I prefer to support select original expressions in groupBy clause(make 
consistent with SQL).

as thus:
{code}
 val t = CollectionDataSets.get5TupleDataSet(env).toTable(tEnv, 'a, 'b, 'c, 'd, 
'e)
        .groupBy('e, 'b % 3)
        .select('b % 3, 'c.min, 'e, 'a.avg, 'd.count)
{code}


After had a look into the code, found there was a problem in the groupBy 
implementation, validation hadn't considered the expressions in groupBy clause. 
it should be noted that a table has been actually changed after groupBy 
operation ( a new Table) and the groupBy keys replace the original field 
reference in essence,  groupBy keys can only be selected or not, we can not do 
other calculation on them.
 
What do you think?
