             Summary: Support group by position in SQL
                 Key: SPARK-13957
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-13957
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: SQL
            Reporter: Reynold Xin


This is to support order by position in SQL, e.g.

{noformat}
select c1, c2, c3, sum(*) from tbl group by by 1, 3, c4
{noformat}

should be equivalent to

{noformat}
select c1, c2, c3, sum(*) from tbl order by c1, c3, c4
{noformat}

We only convert integer literals (not foldable expressions).

For positions that are aggregate functions, an analysis exception should be 
thrown, e.g. in postgres;

{noformat}

rxin=# select 'one', 'two', count(*) from r1 group by 1, 3;
ERROR:  aggregate functions are not allowed in GROUP BY
LINE 1: select 'one', 'two', count(*) from r1 group by 1, 3;
                             ^
{noformat}
