Julian Hyde commented on HIVE-15996:
------------------------------------
[~jcamachorodriguez] [~cartershanklin], Yes, I meant to say {{GROUPING_ID}}.
The authors of the SQL standard were smart to extend GROUPING rather than
create another function name, as Oracle did. The namespace (GROUPING_ID,
GROUPING, GROUP_ID not to mention GROUP BY and GROUPING SETS) is over-full and
confusing.

> Per the SQL standard section 6.9:
> GROUPING ( CR1, ..., CRN-1, CRN )
> is equivalent to:
> CAST ( ( 2 * GROUPING ( CR1, ..., CRN-1 ) + GROUPING ( CRN ) ) AS IDT )
> So for example:
> select c1, c2, c3, grouping(c1, c2, c3) from e011_02 group by rollup(c1, c2,
> c3);
> Should be allowed and equivalent to:
> select c1, c2, c3, 4*grouping(c1) + 2*grouping(c2) + grouping(c3) from
> e011_02 group by rollup(c1, c2, c3);
