Hi,

Actually we do not have "last" syntax now. There are two ways to treat last:

(1) Treat it as a special case of raw data query
(2)Treat it as a aggregation query

Before deciding, let's consider two questions:

(1) Is last an aggregation function or is the result format of last the same 
with aggregation queries?

 I thinks it's not. One aggregation function should return one column. For 
example, the result of "select count(s1) from xx" has one column: count(s1). 
 However, the last should return three columns: path, time, value

(2) Could "last" be used with other aggregations at the same time?

NO, if users issue a last query, he should query the last of all selected 
series. "select last(s1), count(s2)" is not allowed.
i.e., it could only be this form: select last(s1), last(s2), last(s3), last(s4) 
from root.sg.d1.    And if so, why we duplicate last so many times...

Therefor, I prefer treat last as a special case of raw data query. i.e.,  4. 
select last s1, s2 from root.sg.d1

Thanks,
