             Summary: Enable deriving dimensions on non PK/FK
                 Key: KYLIN-1313
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KYLIN-1313
             Project: Kylin
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: hongbin ma
            Assignee: hongbin ma


currently derived column has to be columns on look table, and the derived host 
column has to be PK/FK(It's also a problem when the lookup table grows every 
large). Sometimes columns on the fact exhibit deriving relationship too. Here's 
an example fact table:

(dt date, seller_id bigint, seller_name varchar(100) , item_id bigint, item_url 
varchar(1000), count decimal, price decimal)

seller_name is uniquely determined by each seller id, and item_url is uniquely 
determined by each item_id. The users does not expect to do filtering on 
columns like seller name or item_url, they just want to retrieve it when they 
do grouping/filtering on other dimensions like selller id, item id or even 
other dimensions like dt.
