cleanup for group by in semanticanalyzer
----------------------------------------

                 Key: HIVE-651
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-651
             Project: Hadoop Hive
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Query Processor
            Reporter: Namit Jain


The code in semantic analyzer is getting pretty complex. There are many 
functions which do similar stuff and it becoming painful to debug these 
scenarios.

It would be useful to break up that code into smaller modules, which will make 
it more readable.

Some common pieces which can be factored out are as follows:

1. Resolution of the aggregation function - this can happen before any group 
by, and is independent of whether distinct or non-distinct aggregation is being 
performed.
2. After the resolution, a mode can be passed which indicates whether partial 
aggregation is required or not.

Some more detailed inspection of the code is needed, but the amount of common 
code can be refactored and reduced.
