John Sichi reassigned HIVE-1654:
--------------------------------
Assignee: Arvind Prabhakar (was: John Sichi)
Arvind, this one is a good one to work on together with HIVE-1459 if you're up
for it.
I think we should rewrite the tree when we see * and regex, replacing them with
the actual column reference list, so that downstream code like DISTINCT doesn't
have to special-case it.
> select distinct should allow column name regex
