Hi Michael,

This is supported and should work.

Subject: aggregations over multiple columns?

Hi HIVErs,

I'm trying to perform the following aggregation query in HIVE, which finds the 
largest purchase for all combinations of customer and store:

  SELECT customer, store, max(purchasePrice)
  FROM transactions
  GROUP BY customer, store

If aggregation over multiple columns is not currently supported, how might I 
reformulate this to work in HIVE, possibly via a simpler series of queries?

(I will post the exact error and reproducible code if it turns out this query 
is valid).

regards,

Mike
