I need to execute query like
x
select
myUsualField, SOME_FUNCTION(myAnotherField) as myUnusualField
from MYTABLE
group by
myUsualField, myUnusualField
In Hive this query fails: it cannot find field myUnusualField among other fields of the table.
Does this mean that in order to group by any calculated column in Hive I have to use subqueries?
select * from (
select
myUsualField, SOME_FUNCTION(myAnotherField) as myUnusualField
from MYTABLE
) sourceTable
group by
myUsualField, myUnusualField
?

Try repeating the expression:
select myUsualField, SOME_FUNCTION(myAnotherField) as myUnusualField
from MYTABLE
group by myUsualField, SOME_FUNCTION(myAnotherField) ;
