count(*) doesn't work

[PangZhi]

I created a ddf and then try to run ddfmanager.sql(“select count(*), column from ddf group by column").
It has the following error msg:

Caused by: org.apache.flink.api.common.typeutils.CompositeType$InvalidFieldReferenceException: Unable to find field "intermediate" in type org.apache.flink.ap

I tried the following,

val carsDDF = loadMtCarsDDF()
val result = flinkDDFManager.sql("select count(*),cyl from mtcars group by cyl",FlinkConstants.ENGINE_NAME)
import scala.collection.JavaConversions._
result.getRows.foreach(println)

and the result was

7,6
11,4
14,8

@Shiti Can you try to create another ddf from mtcars,
and run the sql("select count(*), cyl from new_ddf group by cyl")

[Shiti]

I got the error when I tried the following code and its not specific to count(*). i.e., count(columnName) also throws the same error.

    val carsDDF = loadMtCarsDDF()
    val result = flinkDDFManager.sql2ddf("select count(mpg),cyl from mtcars group by cyl",FlinkConstants.ENGINE_NAME)
    val rows = result.sql("select * from @this","")
    rows.getRows.foreach(println)

A temporary workaround for this is to use alias for the count operation,

select count(*) as count_by_cyl,cyl from mtcars group by cyl
