Prevent a panic when aggregates are used in an inner query with a raw query #7966

@jsternberg jsternberg commented Feb 8, 2017

The following types of queries will panic:

SELECT mean, host FROM (SELECT mean(value) FROM cpu GROUP BY host)
SELECT top(sum, host, 3) FROM (SELECT sum(value) FROM cpu GROUP BY host)

These queries should work, but due to a current limitation with
aggregate functions, the aggregate functions won't return any auxiliary
fields. So even if a tag is not an auxiliary field, it is treated that
way by the query engine and this query will fail.

Fixing this properly will take a longer period of time. This fix just
prevents the panic from killing the server while we fix this for real.

Related to #7898.

The following types of queries will panic:

    SELECT mean, host FROM (SELECT mean(value) FROM cpu GROUP BY host)
    SELECT top(sum, host, 3) FROM (SELECT sum(value) FROM cpu GROUP BY host)

These queries _should_ work, but due to a current limitation with
aggregate functions, the aggregate functions won't return any auxiliary
fields. So even if a tag is not an auxiliary field, it is treated that
way by the query engine and this query will fail.

Fixing this properly will take a longer period of time. This fix just
