  This file implements the group_by_handler interface. This interface
  can be used by storage handlers that can intercept summary or GROUP
  BY queries from MariaDB and itself return the result to the user or
  upper level. It is part of the Storage Engine API

Both main and sub queries are supported. Here are some examples of what the
  storage engine could intersept:

SELECT count(*) FROM t1;
  SELECT a,count(*) FROM t1 group by a;
  SELECT a,count(*) as sum FROM t1 where b > 10 group by a, order by sum;
  SELECT a,count(*) FROM t1,t2;
  SELECT a, (select sum(*) from t2 where t1.a=t2.a) from t2;
*/

/**
  The structure describing various parts of the query

The engine is supposed to take out parts that it can do internally.
  For example, if the engine can return results sorted according to
  the specified order_by clause, it sets Query::order_by=NULL before
  returning.

At the moment the engine must take group_by (or return an error), and
  optionally can take distinct, where, order_by, and having.

The engine should not modify the select list. It is the extended SELECT
  clause (extended, because it has more items than the original
  user-specified SELECT clause) and it contains all aggregate functions,
  used in the query.
