In the plan, v_lc_1, ..., v_lc_n are live "covering" variables at InputOp and v_l1, ....v_ln in the decoration part of the added group-by operator are all live variables at InputOp except the covering variables v_lc_1, ..., v_lc_n. In the current implementation, we use "covering" variables as primary key variables. In the next version, we will use the real primary key variables, which will fix ASTERIXDB-1168.
