Getting duplicate rename fields error after upgrade from 6.3.0 to 6.4.2

The following search worked prior to upgrade:

| stats sparkline count dc(sourcetype) as sourcetype last(_raw) as last_raw_msg values(sourcetype) as sourcetype last(_time) as earliest_msg_time first(_time) as latest_msg_time values(index) as index by punct
| eval delta=round((latest_msg_time-earliest_msg_time),0)
| eval msg_per_sec=round((count/delta),2)
| convert ctime(earliest_msg_time) ctime(latest_msg_time)
| table last_raw_msg count sourcetype sparkline msg_per_sec sourcetype earliest_msg_time latest_msg_time
| sort -count

Error in 'stats' command: 1 duplicate rename field(s)

You do have a duplicate stats functions dc(sourcetype) as sourcetype and values(sourcetype) as sourcetype. I can't imagine this would have worked in 6.3.0.

Any how, you can (should) change the name of one of them.

Thanks, Somesh
My brain wasn't registering that "as" is equivalent to the "rename" command.
