Assume we have a log file with at least the following fields

  timestamp   field A   field B   field C .....

  ex:

  1316018215   u1       105        a
  1316018215   u2       30         a
  1316018215   u3       550        c
  1316018215   u2        21        a
  1316018215   u1       65         b
  1316018215   u3       105        a
  1316018215   u2        34        b
  1316018215   u1       105        c

The question: I would like to ask the following questions of this data

1. Plot for me a graph of Unique C vs. (sum of B for each unique C )
2. Plot for me a graph of Unique C vs. (sum of B for each unique C div count of occurrences).
