Hi Everett, That's pretty much what I'd do. Can't think of a way to beat your solution. Why do you "feel vaguely uneasy about it"?
I'd also check out the execution plan (with explain) to see how it's gonna work at runtime. I may have seen groupBy + join be better than window (there were more exchanges in play for windows I reckon).
