Frank McQuillan updated MADLIB-1240:
------------------------------------
Description:
related to https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MADLIB-1239
Vector to Columns
Converts a feature array in a single column of an output table into multiple
columns. This process can be used to reverse the function cols2vec.
{code}
vec2cols(
source_table,
out_table,
vector_col,
dictionary,
cols_to_output
)
source_table
TEXT. Name of the table containing the source data.
out_table
TEXT. Name of the generated table containing the output. If a table with the
same name already exists, an error will be returned.
vector_col
TEXT. Name of the column containing the feature array. Must be a
one-dimensional array.
dictionary (optional)
TEXT[]. Array of names associated with the feature array. Note that this array
exists in the summary table created by the function 'cols2vec'. If the
dictionary array is not specified, column names will be automatically generated
of the form 'f1, f2, ...fn'
cols_to_output (optional)
TEXT, default NULL. Comma-separated string of column names from the source
table to keep in the output table, in addition to the feature columns. To keep
all columns from the source table, use '*'.
Output
The output table produced by the vec2cols function contains the following
columns:
<...>
Columns from source table, depending on which ones are kept (if any).
feature columns
Columns for each of the features in 'vector_col'. Column type will depend on
the feature array type in the source table. Column naming will depend on
whether the parameter 'dictionary' is used.
{code}
Notes
(1)
The function
http://pivotalsoftware.github.io/PDLTools/group__ArrayUtilities.html
is similar but the proposed MADlib one has more options. To do the equivalent
of the PDL Tools one in MADlib, you would do:
{code}
vec2cols(
table_name,
output_table,
vector_column,
NULL,
'*'
)
{code}
(2)
Please put the generated feature columns on the right side of the output table,
i.e., they will be the last column on the right. Maintain the order of the
array.
Examples of dictionary usage
select vec2cols(
source_table,
out_table,
vector_col,
SELECT col_names FROM a_table, -- dictionary array exists in table 'a_table'
cols_to_output
)
OR
select vec2cols(
source_table,
out_table,
vector_col,
dictionary,
cols_to_output
) from (select col_names as dictionary from a_table) q -- dictionary array
exists in table 'a_table'
OR
select vec2cols(
source_table,
out_table,
vector_col,
{'n1', 'n2'... 'nn'}, -- user explicitly enters dictionary
cols_to_output
)
OR
select vec2cols(
source_table,
out_table,
vector_col,
NULL, -- no dictionary exists, will auto-generate column names as f1, f2, ...
cols_to_output
)
