Frank McQuillan updated MADLIB-1460:
------------------------------------
Fix Version/s: v1.18.0
> Prevent an "integer out of range" exception in linear regression train
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MADLIB-1460
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MADLIB-1460
> Project: Apache MADlib
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Module: Linear Regression
> Reporter: Daniel Daniel
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: v1.18.0
>
>
> Linear regression training results in 2 output tables (*neither are
> optional*):
> * The *primary* output table, that includes the computed coefficients.
> * A *summary* output table, that contains a single line.
> +Scenario+
> Running the linear regression training in postgresql on an input table which
> has *more than 2^31 records* within it (even if a grouping column is
> specified), fails due to an "*integer out of range*" exception.
> +Source+
> *The summary table* has a column that stores *the total number of records*
> involved in the computation. The column's data type is a *singed integer*.
> However, the total number of records is computed as a *BIGINT*. Therefore,
> when the total number of records in the input table is beyond the range of a
> signed integer (i.e., 2^31), an "integer out of range" exception is thrown.
> +Solution+
> A simple solution is to change the data type of the column from a *signed
> integer* into a *BIGINT*.
> +Test+
> We have executed the linear regression training function with and without the
> suggested modification on an input table having between 2^31-2^32 records.
> Without the modification, an integer out of range exception was thrown. After
> modifying the code as suggested, it worked perfectly.
