Herman van Hovell commented on SPARK-17423: ------------------------------------------- IMO LEAD and LAG with ignore nulls seem a bit dodgy to me. We support `FIRST` and `LAST` with ignore nulls. You could use this in combination with a window frame to create the same functionality. For instance, the following query would find the first non null value within the leading 5 rows: {noformat} SELECT *, FIRST(value, true) OVER (PARTITION BY grp ORDER BY date ROWS BETWEEN 5 PRECEDING AND CURRENT ROW) FROM tbl {noformat} > Support IGNORE NULLS option in Window functions > ----------------------------------------------- > > Key: SPARK-17423 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-17423 > Project: Spark > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: SQL > Affects Versions: 2.0.0 > Reporter: Tim Chan > Priority: Minor > > http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24338119/is-it-possible-to-ignore-null-values-when-using-lag-and-lead-functions-in-sq -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: issues-unsubscr...@spark.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: issues-h...@spark.apache.org
