Herman van Hovell commented on SPARK-18688:
-------------------------------------------
For my reference: Could you give an example of how you would write this using a
cartesian join?
> Interpolated time series join
> -----------------------------
>
> Key: SPARK-18688
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-18688
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: SQL
> Affects Versions: 2.0.2
> Reporter: Jarno Seppanen
>
> Time series joins are very common in analytics tasks. A simple example would
> be joining the newest value of number of followers from data frame F with
> sessions from data frame S. Currently, a cross join is needed for such joins
> in Spark, making them practically impossible.
> Example syntax:
> {noformat}
> SELECT l.account_id, l.time AS login_time, f.num_followers
> FROM account_login l
> LEFT JOIN follower_count_changed f
> ON (f.account_id = l.account_id
> AND l.time INTERPOLATE PREVIOUS VALUE f.time)
> {noformat}
> In essence, I'd like to have support for efficiently running joins like
> INTERPOLATE PREVIOUS VALUE joins in Vertica [1].
> Thanks for your consideration,
> Jarno
