New here. Hello all. Could you try a self-join, possibly also restricted to partitions?
E.g. SELECT t2.value - t1.value FROM mytable t1, mytable t2 WHERE t1.rownum = t2.rownum+1 AND t1.partition=foo AND t2.partition=bar If your data is clustered by rownum, then this join should, in theory, be relatively fast -- especially if it makes sense to exploit partitions. -d On Apr 10, 2012, at 10:37 AM, <karanveer.si...@barclays.com> <karanveer.si...@barclays.com> wrote: > Makes sense but is not the distribution across nodes for a chunk of records > in that order. > > If Hive cannot help me do this, is there another way I can do this?
