Rob n all - I tried below and created the jar file. For adding jar to class path, I do following:
hive> add jar /users/unix/singhka/Analytics.jar; The above seems to have worked fine as I see the resource added but when I go ahead and create a function, I get the following error. Any ideas what the issue can be? hive> create temporary function lag as 'com.example.hive.udf.Lag'; FAILED: Execution Error, return code 1 from org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.FunctionTask Regards, -----Original Message----- From: Hamilton, Robert (Austin) [mailto:robert.hamil...@hp.com] Sent: 10 April 2012 20:32 To: user@hive.apache.org Subject: RE: Lag function in Hive You can write a custom UDF - Here is one that I have played around with, along with some test SQL. It comes with no warrantee :) Sorry I can't really share the test data, but hopefully you get the idea. To run, compile the Lag class, jar it up into Analytics.jar, put the jar on the CLASSPATH (you may need to deploy to all the nodes on the cluster) and run the hive command below. Note the "distribute by" and "sort by" are critical. Also the sub-select is just an artifice to make sure the UDF is running in the reducer (so that it is sorted). Maybe the hive experts can suggest a better way for that to work... # # use live clickstream test data from 2012-01-12 # hive -e "add jar Analytics.jar; create temporary function lag as 'com.example.hive.udf.Lag'; select session_id,hit_datetime_gmt,lag(hit_datetime_gmt,session_id) from (select session_id,hit_datetime_gmt from omni2 where visit_day='2012-01-12' and session_id is not null distribute by session_id sort by session_id,hit_datetime_gmt ) X distribute by session_id limit 1000 " ------------------------ Contents of Lag.java ----------------------------------------- package com.example.hive.udf; import org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.UDF; public final class Lag extends UDF{ private int counter; private String last_key; private String lastGroup; private String return_value=""; public String evaluate(String key, String groupKey){ if(groupKey==null){ this.last_key=null; }else if ( !groupKey.equalsIgnoreCase(this.lastGroup )) { this.last_key=null; } return_value=this.last_key; this.last_key = key; this.lastGroup=groupKey; return return_value; } } Result of test run: 1326326437-26270601625187049522752846106448274394 2012-01-12 00:00:37 NULL 1326326437-26270601625187049522752846106448274394 2012-01-12 00:00:59 2012-01-12 00:00:37 1326326437-26270601625187049522752846106448274394 2012-01-12 00:01:05 2012-01-12 00:00:59 1326326437-26270601625187049522752846106448274394 2012-01-12 00:01:07 2012-01-12 00:01:05 1326326437-26270601625187049522752846106448274394 2012-01-12 00:01:11 2012-01-12 00:01:07 1326326437-26270601625187049522752846106448274394 2012-01-12 00:01:12 2012-01-12 00:01:11 1326326437-26270601625187049522752846106448274394 2012-01-12 00:01:24 2012-01-12 00:01:12 1326326437-26270601625187049522752846106448274394 2012-01-12 00:01:32 2012-01-12 00:01:24 1326326437-26270601625187049522752846106448274394 2012-01-12 00:01:45 2012-01-12 00:01:32 1326326437-26270601625187049522752846106448274394 2012-01-12 00:01:48 2012-01-12 00:01:45 -----Original Message----- From: Philip Tromans [mailto:philip.j.trom...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, April 10, 2012 9:18 AM To: user@hive.apache.org Subject: Re: Lag function in Hive Hi Karan, To the best of my knowledge, there isn't one. It's also unlikely to happen because it's hard to parallelise in a map-reduce way (it requires knowing where you are in a result set, and who your neighbours are and they in turn need to be present on the same node as you which is difficult to guarantee).
