Hi all,
here is the question. Assume we have a table like:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
user_id || user_visiting_time || user_current_web_page ||
user_previous_web_page
user 1 time (1,1) page 1
page 0
user 1 time (1,2) page 2
page 1
user 1 time (1,3 ) page 3
page 2
..... ......
.... ....
user n time (n,1) page 1
page 0
user n time (n,2) page 2
page 1
user n time (n,3) page 3
page 2
that is, in each row, we know the current web page that user is viewing,
and we know the previous web page the user coming from
now we want to generate a list for each user that recorded the complete
path the user is taking:
i.e., how can we use hive to generate output like:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
user 1 : page 1 page 2 page 3 page 4 .......... (till reach the
beginning page of user 1)
user 2: page 1 page 2 page 3 page 4 page 5 ....... ( till reach
the beginning page of user 2)
the web pages viewed by user 1 and user 2 might be different.
can we generate this using hive?
thanks,
