Alan Gates commented on HIVE-896: --------------------------------- Harish, Thanks for you replies. I want to think on your explanation in 2 above some more, but at least I think I understand your rationale now. One other question. I tried playing around with this but kept getting an error. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I have a table that I created with the following statement: {code} create table studenttab10k (name string, age int, gpa float); {code} When I run {code} select avg(gpa) over (cluster by age) from studenttab10k; {code} I get {code} FAILED: SemanticException 1:43 No partition specification associated with start of PTF chain . Error encountered near token 'age' {code} I looked through the syntax file and I think I'm doing the right thing, but obviously I'm not. > Add LEAD/LAG/FIRST/LAST analytical windowing functions to Hive. > --------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-896 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-896 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: OLAP, UDF > Reporter: Amr Awadallah > Priority: Minor > Attachments: HIVE-896.1.patch.txt > > > Windowing functions are very useful for click stream processing and similar > time-series/sliding-window analytics. > More details at: > http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B13789_01/server.101/b10736/analysis.htm#i1006709 > http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B13789_01/server.101/b10736/analysis.htm#i1007059 > http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B13789_01/server.101/b10736/analysis.htm#i1007032 > -- amr -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
