I tried to create a additional field based on ROW_NUMBER but it can't be
used in LAG function.
The idea was:
WITH ranked AS (
SELECT
msisdn,
eventTimestamp,
zoneIds,
ts,
TO_TIMESTAMP_LTZ(ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY msisdn ORDER BY
ts), 3) AS ts_ranked
FROM example_2
)
SELECT
msisdn,
eventTimestamp,
ARRAY_REMOVE(IFNULL(zoneIds, ARRAY[-1]), -1) AS zoneIds,
ARRAY_REMOVE(IFNULL(LAG(zoneIds, 1) OVER (PARTITION BY msisdn ORDER BY
ts_ranked), ARRAY[-1]), -1) AS prev_zoneIds,
ts
FROM ranked;
RANKED subselect:
msisdn eventTimestamp zoneIds
ts row_num ts_ranked
673944959 1739996380000 [1] 2025-02-19
21:19:40.000 1 1970-01-01 01:00:00.001
673944959 1739996380000 [1] 2025-02-19
21:19:40.000 2 1970-01-01 01:00:00.002
*But [ERROR] Could not execute SQL statement. Reason:*
*org.apache.flink.table.api.TableException: OVER windows' ordering in
stream mode must be defined on a time attribute. *
I guess just could use "ts" field because if it's the temporal field?
