Hive扫盲之Lateral View之列为空时候该行元素消失

采坑：当lateral view explode(arr) 时候，如果arr为一个空集合则会导致行元素丢失，因此需要进行特出处理

其实也不算坑吧，怪自己不了解而已。有时间完善下面文档阅读笔记。

Lateral ViewJ结合UDTF函数使用，USER DEFINE TABLE FUNCTION.

UDTF: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/LanguageManual+UDF#LanguageManualUDF-Built-inTable-GeneratingFunctions(UDTF)

 

Built-in Table-Generating Functions (UDTF)

Normal user-defined functions, such as concat(), take in a single input row and output a single output row. In contrast, table-generating functions transform a single input row to multiple output rows.

通常UDF函数，例如concat函数都是输入一行输出一行；相反，UDTF函数会将一行转为多行。具体函数如下：

Row-set columns types	Name(Signature)	Description
T	explode(ARRAY<T> a)	Explodes an array to multiple rows. Returns a row-set with a single column (col), one row for each element from the array.
Tkey,Tvalue	explode(MAP<Tkey,Tvalue> m)	Explodes a map to multiple rows. Returns a row-set with a two columns (key,value) , one row for each key-value pair from the input map. (As of Hive 0.8.0.).
int,T	posexplode(ARRAY<T> a)	Explodes an array to multiple rows with additional positional column of int type (position of items in the original array, starting with 0). Returns a row-set with two columns (pos,val), one row for each element from the array.
T1,...,Tn	inline(ARRAY<STRUCT<f1:T1,...,fn:Tn>> a)	Explodes an array of structs to multiple rows. Returns a row-set with N columns (N = number of top level elements in the struct), one row per struct from the array. (As of Hive 0.10.)
T1,...,Tn/r	stack(int r,T1 V1,...,Tn/r Vn)	Breaks up n values V1,...,Vn into r rows. Each row will have n/r columns. r must be constant.
string1,...,stringn	json_tuple(string jsonStr,string k1,...,string kn)	Takes JSON string and a set of n keys, and returns a tuple of n values. This is a more efficient version of the get_json_object UDF because it can get multiple keys with just one call.
string 1,...,stringn	parse_url_tuple(string urlStr,string p1,...,string pn)	Takes URL string and a set of n URL parts, and returns a tuple of n values. This is similar to the parse_url() UDF but can extract multiple parts at once out of a URL. Valid part names are: HOST, PATH, QUERY, REF, PROTOCOL, AUTHORITY, FILE, USERINFO, QUERY:<KEY>.
