Lateral View语法

语法

lateralView: LATERAL VIEW udtf(expression) tableAlias AS columnAlias (',' columnAlias)*  

数据准备

假设我们有一张表pageAds，它有两列数据，第一列是pageid string，第二列是adid_list，即用逗号分隔的广告ID集合。

mahao@ubuntu:~$ cat pageAds.txt 
"front_page"    1,2,3
"contact_page"  3,4,5


hive> CREATE TABLE pageAds(pageid STRING,adid_list Array<INT>) ROW FORMAT DELIMITED FIELDS TERMINATED BY '\t' COLLECTION ITEMS TERMINATED BY ',';
OK
Time taken: 3.458 seconds
hive> LOAD DATA LOCAL INPATH 'pageAds.txt' INTO TABLE pageAds;
Loading data to table default.pageads
OK
Time taken: 1.377 seconds
hive> SELECT * FROM pageAds;
OK
"front_page"    [1,2,3]
"contact_page"  [3,4,5]
Time taken: 2.127 seconds, Fetched: 2 row(s)
hive> 

统计所有广告ID出现的次数。

首先要拆分广告ID，explode()指出要拆分的行，AS子句指出拆分后的列名：

hive> SELECT pageid,adid FROM pageAds LATERAL VIEW explode(adid_list) adTable AS adid;
OK
"front_page"    1
"front_page"    2
"front_page"    3
"contact_page"  3
"contact_page"  4
"contact_page"  5

按照adid分组，进行统计：

hive>SELECT adid,count(1) FROM pageAds LATERAL VIEW explode(adid_list) adTable AS adid GROUP BY adid;
OK
1   1
2   1
3   2
4   1
5   1

多个lateral view语句

一个FROM语句后可以跟多个lateral view语句，后面的lateral view语句可以引用它前面的所有表和列名，例子如下：

表的数据：

hive> select * from baseTable;
OK
[1,2]   ["'a'","'b'","'c'"]
[3,4]   ["'d'","'e'","'f'"]

两个lateral view语句：

hive> select mycol1,col2 from baseTable lateral view explode(col1) tb1 as mycol1
    > lateral view explode(col2) tb2 as mycol2;
OK
1   ["'a'","'b'","'c'"]
1   ["'a'","'b'","'c'"]
1   ["'a'","'b'","'c'"]
2   ["'a'","'b'","'c'"]
2   ["'a'","'b'","'c'"]
2   ["'a'","'b'","'c'"]
3   ["'d'","'e'","'f'"]
3   ["'d'","'e'","'f'"]
3   ["'d'","'e'","'f'"]
4   ["'d'","'e'","'f'"]
4   ["'d'","'e'","'f'"]
4   ["'d'","'e'","'f'"]

注意上面语句中，两个lateral view按照出现的次序被执行。
