--------------------------------------
Hi [~shawkins] an approximate count distinct isn't going to work for us as our
reporting requires exact results.
I see what you mean about nulls in the on clause, though.
One solution could be to use NVL around the join column. However, you'd need to be
aware of data types.
if c1 is a string you could use: nvl(v1.c1,'') = nvl(v2.c1,'')
if c1 is a number you could use: nvl(v1.c1,0) = nvl(v2.c1,0)
You still get the correct null value in the results, but the join is handled.
Impala Translator - Support Multiple Count Distinct with Group By
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Key: TEIID-4227
URL:
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/TEIID-4227
Project: Teiid
Issue Type: Feature Request
Components: Misc. Connectors
Affects Versions: 8.13.3
Reporter: Scott Wallace
Assignee: Steven Hawkins
This is somewhat related to TEIID-3743, which added support of multiple count distinct
metrics. We have a requirement to allow multiple count distinct metrics grouped by common
attributes.
Currently, we get a failure as follows:
{noformat}org.teiid.runtime.client.TeiidClientException: java.lang.RuntimeException:
Remote org.teiid.core.TeiidProcessingException: TEIID30504
vw_impression_click_transaction_process_date_detail: 500051 TEIID11008:TEIID11004 Error
executing statement(s): [Prepared Values: [] SQL: SELECT g_0.process_date_key,
SUM(g_0.num_clicks), SUM(g_0.num_impressions), COUNT(DISTINCT g_0.orderid), COUNT(DISTINCT
g_0.`hash_tid`), SUM(g_0.sales) FROM
detail.vw_impression_click_transaction_process_date_detail g_0 WHERE g_0.process_date_key
>= '2016-05-22' AND g_0.process_date_key < '2016-05-23' AND
g_0.advertiser_key = 12345 GROUP BY g_0.process_date_key]

To allow this request to succeed, we could have translator write that Impala query as:
{noformat}
select nvl(v1.c1,v2.c1), nvl(v1.c2,v1.c2), nvl(v1.c3,v1.c3), v1.c4, v2.c5,
nvl(v1.c6,v1.c6) from (
SELECT g_0.process_date_key as c1,
SUM(g_0.num_clicks) as c2,
SUM(g_0.num_impressions) as c3,
COUNT(DISTINCT g_0.orderid) as c4,
SUM(g_0.sales) as c6
FROM detail.vw_impression_click_transaction_process_date_detail g_0
WHERE g_0.process_date_key >= '2016-05-22'
AND g_0.process_date_key < '2016-05-23'
AND g_0.advertiser_key = 12345
GROUP BY g_0.process_date_key
) v1 inner join
(
SELECT g_0.process_date_key as c1,
SUM(g_0.num_clicks) as c2,
SUM(g_0.num_impressions) as c3,
COUNT(DISTINCT g_0.`hash_tid`) as c5,
SUM(g_0.sales) as c6
FROM detail.vw_impression_click_transaction_process_date_detail g_0
WHERE g_0.process_date_key >= '2016-05-22'
AND g_0.process_date_key < '2016-05-23'
AND g_0.advertiser_key = 12345
GROUP BY g_0.process_date_key
) v2 on v1.c1 = v2.c1;
