Class GenericUDAFPercentileApprox

java.lang.Object

org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.udf.generic.AbstractGenericUDAFResolver

org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.udf.generic.GenericUDAFPercentileApprox

All Implemented Interfaces:

GenericUDAFResolver, GenericUDAFResolver2

public class GenericUDAFPercentileApprox
extends AbstractGenericUDAFResolver

Computes an approximate percentile (quantile) from an approximate histogram, for very large numbers of rows where the regular percentile() UDAF might run out of memory. The input is a single double value or an array of double values representing the quantiles requested. The output, corresponding to the input, is either an single double value or an array of doubles that are the quantile values.

public GenericUDAFEvaluator getEvaluator(GenericUDAFParameterInfo info)
                                  throws SemanticException

Description copied from interface: GenericUDAFResolver2

Get the evaluator for the parameter types. The reason that this function returns an object instead of a class is because it is possible that the object needs some configuration (that can be serialized). In that case the class of the object has to implement the Serializable interface. At execution time, we will deserialize the object from the plan and use it to evaluate the aggregations.

If the class of the object does not implement Serializable, then we will create a new instance of the class at execution time.

Specified by:

getEvaluator in interface GenericUDAFResolver2

Overrides:

getEvaluator in class AbstractGenericUDAFResolver

Parameters:

info - The parameter information that is applicable to the UDAF being invoked.

Throws:

SemanticException
