Relational Data - Aggregate Functions - Reference - Topkweighted

From FojiSoft Docs

Returns an array of the approximately most frequent values in the specified column. The resulting array is sorted in descending order of approximate frequency of values (not by the values themselves). Additionally, the weight of the value is taken into account.

Syntax

topKWeighted(N)(column, weight)
topKWeighted(N, load_factor)(column, weight)
topKWeighted(N, load_factor, 'counts')(column, weight)

Parameters

  • N — The number of elements to return. Optional. Default value: 10.
  • load_factor — Defines, how many cells reserved for values. If uniq(column) > N * load_factor, result of topK function will be approximate. Optional. Default value: 3.
  • counts — Defines, should result contain approximate count and error value.

Arguments

  • column — The value.
  • weight — The weight. Every value is accounted weight times for frequency calculation. UInt64.

Returned value

Returns an array of the values with maximum approximate sum of weights.

Example

Query:

SELECT topKWeighted(2)(k, w) FROM
VALUES('k Char, w UInt64', ('y', 1), ('y', 1), ('x', 5), ('y', 1), ('z', 10))

Result:

┌─topKWeighted(2)(k, w)──┐
│ ['z','x']              │
└────────────────────────┘

Query:

SELECT topKWeighted(2, 10, 'counts')(k, w)
FROM VALUES('k Char, w UInt64', ('y', 1), ('y', 1), ('x', 5), ('y', 1), ('z', 10))

Result:

┌─topKWeighted(2, 10, 'counts')(k, w)─┐
│ [('z',10,0),('x',5,0)]              │
└─────────────────────────────────────┘
