Parametric Aggregate Functions

Some aggregate functions can accept not only argument columns (used for compression), but a set of parameters – constants for initialization. The syntax is two pairs of brackets instead of one. The first is for parameters, and the second is for arguments.

histogram

Calculates an adaptive histogram. It does not guarantee precise results.

histogram(number_of_bins)(values)

The functions uses A Streaming Parallel Decision Tree Algorithm. The borders of histogram bins are adjusted as new data enters a function. In common case, the widths of bins are not equal.

Arguments

values — Expression resulting in input values.

Parameters

number_of_bins — Upper limit for the number of bins in the histogram. The function automatically calculates the number of bins. It tries to reach the specified number of bins, but if it fails, it uses fewer bins.

Returned values

Array of Tuples of the following format:

  ```
  [(lower_1, upper_1, height_1), ... (lower_N, upper_N, height_N)]
  ```

  - `lower` — Lower bound of the bin.
  - `upper` — Upper bound of the bin.
  - `height` — Calculated height of the bin.

Example

SELECT histogram(5)(number + 1)
FROM (
    SELECT *
    FROM system.numbers
    LIMIT 20
)

┌─histogram(5)(plus(number, 1))───────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ [(1,4.5,4),(4.5,8.5,4),(8.5,12.75,4.125),(12.75,17,4.625),(17,20,3.25)] │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

You can visualize a histogram with the bar function, for example:

WITH histogram(5)(rand() % 100) AS hist
SELECT
    arrayJoin(hist).3 AS height,
    bar(height, 0, 6, 5) AS bar
FROM
(
    SELECT *
    FROM system.numbers
    LIMIT 20
)

┌─height─┬─bar───┐
│  2.125 │ █▋    │
│   3.25 │ ██▌   │
│  5.625 │ ████▏ │
│  5.625 │ ████▏ │
│  3.375 │ ██▌   │
└────────┴───────┘

In this case, you should remember that you do not know the histogram bin borders.

sequenceMatch

Checks whether the sequence contains an event chain that matches the pattern.

Syntax

sequenceMatch(pattern)(timestamp, cond1, cond2, ...)

:::note Events that occur at the same second may lay in the sequence in an undefined order affecting the result. :::

Arguments

timestamp — Column considered to contain time data. Typical data types are Date and DateTime. You can also use any of the supported UInt data types.
cond1, cond2 — Conditions that describe the chain of events. Data type: UInt8. You can pass up to 32 condition arguments. The function takes only the events described in these conditions into account. If the sequence contains data that isn’t described in a condition, the function skips them.

Parameters

pattern — Pattern string. See Pattern syntax.

Returned values

1, if the pattern is matched.
0, if the pattern isn’t matched.

Type: UInt8.

Pattern syntax

(?N) — Matches the condition argument at position N. Conditions are numbered in the [1, 32] range. For example, (?1) matches the argument passed to the cond1 parameter.
.* — Matches any number of events. You do not need conditional arguments to match this element of the pattern.
(?t operator value) — Sets the time in seconds that should separate two events. For example, pattern (?1)(?t>1800)(?2) matches events that occur more than 1800 seconds from each other. An arbitrary number of any events can lay between these events. You can use the >=, >, <, <=, == operators.

Examples

Consider data in the t table:

┌─time─┬─number─┐
│    1 │      1 │
│    2 │      3 │
│    3 │      2 │
└──────┴────────┘

Perform the query:

SELECT sequenceMatch('(?1)(?2)')(time, number = 1, number = 2) FROM t

┌─sequenceMatch('(?1)(?2)')(time, equals(number, 1), equals(number, 2))─┐
│                                                                     1 │
└───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

The function found the event chain where number 2 follows number 1. It skipped number 3 between them, because the number is not described as an event. If we want to take this number into account when searching for the event chain given in the example, we should make a condition for it.

SELECT sequenceMatch('(?1)(?2)')(time, number = 1, number = 2, number = 3) FROM t

┌─sequenceMatch('(?1)(?2)')(time, equals(number, 1), equals(number, 2), equals(number, 3))─┐
│                                                                                        0 │
└──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

In this case, the function couldn’t find the event chain matching the pattern, because the event for number 3 occurred between 1 and 2. If in the same case we checked the condition for number 4, the sequence would match the pattern.

SELECT sequenceMatch('(?1)(?2)')(time, number = 1, number = 2, number = 4) FROM t

┌─sequenceMatch('(?1)(?2)')(time, equals(number, 1), equals(number, 2), equals(number, 4))─┐
│                                                                                        1 │

sequenceCount

sequenceCount

Counts the number of event chains that matched the pattern. The function searches event chains that do not overlap. It starts to search for the next chain after the current chain is matched.

:::note Events that occur at the same second may lay in the sequence in an undefined order affecting the result. :::

Syntax

sequenceCount(pattern)(timestamp, cond1, cond2, ...)

Arguments

timestamp — Column considered to contain time data. Typical data types are Date and DateTime. You can also use any of the supported UInt data types.
cond1, cond2 — Conditions that describe the chain of events. Data type: UInt8. You can pass up to 32 condition arguments. The function takes only the events described in these conditions into account. If the sequence contains data that isn’t described in a condition, the function skips them.

Parameters

pattern — Pattern string. See Pattern syntax.

Returned values

Number of non-overlapping event chains that are matched.

Type: UInt64.

Example

Consider data in the t table:

┌─time─┬─number─┐
│    1 │      1 │
│    2 │      3 │
│    3 │      2 │
│    4 │      1 │
│    5 │      3 │
│    6 │      2 │
└──────┴────────┘

Count how many times the number 2 occurs after the number 1 with any amount of other numbers between them:

SELECT sequenceCount('(?1).*(?2)')(time, number = 1, number = 2) FROM t

┌─sequenceCount('(?1).*(?2)')(time, equals(number, 1), equals(number, 2))─┐
│                                                                       2 │

sequenceMatch

windowFunnel

Searches for event chains in a sliding time window and calculates the maximum number of events that occurred from the chain.

The function works according to the algorithm:

The function searches for data that triggers the first condition in the chain and sets the event counter to 1. This is the moment when the sliding window starts.
If events from the chain occur sequentially within the window, the counter is incremented. If the sequence of events is disrupted, the counter isn’t incremented.
If the data has multiple event chains at varying points of completion, the function will only output the size of the longest chain.

Syntax

windowFunnel(window, [mode, [mode, ... ]])(timestamp, cond1, cond2, ..., condN)

Arguments

timestamp — Name of the column containing the timestamp. Data types supported: Date, DateTime and other unsigned integer types (note that even though timestamp supports the UInt64 type, it’s value can’t exceed the Int64 maximum, which is 2^63 - 1).
cond — Conditions or data describing the chain of events. UInt8.

Parameters

window — Length of the sliding window, it is the time interval between the first and the last condition. The unit of window depends on the timestamp itself and varies. Determined using the expression timestamp of cond1 <= timestamp of cond2 <= ... <= timestamp of condN <= timestamp of cond1 + window.
mode — It is an optional argument. One or more modes can be set.
- 'strict_deduplication' — If the same condition holds for the sequence of events, then such repeating event interrupts further processing.
- 'strict_order' — Don't allow interventions of other events. E.g. in the case of A->B->D->C, it stops finding A->B->C at the D and the max event level is 2.
- 'strict_increase' — Apply conditions only to events with strictly increasing timestamps.

Returned value

The maximum number of consecutive triggered conditions from the chain within the sliding time window. All the chains in the selection are analyzed.

Type: Integer.

Example

Determine if a set period of time is enough for the user to select a phone and purchase it twice in the online store.

Set the following chain of events:

The user logged in to their account on the store (eventID = 1003).
The user searches for a phone (eventID = 1007, product = 'phone').
The user placed an order (eventID = 1009).
The user made the order again (eventID = 1010).

retention

The function takes as arguments a set of conditions from 1 to 32 arguments of type UInt8 that indicate whether a certain condition was met for the event. Any condition can be specified as an argument (as in WHERE).

The conditions, except the first, apply in pairs: the result of the second will be true if the first and second are true, of the third if the first and third are true, etc.

Syntax

retention(cond1, cond2, ..., cond32);

Arguments

cond — An expression that returns a UInt8 result (1 or 0).

Returned value

The array of 1 or 0.

1 — Condition was met for the event.
0 — Condition wasn’t met for the event.

Type: UInt8.

Example

Let’s consider an example of calculating the retention function to determine site traffic.

1. Create a table to illustrate an example.

CREATE TABLE retention_test(date Date, uid Int32) ENGINE = Memory;

INSERT INTO retention_test SELECT '2020-01-01', number FROM numbers(5);
INSERT INTO retention_test SELECT '2020-01-02', number FROM numbers(10);
INSERT INTO retention_test SELECT '2020-01-03', number FROM numbers(15);

2. Group users by unique ID uid using the retention function.

Query:

SELECT
    uid,
    retention(date = '2020-01-01', date = '2020-01-02', date = '2020-01-03') AS r
FROM retention_test
WHERE date IN ('2020-01-01', '2020-01-02', '2020-01-03')
GROUP BY uid

3. Calculate the total number of site visits per day.

Query:

SELECT
    sum(r[1]) AS r1,
    sum(r[2]) AS r2,
    sum(r[3]) AS r3
FROM
(
    SELECT
        uid,
        retention(date = '2020-01-01', date = '2020-01-02', date = '2020-01-03') AS r
    FROM retention_test
    WHERE date IN ('2020-01-01', '2020-01-02', '2020-01-03')
    GROUP BY uid
)

Result:

┌─r1─┬─r2─┬─r3─┐
│  5 │  5 │  5 │
└────┴────┴────┘

Where:

r1- the number of unique visitors who visited the site during 2020-01-01 (the cond1 condition).
r2- the number of unique visitors who visited the site during a specific time period between 2020-01-01 and 2020-01-02 (cond1 and cond2 conditions).
r3- the number of unique visitors who visited the site during a specific time period on 2020-01-01 and 2020-01-03 (cond1 and cond3 conditions).

uniqUpTo(N)(x)

Calculates the number of different values of the argument up to a specified limit, N. If the number of different argument values is greater than N, this function returns N + 1, otherwise it calculates the exact value.

Recommended for use with small Ns, up to 10. The maximum value of N is 100.

For the state of an aggregate function, this function uses the amount of memory equal to 1 + N * the size of one value of bytes. When dealing with strings, this function stores a non-cryptographic hash of 8 bytes; the calculation is approximated for strings.

For example, if you had a table that logs every search query made by users on your website. Each row in the table represents a single search query, with columns for the user ID, the search query, and the timestamp of the query. You can use uniqUpTo to generate a report that shows only the keywords that produced at least 5 unique users.

SELECT SearchPhrase
FROM SearchLog
GROUP BY SearchPhrase
HAVING uniqUpTo(4)(UserID) >= 5

uniqUpTo(4)(UserID) calculates the number of unique UserID values for each SearchPhrase, but it only counts up to 4 unique values. If there are more than 4 unique UserID values for a SearchPhrase, the function returns 5 (4 + 1). The HAVING clause then filters out the SearchPhrase values for which the number of unique UserID values is less than 5. This will give you a list of search keywords that were used by at least 5 unique users.

sumMapFiltered

This function behaves the same as sumMap except that it also accepts an array of keys to filter with as a parameter. This can be especially useful when working with a high cardinality of keys.

Syntax

sumMapFiltered(keys_to_keep)(keys, values)

Parameters

keys_to_keep: Array of keys to filter with.
keys: Array of keys.
values: Array of values.

Returned Value

Returns a tuple of two arrays: keys in sorted order, and values summed for the corresponding keys.

Example

Query:

CREATE TABLE sum_map
(
    `date` Date,
    `timeslot` DateTime,
    `statusMap` Nested(status UInt16, requests UInt64)
)
ENGINE = Log

INSERT INTO sum_map VALUES 
    ('2000-01-01', '2000-01-01 00:00:00', [1, 2, 3], [10, 10, 10]), 
    ('2000-01-01', '2000-01-01 00:00:00', [3, 4, 5], [10, 10, 10]),
    ('2000-01-01', '2000-01-01 00:01:00', [4, 5, 6], [10, 10, 10]), 
    ('2000-01-01', '2000-01-01 00:01:00', [6, 7, 8], [10, 10, 10]);

SELECT sumMapFiltered([1, 4, 8])(statusMap.status, statusMap.requests) FROM sum_map;

Result:

   ┌─sumMapFiltered([1, 4, 8])(statusMap.status, statusMap.requests)─┐
1. │ ([1,4,8],[10,20,10])                                            │
   └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

sumMapFilteredWithOverflow

This function behaves the same as sumMap except that it also accepts an array of keys to filter with as a parameter. This can be especially useful when working with a high cardinality of keys. It differs from the sumMapFiltered function in that it does summation with overflow - i.e. returns the same data type for the summation as the argument data type.

Syntax

sumMapFilteredWithOverflow(keys_to_keep)(keys, values)

Parameters

keys_to_keep: Array of keys to filter with.
keys: Array of keys.
values: Array of values.

Returned Value

Returns a tuple of two arrays: keys in sorted order, and values summed for the corresponding keys.

Example

In this example we create a table sum_map, insert some data into it and then use both sumMapFilteredWithOverflow and sumMapFiltered and the toTypeName function for comparison of the result. Where requests was of type UInt8 in the created table, sumMapFiltered has promoted the type of the summed values to UInt64 to avoid overflow whereas sumMapFilteredWithOverflow has kept the type as UInt8 which is not large enough to store the result - i.e. overflow has occurred.

Query:

CREATE TABLE sum_map
(
    `date` Date,
    `timeslot` DateTime,
    `statusMap` Nested(status UInt8, requests UInt8)
)
ENGINE = Log

INSERT INTO sum_map VALUES 
    ('2000-01-01', '2000-01-01 00:00:00', [1, 2, 3], [10, 10, 10]), 
    ('2000-01-01', '2000-01-01 00:00:00', [3, 4, 5], [10, 10, 10]),
    ('2000-01-01', '2000-01-01 00:01:00', [4, 5, 6], [10, 10, 10]), 
    ('2000-01-01', '2000-01-01 00:01:00', [6, 7, 8], [10, 10, 10]);

SELECT sumMapFilteredWithOverflow([1, 4, 8])(statusMap.status, statusMap.requests) as summap_overflow, toTypeName(summap_overflow) FROM sum_map;

SELECT sumMapFiltered([1, 4, 8])(statusMap.status, statusMap.requests) as summap, toTypeName(summap) FROM sum_map;

Result:

   ┌─sum──────────────────┬─toTypeName(sum)───────────────────┐
