Aggregate functions return a single result for a group of rows.
Aggregate functions return a single result for a group of rows. The following table shows supported aggregate functions in Pinot.
Function | Description | Example | Default Value When No Record Selected |
---|---|---|---|
Deprecated functions:
The following aggregation functions can be used for multi-value columns
Pinot supports FILTER clause in aggregation queries as follows:
In the query above, COL1
is aggregated only for rows where COL2 > 300 and COL3 > 50
. Similarly, COL2
is aggregated where COL2 < 50 and COL3 > 50
.
With NULL Value Support enabled, this allows to filter out the null values while performing aggregation as follows:
In the above query, COL1
is aggregated only for the non-null values. Without NULL value support, we would have to filter using the default null value.
NOTE: TheFILTER
clause is currently supported for aggregation-only queries, i.e., GROUP BY
is not supported.

0.0
Returns the average of the values for a numeric column as Double
AVG(playerScore)
Double.NEGATIVE_INFINITY
Returns the most frequent value of a numeric column as Double
. When multiple modes are present it gives the minimum of all the modes. This behavior can be overridden to get the maximum or the average mode.

MODE(playerScore, 'MAX')
MODE(playerScore, 'AVG')
Double.NEGATIVE_INFINITY
Returns the max - min
value for a numeric column as Double

PERCENTILETDIGEST(playerScore, 99.9, 500)
Double.NaN
PERCENTILESMARTTDIGEST
Returns the Nth percentile of the values for a numeric column as Double
. When there are too many values, automatically switch to approximate percentile using TDigest. The switch threshold
(100_000 by default) and compression
(100 by default) for the TDigest can be configured via the optional second argument.
PERCENTILESMARTTDIGEST(playerScore, 50)
PERCENTILESMARTTDIGEST(playerScore, 99.9, 'threshold=100;compression=50)
Double.NEGATIVE_INFINITY
Returns the count of distinct values of a column as Integer
DISTINCTCOUNT(playerName)
0
Returns the count of distinct values of a column as Integer
. This function is accurate for INT column, but approximate for other cases where hash codes are used in distinct counting and there may be hash collisions.
DISTINCTCOUNTBITMAP(playerName)
0
Returns an approximate distinct count using HyperLogLog as Long
. It also takes an optional second argument to configure the log2m
for the HyperLogLog.
DISTINCTCOUNTHLL(playerName, 12)
0
Returns HyperLogLog response serialized as String
. The serialized HLL can be converted back into an HLL and then aggregated with other HLLs. A common use case may be to merge HLL responses from different Pinot tables, or to allow aggregation after client-side batching.
DISTINCTCOUNTRAWHLL(playerName)
0
DISTINCTCOUNTSMARTHLL
Returns the count of distinct values of a column as Integer
. When there are too many distinct values, automatically switch to approximate distinct count using HyperLogLog. The switch threshold
(100_000 by default) and log2m
(12 by default) for the HyperLogLog can be configured via the optional second argument.
DISTINCTCOUNTSMARTHLL(playerName),
DISTINCTCOUNTSMARTHLL(playerName, 'threshold=100;log2m=8')
0
0
0
Returns the count of distinct values of a column as Long
when the column is pre-partitioned for each segment, where there is no common value within different segments. This function calculates the exact count of distinct values within the segment, then simply sums up the results from different segments to get the final result.
