Lookup UDF Join
Lookup UDF is used to get dimension data via primary key from a dimension table allowing a decoration join functionality. Lookup UDF can only be used with a dimension table in Pinot. The UDF signature is as below:
lookUp('dimTableName', 'dimColToLookUp', 'dimJoinKey1', factJoinKeyVal1, 'dimJoinKey2', factJoinKeyVal2 ... )
  • dimTableName Name of the dim table to perform the lookup on.
  • dimColToLookUp The column name of the dim table to be retrieved to decorate our result.
  • dimJoinKey The column name on which we want to perform the lookup i.e. the join column name for dim table.
  • factJoinKeyVal The value of the dim table join column for which we will retrieve the dimColToLookUp for the scope and invocation.
Return type of the UDF will be that of the dimColToLookUp column type. There can also be multiple primary keys and corresponding values.
Note: If the dimension table uses a composite primary key i.e multiple primary keys, then ensure that the order of keys appearing in the lookup() UDF is same as the order defined for "primaryKeyColumns" in the dimension table schema.
