Converts the argument from binary to a base64 string.

Source code

string

concat(string|binary A, string|binary B...)

Returns the string or bytes resulting from concatenating the strings or bytes passed in as parameters in order. For example, concat('foo', 'bar') results in 'foobar'. Note that this function can take any number of input strings.

Source code

array<struct<string,double>>

context_ngrams(array<array<string>>, array<string>, int K, int pf)

Returns the top-k contextual N-grams from a set of tokenized sentences, given a string of "context". See StatisticsAndDataMining for more information.

Source code

string

concat_ws(string SEP, string A, string B...)

Like concat() above, but with custom separator SEP.

Source code

string

concat_ws(string SEP, array<string>)

Like concat_ws() above, but taking an array of strings.

string

decode(binary bin, string charset)

Decodes the first argument into a String using the provided character set (one of 'US-ASCII', 'ISO-8859-1', 'UTF-8', 'UTF-16BE', 'UTF-16LE', 'UTF-16'). If either argument is null, the result will also be null.

Source code

Return string at index number. For example elt(2,'hello','world') returns 'world'. Returns NULL if N is less than 1 or greater than the number of arguments.

Source code

binary

encode(string src, string charset)

Encodes the first argument into a BINARY using the provided character set (one of 'US-ASCII', 'ISO-8859-1', 'UTF-8', 'UTF-16BE', 'UTF-16LE', 'UTF-16'). If either argument is null, the result will also be null. 

Source code

Returns the index of val in the val1,val2,val3,... list or 0 if not found. For example field('world','say','hello','world') returns 3.
All primitive types are supported, arguments are compared using str.equals(x). If val is NULL, the return value is 0.

Source code

int

find_in_set(string str, string strList)

Returns the first occurance of str in strList where strList is a comma-delimited string. Returns null if either argument is null. Returns 0 if the first argument contains any commas. For example, find_in_set('ab', 'abc,b,ab,c,def') returns 3.

Source code

string

format_number(number x, int d)

Formats the number X to a format like '#,###,###.##', rounded to D decimal places, and returns the result as a string. If D is 0, the result has no decimal point or fractional part.

Source code

string

get_json_object(string json_string, string path)

boolean

in_file(string str, string filename)

Returns true if the string str appears as an entire line in filename.

Source code

int

instr(string str, string substr)

Returns the position of the first occurrence of substr in str. Returns null if either of the arguments are null and returns 0 if substr could not be found in str. Be aware that this is not zero-based. The first character in str has index 1.

Source code

int

length(string A)

Returns the length of the string.

Source code

int

locate(string substr, string str[, int pos])

Returns the position of the first occurrence of substr in str after position pos.

Source code

string

lower(string A) lcase(string A)

Returns the string resulting from converting all characters of B to lower case. For example, lower('fOoBaR') results in 'foobar'.

Source code

string

lpad(string str, int len, string pad)

Returns str, left-padded with pad to a length of len. If str is longer than len, the return value is shortened to len characters. In case of empty pad string, the return value is null.

Source code

string

ltrim(string A)

Returns the string resulting from trimming spaces from the beginning(left hand side) of A. For example, ltrim(' foobar ') results in 'foobar '.

Source code

array<struct<string,double>>

ngrams(array<array<string>>, int N, int K, int pf)

Returns the top-k N-grams from a set of tokenized sentences, such as those returned by the sentences() UDAF. See StatisticsAndDataMining for more information.

Source code

string

parse_url(string urlString, string partToExtract [, string keyToExtract])

Returns the specified part from the URL. Valid values for partToExtract include HOST, PATH, QUERY, REF, PROTOCOL, AUTHORITY, FILE, and USERINFO. For example, parse_url('http://facebook.com/path1/p.php?k1=v1&k2=v2#Ref1', 'HOST') returns 'facebook.com'. Also, a value of a particular key in QUERY can be extracted by providing the key as the third argument, for example, parse_url('http://facebook.com/path1/p.php?k1=v1&k2=v2#Ref1', 'QUERY', 'k1') returns 'v1'.

Source code

string

printf(String format, Obj... args)

Returns the input formatted according to printf-style format strings.

Source code

string

regexp_extract(string subject, string pattern, int index)

Returns the string extracted using the pattern. For example, regexp_extract('foothebar', 'foo(.*?)(bar)', 2) returns 'bar.' Note that some care is necessary in using predefined character classes: using '\s' as the second argument will match the letter s; '\\s' is necessary to match whitespace, etc. The 'index' parameter is the Java regex Matcher group() method index. 

Source code

string

regexp_replace(string INITIAL_STRING, string PATTERN, string REPLACEMENT)

Returns the string resulting from replacing all substrings in INITIAL_STRING that match the java regular expression syntax defined in PATTERN with instances of REPLACEMENT. For example, regexp_replace("foobar", "oo|ar", "") returns 'fb.' Note that some care is necessary in using predefined character classes: using '\s' as the second argument will match the letter s; '\\s' is necessary to match whitespace, etc.

Source code

string

reverse(string A)

Returns the reversed string.

Source code

string

rpad(string str, int len, string pad)

Returns str, right-padded with pad to a length of len. If str is longer than len, the return value is shortened to len characters. In case of empty pad string, the return value is null.

Source code

string

rtrim(string A)

Returns the string resulting from trimming spaces from the end(right hand side) of A. For example, rtrim(' foobar ') results in ' foobar'.

Source code

array<array<string>>

sentences(string str, string lang, string locale)

Tokenizes a string of natural language text into words and sentences, where each sentence is broken at the appropriate sentence boundary and returned as an array of words. The 'lang' and 'locale' are optional arguments. For example, sentences('Hello there! How are you?') returns ( ("Hello", "there"), ("How", "are", "you") ).

Source code

string

space(int n)

Returns a string of n spaces.

Splits str around pat (pat is a regular expression).

Source code

map<string,string>

str_to_map(text[, delimiter1, delimiter2])

Splits text into key-value pairs using two delimiters. Delimiter1 separates text into K-V pairs, and Delimiter2 splits each K-V pair. Default delimiters are ',' for delimiter1 and ':' for delimiter2.

Source code

string

substr(string|binary A, int start) substring(string|binary A, int start)

Returns the substring or slice of the byte array of A starting from start position till the end of string A. For example, substr('foobar', 4) results in 'bar'.

Source code

string

substr(string|binary A, int start, int len) substring(string|binary A, int start, int len)

Returns the substring or slice of the byte array of A starting from start position with length len. For example, substr('foobar', 4, 1) results in 'b'.

string

translate(string|char|varchar input, string|char|varchar from, string|char|varchar to)

Translates the input string by replacing the characters present in the from string with the corresponding characters in the to string. This is similar to the translate function in PostgreSQL. If any of the parameters to this UDF are NULL, the result is NULL as well. 

Source code

string

trim(string A)

Returns the string resulting from trimming spaces from both ends of A. For example, trim(' foobar ') results in 'foobar'
