在处理流水增量表的时候,出现了一个判定的失误。
select a.a1,a.a2 from ( select a.a1 ,if(a.a2<>b.b2,1,0) as diff ,a.a2 from a lefter join b on a.a1=b.b1 ) c where c.diff=1;
因为左外关联,可能会出现b表数据不存在 则b.b2 is null , if(a.a2<>b.b2,1,0) as diff,null值的判断只能使用is ,is not
0: jdbc:hive2://localhost:10000/big12> select if(1 <>null,0,1); +------+--+ | _c0 | +------+--+ | 1 | +------+--+ 1 row selected (0.13 seconds) 0: jdbc:hive2://localhost:10000/big12> select 1<>null; +-------+--+ | _c0 | +-------+--+ | NULL | +-------+--+ 1 row selected (0.127 seconds)
所以处理方式:
0: jdbc:hive2://localhost:10000/big12> select if(1<>null or null is null,1,0) as diff; +-------+--+ | diff | +-------+--+ | 1 | +-------+--+ 1 row selected (0.121 seconds) 0: jdbc:hive2://localhost:10000/big12> select if(1<>nvl(null,0),1,0) as diff; +-------+--+ | diff | +-------+--+ | 1 | +-------+--+ 1 row selected (0.13 seconds)
其他:
employee表
hive>desc employee; empid string deptid string salary string
查询employee
hive>select * from employee 1 NULL NULL
hive 中null实际在HDFS中默认存储为'N'(但是我们一般为了安全性把null的储存格式调整为'')
即employee中的数据在HDFS中为
1 N N
验证,插入'N'
hive>insert into table employee select '2','\N','\N' from employee limit 1;
其中多一个斜杠是转义的作用
查询employee
hive>select * from employee 1 NULL NULL 2 NULL NULL
此时hive中与null有关的函数,如nvl,coalesce,is null等判断是否为null是为true
hive>select nvl(empid,'A'),nvl(deptid,'B'),nvl(salary,'C') from employee 1 B C 2 B C
但是null或NULL和''会被hive当做字符串处理。
hive>insert into table employee select '3','','' from employee limit 1;
查询:
hive>select * from employee; 1 NULL NULL 2 NULL NULL 3
hive>insert into table employee select '4','null','NULL' from employee limit 1;
查询
hive>select * from employee; 1 NULL NULL 2 NULL NULL 3 4 null NULL
注意:1,2同一行的NULL与4行的NULL或null不一样。4行的NULL或null为字符串
此时hive中与null有关的函数,如nvl,coalesce,is null等判断''和null(字符串)或NULL(字符串)是否为null是为false
hive> select empid ,nvl(deptid,'E'),nvl(salary,'F') from employee; 1 E F 2 E F 3 4 null NULL
hive>select * from employee where deptid=''; 3 hive>select * from employee where deptid='null' and salary ='NULL'; 4 null NULL hive>select * from employee where deptid is null; 1 NULL NULL 2 NULL NULL
可以通过
ALTER TABLE table_name SET SERDEPROPERTIES('serialization.null.format' = 定义描述符);
修改空值描述符
如果将''定义为NULL
ALTER TABLE employee SET SERDEPROPERTIES('serialization.null.format' = '');
查询employee
hive>select * from employee; 1 N N 2 N N 3 NULL NULL 4 null NULL
和前面的select比较发现''变成了NULL,而N露出了真面目,4行的NULL或null为字符串没变化
验证,将''插入到emloyee
hive> insert into table employee select '5','','' from employee limit 1;
查询
hive>select * from employee; 1 N N 2 N N 3 NULL NULL 4 null NULL 5 NULL NULL
注意:3,5同一行的NULL与4行的NULL或null不一样。4行的NULL或null为字符串
此时HDFS中如此存储
1 N N 2 N N 3 4 null NULL 5
此时
hive> select empid ,nvl(deptid,'E'),nvl(salary,'F') from employee; 1 N N 2 N N 3 E F 4 null NULL 5 E F
总结hive中null的定义的意义在于:oracle数据导出后原表中的null会变成'',然后导入到hive中也变成了''。但是hive中关于NULL的一些函数如nvl,coalesce和is null却无法使用,因为hive默认N才代表NULL。在hive中通过
ALTER TABLE SET SERDEPROPERTIES('serialization.null.format' = '');修改''代表NULL,改造存储过程中就不需要改nvl等语句。
