How to transpose pivot data in hive

+2 votes

This is the table I have:

 | ID   |   Code   |  Proc1   |   Proc2 | 
 | 1    |    A     |   p      |   e     | 
 | 2    |    B     |   q      |   f     |
 | 3    |    B     |   p      |   f     |
 | 3    |    B     |   q      |   h     |
 | 3    |    B     |   r      |   j     |
 | 3    |    C     |   t      |   k     |

Here Proc1 can have any number of values. ID, Code & Proc1 together form a unique key for this table. I want to Pivot/ transpose this table so that each unique value in Proc1 becomes a new column, and corresponding value from Proc2 is the value in that column for the corresponding row. In essense, I'm trying to get something like:

 | ID   |   Code   |  p   |   q |  r  |   t |
 | 1    |    A     |   e  |     |     |     |
 | 2    |    B     |      |   f |     |     |
 | 3    |    B     |   f  |   h |  j  |     |
 | 3    |    C     |      |     |     |  k  |

In the new transformed table, ID and code are the only primary key. From the ticket I mentioned above, I could get this far using the to_map UDAF. (Disclaimer - this may not be a step in the right direction, but just mentioning here, if it is)

 | ID   |   Code   |  Map_Aggregation   | 
 | 1    |    A     |   {p:e}            |
 | 2    |    B     |   {q:f}            |
 | 3    |    B     |   {p:f, q:h, r:j } |  
 | 3    |    C     |   {t:k}            |

But don't know how to get from this step to the pivot/transposed table I want. Any help on how to proceed?

Here is the approach i used to solved this problem using hive's internal UDF function, "map":

select
    b.id,
    b.code,
    concat_ws('',b.p) as p,
    concat_ws('',b.q) as q,
    concat_ws('',b.r) as r,
    concat_ws('',b.t) as t
from 
    (
        select id, code,
        collect_list(a.group_map['p']) as p,
        collect_list(a.group_map['q']) as q,
        collect_list(a.group_map['r']) as r,
        collect_list(a.group_map['t']) as t
        from (
            select
              id,
              code,
              map(proc1,proc2) as group_map 
            from 
              test_sample
        ) a
        group by
            a.id,
            a.code
    ) b;

"concat_ws" and "map" are hive udf and "collect_list" is a hive udaf.

Here is the solution I ended up using:

add jar brickhouse-0.7.0-SNAPSHOT.jar;
CREATE TEMPORARY FUNCTION collect AS 'brickhouse.udf.collect.CollectUDAF';

select 
    id, 
    code,
    group_map['p'] as p,
    group_map['q'] as q,
    group_map['r'] as r,
    group_map['t'] as t
    from ( select
        id, code,
        collect(proc1,proc2) as group_map 
        from test_sample 
        group by id, code
    ) gm;

The to_map UDF was used from the brickhouse repo: https://github.com/klout/brickhouse

Yet another solution.

Pivot using Hivemall to_map function.

SELECT
  uid,
  kv['c1'] AS c1,
  kv['c2'] AS c2,
  kv['c3'] AS c3
FROM (
  SELECT uid, to_map(key, value) kv
  FROM vtable
  GROUP BY uid
) t

uid c1 c2 c3 101 11 12 13 102 21 22 23

Unpivot

SELECT t1.uid, t2.key, t2.value
FROM htable t1
LATERAL VIEW explode (map(
  'c1', c1,
  'c2', c2,
  'c3', c3
)) t2 as key, value

uid key value 101 c1 11 101 c2 12 101 c3 13 102 c1 21 102 c2 22 102 c3 23

For Unpivot, we can simply use below logic.

SELECT Cost.Code, Cost.Product, Cost.Size
, Cost.State_code, Cost.Promo_date, Cost.Cost, Sales.Price
FROM
(Select Code, Product, Size, State_code, Promo_date, Price as Cost
FROM Product
Where Description = 'Cost') Cost
JOIN
(Select Code, Product, Size, State_code, Promo_date, Price as Price
FROM Product
Where Description = 'Sales') Sales
on (Cost.Code = Sales.Code
and Cost.Promo_date = Sales.Promo_date);

Below is also a way for Pivot

SELECT TM1_Code, Product, Size, State_code, Description
  , Promo_date
  , Price
FROM (
SELECT TM1_Code, Product, Size, State_code, Description
   , MAP('FY2018Jan', FY2018Jan, 'FY2018Feb', FY2018Feb, 'FY2018Mar', FY2018Mar, 'FY2018Apr', FY2018Apr
        ,'FY2018May', FY2018May, 'FY2018Jun', FY2018Jun, 'FY2018Jul', FY2018Jul, 'FY2018Aug', FY2018Aug
        ,'FY2018Sep', FY2018Sep, 'FY2018Oct', FY2018Oct, 'FY2018Nov', FY2018Nov, 'FY2018Dec', FY2018Dec) AS tmp_column
FROM CS_ME_Spirits_30012018) TmpTbl
LATERAL VIEW EXPLODE(tmp_column) exptbl AS Promo_date, Price;
