Class: GPUdb

GPUdb(url, optionsopt)

GPUdb API object that provides access to GPUdb server functions.

Constructor

new GPUdb(url, optionsopt)

Creates a GPUdb API object for the specified URL using the given options. Once created, all options are immutable; to use a different URL or change options, create a new instance. (Creating a new instance does not communicate with the server and should not cause performance concerns.)
Parameters:
Name Type Attributes Description
url String | Array.<String> The URL of the GPUdb server (e.g., http://hostname:9191). May also be specified as a list of urls; all urls in the list must be well formed.
options Object <optional>
 A set of configurable options for the GPUdb API.
Properties
Name Type Attributes Description
username String <optional>
 The username to be used for authentication to GPUdb. This username will be sent with every GPUdb request made via the API along with the specified password and may be used for authorization decisions by the server if it is so configured. If neither username nor password is specified, no authentication will be performed.
password String <optional>
 The password to be used for authentication to GPUdb. This password will be sent with every GPUdb request made via the API along with the specified username and may be used for authorization decisions by the server if it is so configured. If neither username nor password is specified, no authentication will be performed.
timeout Number <optional>
 The timeout value, in milliseconds, after which requests to GPUdb will be aborted. A timeout value of zero is interpreted as an infinite timeout. Note that timeout is not suppored for synchronous requests, which will not return until a response is received and cannot be aborted.

aggregate_group_by(table_name, column_names, offset, limit, options, callback) → {Object}

Calculates unique combinations (groups) of values for the given columns in a given table/view/collection and computes aggregates on each unique combination. This is somewhat analogous to an SQL-style SELECT...GROUP BY.

For aggregation details and examples, see Aggregation. For limitations, see Aggregation Limitations.

Any column(s) can be grouped on, and all column types except unrestricted-length strings may be used for computing applicable aggregates; columns marked as store-only are unable to be used in grouping or aggregation.

The results can be paged via the offset and limit parameters. For example, to get 10 groups with the largest counts the inputs would be: limit=10, options={"sort_order":"descending", "sort_by":"value"}.

options can be used to customize behavior of this call e.g. filtering or sorting the results.

To group by columns 'x' and 'y' and compute the number of objects within each group, use: column_names=['x','y','count(*)'].

To also compute the sum of 'z' over each group, use: column_names=['x','y','count(*)','sum(z)'].

Available aggregation functions are: count(*), sum, min, max, avg, mean, stddev, stddev_pop, stddev_samp, var, var_pop, var_samp, arg_min, arg_max and count_distinct.

Available grouping functions are Rollup, Cube, and Grouping Sets

This service also provides support for Pivot operations.

Filtering on aggregates is supported via expressions using aggregation functions supplied to having.

The response is returned as a dynamic schema. For details see: dynamic schemas documentation.

If a result_table name is specified in the options, the results are stored in a new table with that name--no results are returned in the response. Both the table name and resulting column names must adhere to standard naming conventions; column/aggregation expressions will need to be aliased. If the source table's shard key is used as the grouping column(s) and all result records are selected (offset is 0 and limit is -9999), the result table will be sharded, in all other cases it will be replicated. Sorting will properly function only if the result table is replicated or if there is only one processing node and should not be relied upon in other cases. Not available when any of the values of column_names is an unrestricted-length string.

Parameters:
Name Type Description
table_name String Name of the table on which the operation will be performed. Must be an existing table/view/collection.
column_names Array.<String> List of one or more column names, expressions, and aggregate expressions.
offset Number A positive integer indicating the number of initial results to skip (this can be useful for paging through the results).
limit Number A positive integer indicating the maximum number of results to be returned Or END_OF_SET (-9999) to indicate that the max number of results should be returned.
options Object Optional parameters.
  • 'collection_name': Name of a collection which is to contain the table specified in result_table. If the collection provided is non-existent, the collection will be automatically created. If empty, then the table will be a top-level table. Additionally this option is invalid if table_name is a collection.
  • 'expression': Filter expression to apply to the table prior to computing the aggregate group by.
  • 'having': Filter expression to apply to the aggregated results.
  • 'sort_order': String indicating how the returned values should be sorted - ascending or descending. Supported values:
    • 'ascending': Indicates that the returned values should be sorted in ascending order.
    • 'descending': Indicates that the returned values should be sorted in descending order.
    The default value is 'ascending'.
  • 'sort_by': String determining how the results are sorted. Supported values:
    • 'key': Indicates that the returned values should be sorted by key, which corresponds to the grouping columns. If you have multiple grouping columns (and are sorting by key), it will first sort the first grouping column, then the second grouping column, etc.
    • 'value': Indicates that the returned values should be sorted by value, which corresponds to the aggregates. If you have multiple aggregates (and are sorting by value), it will first sort by the first aggregate, then the second aggregate, etc.
    The default value is 'value'.
  • 'result_table': The name of the table used to store the results. Has the same naming restrictions as tables. Column names (group-by and aggregate fields) need to be given aliases e.g. ["FChar256 as fchar256", "sum(FDouble) as sfd"]. If present, no results are returned in the response. This option is not available if one of the grouping attributes is an unrestricted string (i.e.; not charN) type.
  • 'result_table_persist': If true, then the result table specified in result_table will be persisted and will not expire unless a ttl is specified. If false, then the result table will be an in-memory table and will expire unless a ttl is specified otherwise. Supported values:
    • 'true'
    • 'false'
    The default value is 'false'.
  • 'result_table_force_replicated': Force the result table to be replicated (ignores any sharding). Must be used in combination with the result_table option. Supported values:
    • 'true'
    • 'false'
    The default value is 'false'.
  • 'result_table_generate_pk': If 'true' then set a primary key for the result table. Must be used in combination with the result_table option. Supported values:
    • 'true'
    • 'false'
    The default value is 'false'.
  • 'ttl': Sets the TTL of the table specified in result_table.
  • 'chunk_size': Indicates the chunk size to be used for the result table. Must be used in combination with the result_table option.
  • 'create_indexes': Comma-separated list of columns on which to create indexes on the result table. Must be used in combination with the result_table option.
  • 'view_id': view this result table is part of. The default value is ''.
  • 'materialize_on_gpu': If true then the columns of the groupby result table will be cached on the GPU. Must be used in combination with the result_table option. Supported values:
    • 'true'
    • 'false'
    The default value is 'false'.
  • 'pivot': pivot column
  • 'pivot_values': The value list provided will become the column headers in the output. Should be the values from the pivot_column.
  • 'grouping_sets': Customize the grouping attribute sets to compute the aggregates. These sets can include ROLLUP or CUBE operartors. The attribute sets should be enclosed in paranthesis and can include composite attributes. All attributes specified in the grouping sets must present in the groupby attributes.
  • 'rollup': This option is used to specify the multilevel aggregates.
  • 'cube': This option is used to specify the multidimensional aggregates.

aggregate_histogram(table_name, column_name, start, end, interval, options, callback) → {Object}

Performs a histogram calculation given a table, a column, and an interval function. The interval is used to produce bins of that size and the result, computed over the records falling within each bin, is returned. For each bin, the start value is inclusive, but the end value is exclusive--except for the very last bin for which the end value is also inclusive. The value returned for each bin is the number of records in it, except when a column name is provided as a value_column. In this latter case the sum of the values corresponding to the value_column is used as the result instead. The total number of bins requested cannot exceed 10,000.

NOTE: The Kinetica instance being accessed must be running a CUDA (GPU-based) build to service a request that specifies a value_column option.

Parameters:
Name Type Description
table_name String Name of the table on which the operation will be performed. Must be an existing table or collection.
column_name String Name of a column or an expression of one or more column names over which the histogram will be calculated.
start Number Lower end value of the histogram interval, inclusive.
end Number Upper end value of the histogram interval, inclusive.
interval Number The size of each bin within the start and end parameters.
options Object Optional parameters.

aggregate_k_means(table_name, column_names, k, tolerance, options, callback) → {Object}

This endpoint runs the k-means algorithm - a heuristic algorithm that attempts to do k-means clustering. An ideal k-means clustering algorithm selects k points such that the sum of the mean squared distances of each member of the set to the nearest of the k points is minimized. The k-means algorithm however does not necessarily produce such an ideal cluster. It begins with a randomly selected set of k points and then refines the location of the points iteratively and settles to a local minimum. Various parameters and options are provided to control the heuristic search.

NOTE: The Kinetica instance being accessed must be running a CUDA (GPU-based) build to service this request.

Parameters:
Name Type Description
table_name String Name of the table on which the operation will be performed. Must be an existing table or collection.
column_names Array.<String> List of column names on which the operation would be performed. If n columns are provided then each of the k result points will have n dimensions corresponding to the n columns.
k Number The number of mean points to be determined by the algorithm.
tolerance Number Stop iterating when the distances between successive points is less than the given tolerance.
options Object Optional parameters.
  • 'whiten': When set to 1 each of the columns is first normalized by its stdv - default is not to whiten.
  • 'max_iters': Number of times to try to hit the tolerance limit before giving up - default is 10.
  • 'num_tries': Number of times to run the k-means algorithm with a different randomly selected starting points - helps avoid local minimum. Default is 1.

aggregate_statistics(table_name, column_name, stats, options, callback) → {Object}

Calculates the requested statistics of the given column(s) in a given table.

The available statistics are count (number of total objects), mean, stdv (standard deviation), variance, skew, kurtosis, sum, min, max, weighted_average, cardinality (unique count), estimated_cardinality, percentile and percentile_rank.

Estimated cardinality is calculated by using the hyperloglog approximation technique.

Percentiles and percentile ranks are approximate and are calculated using the t-digest algorithm. They must include the desired percentile/percentile_rank. To compute multiple percentiles each value must be specified separately (i.e. 'percentile(75.0),percentile(99.0),percentile_rank(1234.56),percentile_rank(-5)').

A second, comma-separated value can be added to the percentile statistic to calculate percentile resolution, e.g., a 50th percentile with 200 resolution would be 'percentile(50,200)'.

The weighted average statistic requires a weight_column_name to be specified in options. The weighted average is then defined as the sum of the products of column_name times the weight_column_name values divided by the sum of the weight_column_name values.

Additional columns can be used in the calculation of statistics via the additional_column_names option. Values in these columns will be included in the overall aggregate calculation--individual aggregates will not be calculated per additional column. For instance, requesting the count & mean of column_name x and additional_column_names y & z, where x holds the numbers 1-10, y holds 11-20, and z holds 21-30, would return the total number of x, y, & z values (30), and the single average value across all x, y, & z values (15.5).

The response includes a list of key/value pairs of each statistic requested and its corresponding value.

Parameters:

aggregate_statistics_by_range(table_name, select_expression, column_name, value_column_name, stats, start, end, interval, options, callback) → {Object}

Divides the given set into bins and calculates statistics of the values of a value-column in each bin. The bins are based on the values of a given binning-column. The statistics that may be requested are mean, stdv (standard deviation), variance, skew, kurtosis, sum, min, max, first, last and weighted average. In addition to the requested statistics the count of total samples in each bin is returned. This counts vector is just the histogram of the column used to divide the set members into bins. The weighted average statistic requires a weight_column to be specified in options. The weighted average is then defined as the sum of the products of the value column times the weight column divided by the sum of the weight column.

There are two methods for binning the set members. In the first, which can be used for numeric valued binning-columns, a min, max and interval are specified. The number of bins, nbins, is the integer upper bound of (max-min)/interval. Values that fall in the range [min+n*interval,min+(n+1)*interval) are placed in the nth bin where n ranges from 0..nbin-2. The final bin is [min+(nbin-1)*interval,max]. In the second method, options bin_values specifies a list of binning column values. Binning-columns whose value matches the nth member of the bin_values list are placed in the nth bin. When a list is provided the binning-column must be of type string or int.

NOTE: The Kinetica instance being accessed must be running a CUDA (GPU-based) build to service this request.

Parameters:
Name Type Description
table_name String Name of the table on which the ranged-statistics operation will be performed.
select_expression String For a non-empty expression statistics are calculated for those records for which the expression is true.
column_name String Name of the binning-column used to divide the set samples into bins.
value_column_name String Name of the value-column for which statistics are to be computed.
stats String A string of comma separated list of the statistics to calculate, e.g. 'sum,mean'. Available statistics: mean, stdv (standard deviation), variance, skew, kurtosis, sum.
start Number The lower bound of the binning-column.
end Number The upper bound of the binning-column.
interval Number The interval of a bin. Set members fall into bin i if the binning-column falls in the range [start+interval*i, start+interval*(i+1)).
options Object Map of optional parameters:
  • 'additional_column_names': A list of comma separated value-column names over which statistics can be accumulated along with the primary value_column.
  • 'bin_values': A list of comma separated binning-column values. Values that match the nth bin_values value are placed in the nth bin.
  • 'weight_column_name': Name of the column used as weighting column for the weighted_average statistic.
  • 'order_column_name': Name of the column used for candlestick charting techniques.

aggregate_statistics_by_range_request(request, callback) → {Object}

Divides the given set into bins and calculates statistics of the values of a value-column in each bin. The bins are based on the values of a given binning-column. The statistics that may be requested are mean, stdv (standard deviation), variance, skew, kurtosis, sum, min, max, first, last and weighted average. In addition to the requested statistics the count of total samples in each bin is returned. This counts vector is just the histogram of the column used to divide the set members into bins. The weighted average statistic requires a weight_column to be specified in options. The weighted average is then defined as the sum of the products of the value column times the weight column divided by the sum of the weight column.

There are two methods for binning the set members. In the first, which can be used for numeric valued binning-columns, a min, max and interval are specified. The number of bins, nbins, is the integer upper bound of (max-min)/interval. Values that fall in the range [min+n*interval,min+(n+1)*interval) are placed in the nth bin where n ranges from 0..nbin-2. The final bin is [min+(nbin-1)*interval,max]. In the second method, options bin_values specifies a list of binning column values. Binning-columns whose value matches the nth member of the bin_values list are placed in the nth bin. When a list is provided the binning-column must be of type string or int.

NOTE: The Kinetica instance being accessed must be running a CUDA (GPU-based) build to service this request.

aggregate_statistics_request(request, callback) → {Object}

Calculates the requested statistics of the given column(s) in a given table.

The available statistics are count (number of total objects), mean, stdv (standard deviation), variance, skew, kurtosis, sum, min, max, weighted_average, cardinality (unique count), estimated_cardinality, percentile and percentile_rank.

Estimated cardinality is calculated by using the hyperloglog approximation technique.

Percentiles and percentile ranks are approximate and are calculated using the t-digest algorithm. They must include the desired percentile/percentile_rank. To compute multiple percentiles each value must be specified separately (i.e. 'percentile(75.0),percentile(99.0),percentile_rank(1234.56),percentile_rank(-5)').

A second, comma-separated value can be added to the percentile statistic to calculate percentile resolution, e.g., a 50th percentile with 200 resolution would be 'percentile(50,200)'.

The weighted average statistic requires a weight_column_name to be specified in options. The weighted average is then defined as the sum of the products of column_name times the weight_column_name values divided by the sum of the weight_column_name values.

Additional columns can be used in the calculation of statistics via the additional_column_names option. Values in these columns will be included in the overall aggregate calculation--individual aggregates will not be calculated per additional column. For instance, requesting the count & mean of column_name x and additional_column_names y & z, where x holds the numbers 1-10, y holds 11-20, and z holds 21-30, would return the total number of x, y, & z values (30), and the single average value across all x, y, & z values (15.5).

The response includes a list of key/value pairs of each statistic requested and its corresponding value.

aggregate_unique(table_name, column_name, offset, limit, options, callback) → {Object}

Returns all the unique values from a particular column (specified by column_name) of a particular table or collection (specified by table_name). If column_name is a numeric column the values will be in binary_encoded_response. Otherwise if column_name is a string column the values will be in json_encoded_response. The results can be paged via the offset and limit parameters.

Columns marked as store-only are unable to be used with this function.

To get the first 10 unique values sorted in descending order options would be::

{"limit":"10","sort_order":"descending"}.

The response is returned as a dynamic schema. For details see: dynamic schemas documentation.

If a result_table name is specified in the options, the results are stored in a new table with that name--no results are returned in the response. Both the table name and resulting column name must adhere to standard naming conventions; any column expression will need to be aliased. If the source table's shard key is used as the column_name, the result table will be sharded, in all other cases it will be replicated. Sorting will properly function only if the result table is replicated or if there is only one processing node and should not be relied upon in other cases. Not available if table_name is a collection or when the value of column_name is an unrestricted-length string.

Parameters:

alter_table(table_name, action, value, options, callback) → {Object}

Apply various modifications to a table, view, or collection. The available modifications include the following:

Create or delete an index on a particular column. This can speed up certain operations when using expressions containing equality or relational operators on indexed columns. This only applies to tables.

Set the time-to-live (TTL). This can be applied to tables, views, or collections. When applied to collections, every contained table & view that is not protected will have its TTL set to the given value.

Set the global access mode (i.e. locking) for a table. This setting trumps any role-based access controls that may be in place; e.g., a user with write access to a table marked read-only will not be able to insert records into it. The mode can be set to read-only, write-only, read/write, and no access.

Change the protection mode to prevent or allow automatic expiration. This can be applied to tables, views, and collections.

Allow homogeneous tables within a collection.

Manage a table's columns--a column can be added, removed, or have its type and properties modified.

Set or unset compression for a column.

Set the time-to-live (TTL). This can be applied to tables, views, or collections. When applied to collections, every contained table & view that is not protected will have its TTL set to the given value.

Set the global access mode (i.e. locking) for a table. This setting trumps any role-based access controls that may be in place; e.g., a user with write access to a table marked read-only will not be able to insert records into it. The mode can be set to read-only, write-only, read/write, and no access.

Change the protection mode to prevent or allow automatic expiration. This can be applied to tables, views, and collections.

Allow homogeneous tables within a collection.

Manage a table's columns--a column can be added, removed, or have its type and properties modified.

Set or unset compression for a column.

Each time an insert operation on the table completes, a multipart message is published for that topic; the first part contains only the topic ID, and each subsequent part contains one binary-encoded Avro object that was inserted. The monitor will continue to run (regardless of whether or not there are any subscribers) until deactivated with GPUdb#clear_table_monitor.

create_table_request(request, callback) → {Object}

Creates a new table or collection. If a new table is being created, the type of the table is given by type_id, which must the be the ID of a currently registered type (i.e. one created via GPUdb#create_type). The table will be created inside a collection if the option collection_name is specified. If that collection does not already exist, it will be created.

To create a new collection, specify the name of the collection in table_name and set the is_collection option to true; type_id will be ignored.

Parameters:

create_trigger_by_area(request_id, table_names, x_column_name, x_vector, y_column_name, y_vector, options, callback) → {Object}

Sets up an area trigger mechanism for two column_names for one or more tables. (This function is essentially the two-dimensional version of GPUdb#create_trigger_by_range.) Once the trigger has been activated, any record added to the listed tables(s) via GPUdb#insert_records with the chosen columns' values falling within the specified region will trip the trigger. All such records will be queued at the trigger port (by default '9001' but able to be retrieved via GPUdb#show_system_status) for any listening client to collect. Active triggers can be cancelled by using the GPUdb#clear_trigger endpoint or by clearing all relevant tables.

The output returns the trigger handle as well as indicating success or failure of the trigger activation.

Parameters:
Name Type Description
request_id String User-created ID for the trigger. The ID can be alphanumeric, contain symbols, and must contain at least one character.
table_names Array.<String> Names of the tables on which the trigger will be activated and maintained.
x_column_name String Name of a numeric column on which the trigger is activated. Usually 'x' for geospatial data points.
x_vector Array.<Number> The respective coordinate values for the region on which the trigger is activated. This usually translates to the x-coordinates of a geospatial region.
y_column_name String Name of a second numeric column on which the trigger is activated. Usually 'y' for geospatial data points.
y_vector Array.<Number> The respective coordinate values for the region on which the trigger is activated. This usually translates to the y-coordinates of a geospatial region. Must be the same length as xvals.

create_type(type_definition, label, properties, options, callback) → {Object}

Creates a new type describing the layout or schema of a table. The type definition is a JSON string describing the fields (i.e. columns) of the type. Each field consists of a name and a data type. Supported data types are: double, float, int, long, string, and bytes. In addition one or more properties can be specified for each column which customize the memory usage and query availability of that column. Note that some properties are mutually exclusive--i.e. they cannot be specified for any given column simultaneously. One example of mutually exclusive properties are data and store_only.

A single primary key and/or single shard key can be set across one or more columns. If a primary key is specified, then a uniqueness constraint is enforced, in that only a single object can exist with a given primary key. When inserting data into a table with a primary key, depending on the parameters in the request, incoming objects with primary key values that match existing objects will either overwrite (i.e. update) the existing object or will be skipped and not added into the set.

Example of a type definition with some of the parameters::

{"type":"record", "name":"point", "fields":[{"name":"msg_id","type":"string"}, {"name":"x","type":"double"}, {"name":"y","type":"double"}, {"name":"TIMESTAMP","type":"double"}, {"name":"source","type":"string"}, {"name":"group_id","type":"string"}, {"name":"OBJECT_ID","type":"string"}] }

Properties::

{"group_id":["store_only"], "msg_id":["store_only","text_search"] }

Parameters:
Name Type Description
type_definition String a JSON string describing the columns of the type to be registered.
label String A user-defined description string which can be used to differentiate between tables and types with otherwise identical schemas.
properties Object Each key-value pair specifies the properties to use for a given column where the key is the column name. All keys used must be relevant column names for the given table. Specifying any property overrides the default properties for that column (which is based on the column's data type). Valid values are:
  • 'data': Default property for all numeric and string type columns; makes the column available for GPU queries.
  • 'text_search': Valid only for 'string' columns. Enables full text search for string columns. Can be set independently of data and store_only.
  • 'store_only': Persist the column value but do not make it available to queries (e.g. GPUdb#filter)-i.e. it is mutually exclusive to the data property. Any 'bytes' type column must have a store_only property. This property reduces system memory usage.
  • 'disk_optimized': Works in conjunction with the data property for string columns. This property reduces system disk usage by disabling reverse string lookups. Queries like GPUdb#filter, GPUdb#filter_by_list, and GPUdb#filter_by_value work as usual but GPUdb#aggregate_unique, GPUdb#aggregate_group_by and GPUdb#get_records_by_column are not allowed on columns with this property.
  • 'timestamp': Valid only for 'long' columns. Indicates that this field represents a timestamp and will be provided in milliseconds since the Unix epoch: 00:00:00 Jan 1 1970. Dates represented by a timestamp must fall between the year 1000 and the year 2900.
  • 'decimal': Valid only for 'string' columns. It represents a SQL type NUMERIC(19, 4) data type. There can be up to 15 digits before the decimal point and up to four digits in the fractional part. The value can be positive or negative (indicated by a minus sign at the beginning). This property is mutually exclusive with the text_search property.
  • 'date': Valid only for 'string' columns. Indicates that this field represents a date and will be provided in the format 'YYYY-MM-DD'. The allowable range is 1000-01-01 through 2900-01-01. This property is mutually exclusive with the text_search property.
  • 'time': Valid only for 'string' columns. Indicates that this field represents a time-of-day and will be provided in the format 'HH:MM:SS.mmm'. The allowable range is 00:00:00.000 through 23:59:59.999. This property is mutually exclusive with the text_search property.
  • 'datetime': Valid only for 'string' columns. Indicates that this field represents a datetime and will be provided in the format 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS.mmm'. The allowable range is 1000-01-01 00:00:00.000 through 2900-01-01 23:59:59.999. This property is mutually exclusive with the text_search property.
  • 'char1': This property provides optimized memory, disk and query performance for string columns. Strings with this property must be no longer than 1 character.
  • 'char2': This property provides optimized memory, disk and query performance for string columns. Strings with this property must be no longer than 2 characters.
  • 'char4': This property provides optimized memory, disk and query performance for string columns. Strings with this property must be no longer than 4 characters.
  • 'char8': This property provides optimized memory, disk and query performance for string columns. Strings with this property must be no longer than 8 characters.
  • 'char16': This property provides optimized memory, disk and query performance for string columns. Strings with this property must be no longer than 16 characters.
  • 'char32': This property provides optimized memory, disk and query performance for string columns. Strings with this property must be no longer than 32 characters.
  • 'char64': This property provides optimized memory, disk and query performance for string columns. Strings with this property must be no longer than 64 characters.
  • 'char128': This property provides optimized memory, disk and query performance for string columns. Strings with this property must be no longer than 128 characters.
  • 'char256': This property provides optimized memory, disk and query performance for string columns. Strings with this property must be no longer than 256 characters.
  • 'int8': This property provides optimized memory and query performance for int columns. Ints with this property must be between -128 and +127 (inclusive)
  • 'int16': This property provides optimized memory and query performance for int columns. Ints with this property must be between -32768 and +32767 (inclusive)
  • 'ipv4': This property provides optimized memory, disk and query performance for string columns representing IPv4 addresses (i.e. 192.168.1.1). Strings with this property must be of the form: A.B.C.D where A, B, C and D are in the range of 0-255.
  • 'wkt': Valid only for 'string' and 'bytes' columns. Indicates that this field contains geospatial geometry objects in Well-Known Text (WKT) or Well-Known Binary (WKB) format.
  • 'primary_key': This property indicates that this column will be part of (or the entire) primary key.
  • 'shard_key': This property indicates that this column will be part of (or the entire) shard key.
  • 'nullable': This property indicates that this column is nullable. However, setting this property is insufficient for making the column nullable. The user must declare the type of the column as a union between its regular type and 'null' in the avro schema for the record type in type_definition. For example, if a column is of type integer and is nullable, then the entry for the column in the avro schema must be: ['int', 'null']. The C++, C#, Java, and Python APIs have built-in convenience for bypassing setting the avro schema by hand. For those languages, one can use this property as usual and not have to worry about the avro schema for the record.
  • 'dict': This property indicates that this column should be dictionary encoded. It can only be used in conjunction with string columns marked with a charN or date property or with int or long columns. This property is appropriate for columns where the cardinality (the number of unique values) is expected to be low, and can save a large amount of memory.
  • 'init_with_now': For columns with attributes of date, time, datetime or timestamp, at insert time, replace empty strings and invalid timestamps with NOW()
The default value is an empty dict ( {} ).
options Object Optional parameters.

filter_by_table(table_name, view_name, column_name, source_table_name, source_table_column_name, options, callback) → {Object}

Filters objects in one table based on objects in another table. The user must specify matching column types from the two tables (i.e. the target table from which objects will be filtered and the source table based on which the filter will be created); the column names need not be the same. If a view_name is specified, then the filtered objects will then be put in a newly created view. The operation is synchronous, meaning that a response will not be returned until all objects are fully available in the result view. The return value contains the count (i.e. the size) of the resulting view.
Parameters:
Name Type Description
table_name String Name of the table whose data will be filtered. Must be an existing table.
view_name String If provided, then this will be the name of the view containing the results. Has the same naming restrictions as tables.
column_name String Name of the column by whose value the data will be filtered from the table designated by table_name.
source_table_name String Name of the table whose data will be compared against in the table called table_name. Must be an existing table.
source_table_column_name String Name of the column in the source_table_name whose values will be used as the filter for table table_name. Must be a geospatial geometry column if in 'spatial' mode; otherwise, Must match the type of the column_name.
options Object Optional parameters.
  • 'collection_name': Name of a collection which is to contain the newly created view. If the collection provided is non-existent, the collection will be automatically created. If empty, then the newly created view will be top-level.
  • 'filter_mode': String indicating the filter mode, either in_table or not_in_table. Supported values:
    • 'in_table'
    • 'not_in_table'

filter_by_table_request(request, callback) → {Object}

Filters objects in one table based on objects in another table. The user must specify matching column types from the two tables (i.e. the target table from which objects will be filtered and the source table based on which the filter will be created); the column names need not be the same. If a view_name is specified, then the filtered objects will then be put in a newly created view. The operation is synchronous, meaning that a response will not be returned until all objects are fully available in the result view. The return value contains the count (i.e. the size) of the resulting view.
Parameters:

filter_by_value(table_name, view_name, is_string, value, value_str, column_name, options, callback) → {Object}

Calculates which objects from a table has a particular value for a particular column. The input parameters provide a way to specify either a String or a Double valued column and a desired value for the column on which the filter is performed. The operation is synchronous, meaning that a response will not be returned until all the objects are fully available. The response payload provides the count of the resulting set. A new result view which satisfies the input filter restriction specification is also created with a view name passed in as part of the input payload. Although this functionality can also be accomplished with the standard filter function, it is more efficient.
Parameters:

The response payload provides the counts of the number of records actually inserted and/or updated, and can provide the unique identifier of each added record.

The options parameter can be used to customize this function's behavior.

The update_on_existing_pk option specifies the record collision policy for inserting into a table with a primary key, but is ignored if no primary key exists.

The return_record_ids option indicates that the database should return the unique identifiers of inserted records.

Parameters:
Name Type Description
table_name String Table to which the records are to be added. Must be an existing table.
data Array.<Object> An array of JSON encoded data for the records to be added. All records must be of the same type as that of the table. Empty array if list_encoding is binary.

If the specified table does not have a primary key, then this option is ignored. Supported values:
    • 'true'
    • 'false'
    The default value is 'false'.
  • 'return_record_ids': If true then return the internal record id along for each inserted record. Supported values:

insert_records_random(table_name, count, options, callback) → {Object}

Generates a specified number of random records and adds them to the given table. There is an optional parameter that allows the user to customize the ranges of the column values. It also allows the user to specify linear profiles for some or all columns in which case linear values are generated rather than random ones. Only individual tables are supported for this operation.

This operation is synchronous, meaning that a response will not be returned until all random records are fully available.

Parameters:
Name Type Description
table_name String Table to which random records will be added. Must be an existing table. Also, must be an individual table, not a collection of tables, nor a view of a table.
count Number Number of records to generate.
options Object Optional parameter to pass in specifications for the randomness of the values. This map is different from the *options* parameter of most other endpoints in that it is a map of string to map of string to doubles, while most others are maps of string to string. In this map, the top level keys represent which column's parameters are being specified, while the internal keys represents which parameter is being specified. These parameters take on different meanings depending on the type of the column. Below follows a more detailed description of the map:
  • 'seed': If provided, the internal random number generator will be initialized with the given value. The minimum is 0. This allows for the same set of random numbers to be generated across invocation of this endpoint in case the user wants to repeat the test. Since options, is a map of maps, we need an internal map to provide the seed value. For example, to pass 100 as the seed value through this parameter, you need something equivalent to: 'options' = {'seed': { 'value': 100 } }
    • 'value': Pass the seed value here.
  • 'all': This key indicates that the specifications relayed in the internal map are to be applied to all columns of the records.
    • 'min': For numerical columns, the minimum of the generated values is set to this value. Default is -99999. For point, shape, and track columns, min for numeric 'x' and 'y' columns needs to be within [-180, 180] and [-90, 90], respectively. The default minimum possible values for these columns in such cases are -180.0 and -90.0. For the 'TIMESTAMP' column, the default minimum corresponds to Jan 1, 2010. For string columns, the minimum length of the randomly generated strings is set to this value (default is 0). If both minimum and maximum are provided, minimum must be less than or equal to max. Value needs to be within [0, 200]. If the min is outside the accepted ranges for strings columns and 'x' and 'y' columns for point/shape/track, then those parameters will not be set; however, an error will not be thrown in such a case. It is the responsibility of the user to use the all parameter judiciously.
    • 'max': For numerical columns, the maximum of the generated values is set to this value. Default is 99999. For point, shape, and track columns, max for numeric 'x' and 'y' columns needs to be within [-180, 180] and [-90, 90], respectively. The default minimum possible values for these columns in such cases are 180.0 and 90.0. For string columns, the maximum length of the randomly generated strings is set to this value (default is 200). If both minimum and maximum are provided, *max* must be greater than or equal to *min*. Value needs to be within [0, 200]. If the *max* is outside the accepted ranges for strings columns and 'x' and 'y' columns for point/shape/track, then those parameters will not be set; however, an error will not be thrown in such a case. It is the responsibility of the user to use the all parameter judiciously.
    • 'interval': If specified, generate values for all columns evenly spaced with the given interval value. If a max value is specified for a given column the data is randomly generated between min and max and decimated down to the interval. If no max is provided the data is linerally generated starting at the minimum value (instead of generating random data). For non-decimated string-type columns the interval value is ignored. Instead the values are generated following the pattern: 'attrname_creationIndex#', i.e. the column name suffixed with an underscore and a running counter (starting at 0). For string types with limited size (eg char4) the prefix is dropped. No nulls will be generated for nullable columns.
    • 'null_percentage': If specified, then generate the given percentage of the count as nulls for all nullable columns. This option will be ignored for non-nullable columns. The value must be within the range [0, 1.0]. The default value is 5% (0.05).
    • 'cardinality': If specified, limit the randomly generated values to a fixed set. Not allowed on a column with interval specified, and is not applicable to WKT or Track-specific columns. The value must be greater than 0. This option is disabled by default.
  • 'attr_name': Use the desired column name in place of attr_name, and set the following parameters for the column specified. This overrides any parameter set by all.
    • 'min': For numerical columns, the minimum of the generated values is set to this value. Default is -99999. For point, shape, and track columns, min for numeric 'x' and 'y' columns needs to be within [-180, 180] and [-90, 90], respectively. The default minimum possible values for these columns in such cases are -180.0 and -90.0. For the 'TIMESTAMP' column, the default minimum corresponds to Jan 1, 2010. For string columns, the minimum length of the randomly generated strings is set to this value (default is 0). If both minimum and maximum are provided, minimum must be less than or equal to max. Value needs to be within [0, 200]. If the min is outside the accepted ranges for strings columns and 'x' and 'y' columns for point/shape/track, then those parameters will not be set; however, an error will not be thrown in such a case.

    • 'null_percentage': If specified and if this column is nullable, then generate the given percentage of the count as nulls. This option will result in an error if the column is not nullable. The value must be within the range [0, 1.0]. The default value is 5% (0.05).
    • 'cardinality': If specified, limit the randomly generated values to a fixed set. Not allowed on a column with interval specified, and is not applicable to WKT or Track-specific columns. The value must be greater than 0. This option is disabled by default.
  • 'track_length': This key-map pair is only valid for track data sets (an error is thrown otherwise). No nulls would be generated for nullable columns.
    • 'min': Minimum possible length for generated series; default is 100 records per series. Must be an integral value within the range [1, 500]. If both min and max are specified, min must be less than or equal to max.
    • 'max': Maximum possible length for generated series; default is 500 records per series. Must be an integral value within the range [1, 500]. If both min and max are specified, max must be greater than or equal to min.

insert_records_random_request(request, callback) → {Object}

Generates a specified number of random records and adds them to the given table. There is an optional parameter that allows the user to customize the ranges of the column values. It also allows the user to specify linear profiles for some or all columns in which case linear values are generated rather than random ones. Only individual tables are supported for this operation.

This operation is synchronous, meaning that a response will not be returned until all random records are fully available.

Parameters:
Name Type Description
request Object Request object containing the parameters for the operation.

insert_records_request(request, callback) → {Object}

Adds multiple records to the specified table. The operation is synchronous, meaning that a response will not be returned until all the records are fully inserted and available. The response payload provides the counts of the number of records actually inserted and/or updated, and can provide the unique identifier of each added record.

The options parameter can be used to customize this function's behavior.

The update_on_existing_pk option specifies the record collision policy for inserting into a table with a primary key, but is ignored if no primary key exists.

The return_record_ids option indicates that the database should return the unique identifiers of inserted records.

Parameters:

insert_symbol(symbol_id, symbol_format, symbol_data, options, callback) → {Object}

Adds a symbol or icon (i.e. an image) to represent data points when data is rendered visually. Users must provide the symbol identifier (string), a format (currently supported: 'svg' and 'svg_path'), the data for the symbol, and any additional optional parameter (e.g. color). To have a symbol used for rendering create a table with a string column named 'SYMBOLCODE' (along with 'x' or 'y' for example). Then when the table is rendered (via WMS) if the 'dosymbology' parameter is 'true' then the value of the 'SYMBOLCODE' column is used to pick the symbol displayed for each point.
Parameters:
Name Type Description
symbol_id String The id of the symbol being added. This is the same id that should be in the 'SYMBOLCODE' column for objects using this symbol
symbol_format String Specifies the symbol format. Must be either 'svg' or 'svg_path'. Supported values:
  • 'svg'
  • 'svg_path'
symbol_data String The actual symbol data. If symbol_format is 'svg' then this should be the raw bytes representing an svg file. If symbol_format is svg path then this should be an svg path string, for example: 'M25.979,12.896,5.979,12.896,5.979,19.562,25.979,19.562z'
options Object Optional parameters.
  • 'color': If symbol_format is 'svg' this is ignored. If symbol_format is 'svg_path' then this option specifies the color (in RRGGBB hex format) of the path. For example, to have the path rendered in red, used 'FF0000'. If 'color' is not provided then '00FF00' (i.e. green) is used by default.

submit_request(endpoint, request, callbackopt) → {Object}

Submits an arbitrary request to GPUdb.

If a callback function is provided, the request will be submitted asynchronously, and the result (either a response or an error) will be passed to the callback function upon completion.

If a callback function is not provided, the request will be submitted synchronously and the response returned directly, and an exception will be thrown if an error occurs.

In either case the function will attempt to cycle through available GPUdb instances as provided in the constructor if an error occurs with the server.

Parameters:
Name Type Attributes Description
endpoint String The endpoint to which to submit the request.
request Object The request object to submit.
callback GPUdbCallback <optional>
 The callback function, if asynchronous operation is desired.
Source:
Returns:
The response object, if no callback function is provided.
Type

update_records(table_name, expressions, new_values_maps, data, options, callback) → {Object}

Runs multiple predicate-based updates in a single call. With the list of given expressions, any matching record's column values will be updated as provided in new_values_maps. There is also an optional 'upsert' capability where if a particular predicate doesn't match any existing record, then a new record can be inserted.

Note that this operation can only be run on an original table and not on a collection or a result view.

This operation can update primary key values. By default only 'pure primary key' predicates are allowed when updating primary key values. If the primary key for a table is the column 'attr1', then the operation will only accept predicates of the form: "attr1 == 'foo'" if the attr1 column is being updated. For a composite primary key (e.g. columns 'attr1' and 'attr2') then this operation will only accept predicates of the form: "(attr1 == 'foo') and (attr2 == 'bar')". Meaning, all primary key columns must appear in an equality predicate in the expressions. Furthermore each 'pure primary key' predicate must be unique within a given request. These restrictions can be removed by utilizing some available options through options.

Parameters:
Name Type Description
table_name String Table to be updated. Must be a currently existing table and not a collection or view.
expressions Array.<String> A list of the actual predicates, one for each update; format should follow the guidelines here.
new_values_maps Array.<Object> List of new values for the matching records. Each element is a map with (key, value) pairs where the keys are the names of the columns whose values are to be updated; the values are the new values. The number of elements in the list should match the length of expressions.
data Array.<Object> An optional list of new json-avro encoded objects to insert, one for each update, to be added to the set if the particular update did not affect any objects.
options Object Optional parameters.
  • 'global_expression': An optional global expression to reduce the search space of the predicates listed in expressions. The default value is ''.
  • 'bypass_safety_checks': When set to true, all predicates are available for primary key updates. Keep in mind that it is possible to destroy data in this case, since a single predicate may match multiple objects (potentially all of records of a table), and then updating all of those records to have the same primary key will, due to the primary key uniqueness constraints, effectively delete all but one of those updated records. Supported values:
    • 'true'
    • 'false'
    The default value is 'false'.
  • 'update_on_existing_pk': Can be used to customize behavior when the updated primary key value already exists as described in GPUdb#insert_records. Supported values:
    • 'true'
    • 'false'
    The default value is 'false'.
  • 'use_expressions_in_new_values_maps': When set to true, all new values in new_values_maps are considered as expression values. When set to false, all new values in new_values_maps are considered as constants. NOTE: When true, string constants will need to be quoted to avoid being evaluated as expressions. Supported values:
    • 'true'
    • 'false'
    The default value is 'false'.
  • 'record_id': ID of a single record to be updated (returned in the call to GPUdb#insert_records or GPUdb#get_records_from_collection).
