Aggregate Histogram

Performs a histogram calculation given a table, a column, and an interval function. The input parameter 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.

Input Parameter Description

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	double	Lower end value of the histogram interval, inclusive.
end	double	Upper end value of the histogram interval, inclusive.
interval	double	The size of each bin within the start and end parameters.
options	map of string to strings	Optional parameters. The default value is an empty map ( {} ). Supported Parameters (keys) Parameter Description value_column The name of the column to use when calculating the bin values (values are summed). The column must be a numerical type (int, double, long, float).

Output Parameter Description

Name	Type	Description
counts	array of doubles	The array of calculated values that represents the histogram data points.
start	double	Value of input parameter start.
end	double	Value of input parameter end.
