addValuePartitions

Syntax

addValuePartitions(dbHandle, newValues, [level=0], [locations])

Arguments

dbHandle is a database handle.

newValues is a scalar or vector indicating new partitions.

level is a nonnegative integer. For a partitioned database with COMPO domain, we need to specify the level of the partitions that addValuePartitions applies if it is not for the first level of partitions. This level must be of a VALUE domain. It is an optional parameter with default value of 0.

The optional paramater locations is a string scalar/vector. If the paramater locations was specified when the database was created, we can use locations to specify where the new partitions located.

Details

Append new values to the partition scheme of a database.

This database must be of VALUE domain or of COMPO domain with at least one level of VALUE domain.

Examples

In the following example, we append (2017.08.12..2017.08.20) to the partition scheme of a database of COMPO domain.

$ n=1000000
$ ID=rand(100, n)
$ dates=2017.08.07..2017.08.11
$ date=rand(dates, n)
$ x=rand(10.0, n)
$ t=table(ID, date, x)

$ dbID=database(, RANGE, 0 50 100);
$ dbDate = database(, VALUE, 2017.08.07..2017.08.11)
$ db = database("dfs://compoDB", COMPO, [dbID, dbDate]);
$ pt = db.createPartitionedTable(t, `pt, `ID`date)
$ pt.append!(t)

$ addValuePartitions(db,2017.08.12..2017.08.20,1)
9

Please note that before appending data to the new partitions, we need to reload the table.

$ db=database("dfs://compoDB")
$ pt=loadTable(db,"pt")

$ t1=table(0..99 as ID,take(2017.08.12,100) as date,rand(10.0,100) as x)
$ pt.append!(t1)

$ select count(*) from loadTable("dfs://compoDB","pt")
1000100

Please note that to add new partitions consecutively without appending new data, we need to reload the database before each addValuePartitions operation.

$ db=database("dfs://compoDB")
$ addValuePartitions(db, 2017.08.21,1)

$ db=database("dfs://compoDB")
$ addValuePartitions(db, 2017.08.22,1)

$ db=database("dfs://compoDB")
$ addValuePartitions(db, 2017.08.23,1);
