TopNMetricSpec
|
||
|
|
==================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The topN metric spec specifies how topN values should be sorted.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Numeric TopNMetricSpec
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The simplest metric specification is a String value indicating the metric to sort topN results by. They are included in a topN query with:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```json
|
||
|
|
"metric": <metric_value_string>
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The metric field can also be given as a JSON object. The grammar for dimension values sorted by numeric value is shown below:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```json
|
||
|
|
"metric": {
|
||
|
|
"type": "numeric",
|
||
|
|
"metric": "<metric_value>"
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||

|
||
|
|
|metric|the actual metric field in which results will be sorted by|yes|
|
||
|
|
|

|
|
## Lexicographic TopNMetricSpec
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The grammar for dimension values sorted lexicographically is as follows:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```json
|
||
|
|
"metric": {
|
||
|
|
"type": "lexicographic",
|
||
|
|
"previousStop": "<previousStop_value>"
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|property|description|required?|
|
||
|
|
|--------|-----------|---------|
|
||
|
|
|type|this indicates a lexicographic sort|yes|
|
||
|
|
|previousStop|the starting point of the lexicographic sort. For example, if a previousStop value is 'b', all values before 'b' are discarded. This field can be used to paginate through all the dimension values.|no|
