A having clause is a JSON object identifying which rows from a groupBy query should be returned, by specifying conditions on aggregated values.

It is essentially the equivalent of the HAVING clause in SQL.

Druid supports the following types of having clauses.

### Numeric filters

The simplest having clause is a numeric filter.
Numeric filters can be used as the base filters for more complex boolean expressions of filters.

#### Equal To

The equalTo filter will match rows with a specific aggregate value.
The grammar for an `equalTo` filter is as follows:

    <code>"having": {
        "type": "equalTo",
        "aggregation": <aggregate_metric>,
        "value": <numeric_value>
    }
    </code>

This is the equivalent of `HAVING <aggregate> = <value>`.

#### Greater Than

The greaterThan filter will match rows with aggregate values greater than the given value.
The grammar for a `greaterThan` filter is as follows:

    <code>"having": {
        "type": "greaterThan",
        "aggregation": <aggregate_metric>,
        "value": <numeric_value>
    }
    </code>

This is the equivalent of `HAVING <aggregate> > <value>`.

#### Less Than

The lessThan filter will match rows with aggregate values less than the specified value.
The grammar for a `greaterThan` filter is as follows:

    <code>"having": {
        "type": "lessThan",
        "aggregation": <aggregate_metric>,
        "value": <numeric_value>
    }
    </code>

This is the equivalent of `HAVING <aggregate> < <value>`.

### Logical expression filters

#### AND

The grammar for an AND filter is as follows:

    <code>"having": {
        "type": "and",
        "havingSpecs": [<having clause>, <having clause>, ...]
    }
    </code>

The having clauses in `havingSpecs` can be any other having clause defined on this page.

#### OR

The grammar for an OR filter is as follows:

    <code>"having": {
        "type": "or",
        "havingSpecs": [<having clause>, <having clause>, ...]
    }
    </code>

The having clauses in `havingSpecs` can be any other having clause defined on this page.

#### NOT

The grammar for a NOT filter is as follows:

    <code>"having": {
        "type": "not",
        "havingSpec": <having clause>
    }
    </code>

The having clause specified at `havingSpec` can be any other having clause defined on this page.
