Post-aggregations are specifications of processing that should happen on aggregated values as they come out of Druid. If you include a post aggregation as part of a query, make sure to include all aggregators the post-aggregator requires.
There are several post-aggregators available.
### Arithmetic post-aggregator
The arithmetic post-aggregator applies the provided function to the given fields from left to right. The fields can be aggregators or other post aggregators.
Supported functions are `+`, `-`, `*`, and `/`
The grammar for an arithmetic post aggregation is:
```json
postAggregation : {
"type" : "arithmetic",
"name" : <output_name>,
"fn" : <arithmetic_function>,
"fields": [<post_aggregator>, <post_aggregator>, ...]
}
```
### Field accessor post-aggregator
This returns the value produced by the specified [aggregator](Aggregations.html).
`fieldName` refers to the output name of the aggregator given in the [aggregations](Aggregations.html) portion of the query.
```json
{ "type" : "fieldAccess", "fieldName" : <aggregator_name> }
```
### Constant post-aggregator
The constant post-aggregator always returns the specified value.
```json
{ "type" : "constant", "name" : <output_name>, "value" : <numerical_value> }
```
### Example Usage
In this example, lets calculate a simple percentage using post aggregators. Lets imagine our data set has a metric called "total".
The format of the query JSON is as follows:
```json
{
...
"aggregations" : [
{ "type" : "count", "name" : "rows" },
{ "type" : "doubleSum", "name" : "tot", "fieldName" : "total" }
],
"postAggregations" : {
"type" : "arithmetic",
"name" : "average",
"fn" : "*",
"fields" : [
{ "type" : "arithmetic",
"name" : "div",
"fn" : "/",
"fields" : [
{ "type" : "fieldAccess", "name" : "tot", "fieldName" : "tot" },
{ "type" : "fieldAccess", "name" : "rows", "fieldName" : "rows" }
]
},
{ "type" : "constant", "name": "const", "value" : 100 }
]
}
...
}
```
