# Post-Aggregations
|
||
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 `quotient`.
|
||
|
||
**Note**:
|
||
|
||
* `/` division always returns `0` if dividing by`0`, regardless of the numerator.
|
||
* `quotient` division behaves like regular floating point division
|
||
|
||
Arithmetic post-aggregators may also specify an `ordering`, which defines the order
|
||
of resulting values when sorting results (this can be useful for topN queries for instance):
|
||
|
||
- If no ordering (or `null`) is specified, the default floating point ordering is used.
|
||
- `numericFirst` ordering always returns finite values first, followed by `NaN`, and infinite values last.
|
||
|
||
The grammar for an arithmetic post aggregation is:
|
||
|
||
```json
|
||
postAggregation : {
|
||
"type" : "arithmetic",
|
||
"name" : <output_name>,
|
||
"fn" : <arithmetic_function>,
|
||
"fields": [<post_aggregator>, <post_aggregator>, ...],
|
||
"ordering" : <null (default), or "numericFirst">
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Field accessor post-aggregator
|
||
|
||
This returns the value produced by the specified [aggregator](../querying/aggregations.html).
|
||
|
||
`fieldName` refers to the output name of the aggregator given in the [aggregations](../querying/aggregations.html) portion of the query.
|
||
|
||
```json
|
||
{ "type" : "fieldAccess", "name": <output_name>, "fieldName" : <aggregator_name> }
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Constant post-aggregator
|
||
|
||
The constant post-aggregator always returns the specified value.
|
||
|
||
```json
|
||
{ "type" : "constant", "name" : <output_name>, "value" : <numerical_value> }
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### JavaScript post-aggregator
|
||
|
||
Applies the provided JavaScript function to the given fields. Fields are passed as arguments to the JavaScript function in the given order.
|
||
|
||
```json
|
||
postAggregation : {
|
||
"type": "javascript",
|
||
"name": <output_name>,
|
||
"fieldNames" : [<aggregator_name>, <aggregator_name>, ...],
|
||
"function": <javascript function>
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Example JavaScript aggregator:
|
||
|
||
```json
|
||
{
|
||
"type": "javascript",
|
||
"name": "absPercent",
|
||
"fieldNames": ["delta", "total"],
|
||
"function": "function(delta, total) { return 100 * Math.abs(delta) / total; }"
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
### HyperUnique Cardinality post-aggregator
|
||
|
||
The hyperUniqueCardinality post aggregator is used to wrap a hyperUnique object such that it can be used in post aggregations.
|
||
|
||
```json
|
||
{ "type" : "hyperUniqueCardinality", "name": <output name>, "fieldName" : <the name field value of the hyperUnique aggregator>}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
It can be used in a sample calculation as so:
|
||
|
||
```json
|
||
"aggregations" : [{
|
||
{"type" : "count", "name" : "rows"},
|
||
{"type" : "hyperUnique", "name" : "unique_users", "fieldName" : "uniques"}
|
||
}],
|
||
"postAggregations" : [{
|
||
"type" : "arithmetic",
|
||
"name" : "average_users_per_row",
|
||
"fn" : "/",
|
||
"fields" : [
|
||
{ "type" : "hyperUniqueCardinality", "fieldName" : "unique_users" },
|
||
{ "type" : "fieldAccess", "name" : "rows", "fieldName" : "rows" }
|
||
]
|
||
}]
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
#### Example Usage
|
||
|
||
In this example, let’s calculate a simple percentage using post aggregators. Let’s 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 }
|
||
]
|
||
}]
|
||
...
|
||
}
|
||
```
