The limitSpec field provides the functionality to sort and limit the set of results from a groupBy query. If you group by a single dimension and are ordering by a single metric, we highly recommend using [TopN Queries](../querying/topnquery.md) instead. The performance will be substantially better. Available options are:
|
|
|
|
### DefaultLimitSpec
|
|
|
|
The default limit spec takes a limit and the list of columns to do an orderBy operation over. The grammar is:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"type" : "default",
|
|
"limit" : <integer_value>,
|
|
"columns" : [list of OrderByColumnSpec],
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### OrderByColumnSpec
|
|
|
|
OrderByColumnSpecs indicate how to do order by operations. Each order-by condition can be a `jsonString` or a map of the following form:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"dimension" : "<Any dimension or metric name>",
|
|
"direction" : <"ascending"|"descending">,
|
|
"dimensionOrder" : <"lexicographic"(default)|"alphanumeric"|"strlen"|"numeric">
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If only the dimension is provided (as a JSON string), the default order-by is ascending with lexicographic sorting.
|
|
|
|
See [Sorting Orders](./sorting-orders.md) for more information on the sorting orders specified by "dimensionOrder".
