# 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](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> }
```
### 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", "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, 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 }
]
}
...
}
```
