Given a table with entries at irregular time stamps, "breaks" must be inserted at regular 5 min intervals ( the data associated can / will be NULL ).
I was thinking of getting the start time, making a subquery that has a window function and adds 5 min intervals to the start time - but I only could think of using row_number to increment the values.
WITH data as(
select id, data,
cast(date_and_time as double) * 1000 as time_milliseconds
from t1), -- original data
start_times as(
select id, MIN(CAST(date_and_time as double) * 1000) as start_time
from t1
GROUP BY id
), -- first timestamp for each id
boundries as (
SELECT T1.id,(row_number() OVER (PARTITION BY T1.id ORDER BY T1.date_and_time)-1) *300000 + start_times.start_time
as boundry
from T1
INNER JOIN start_times ON start_times.id= T1.id
) -- increment the number of 5 min added on each row and later full join boundries table with original data
However this limits me to the number of rows present for an id in the original data table, and if the timestamps are spread out, the number of rows cannot cover the amount of 5 min intervals needed to be added.
sample data:
initial data:
|-----------|------------------|------------------|
| id | value | timestamp |
|-----------|------------------|------------------|
| 1 | 3 | 12:00:01.011 |
|-----------|------------------|------------------|
| 1 | 4 | 12:03:30.041 |
|-----------|------------------|------------------|
| 1 | 5 | 12:12:20.231 |
|-----------|------------------|------------------|
| 1 | 3 | 15:00:00.312 |
data after my query:
|-----------|------------------|------------------|
| id | value | timestamp (UNIX) |
|-----------|------------------|------------------|
| 1 | 3 | 12:00:01 |
|-----------|------------------|------------------|
| 1 | 4 | 12:03:30 |
|-----------|------------------|------------------|
| 1 | NULL | 12:05:01 | <-- Data from "boundries"
|-----------|------------------|------------------|
| 1 | NULL | 12:10:01 | <-- Data from "boundries"
|-----------|------------------|------------------|
| 1 | 5 | 12:12:20 |
|-----------|------------------|------------------|
| 1 | NULL | 12:15:01 | <-- Data from "boundries"
|-----------|------------------|------------------|
| 1 | NULL | 12:20:01 | <-- Data from "boundries"
|-----------|------------------|------------------| <-- Jumping directly to 15:00:00 (WRONG! :( need to insert more 5 min breaks here )
| 1 | 3 | 15:00:00 |
I was thinking of creating a temporary table inside HIVE and filling it with x rows representing 5 min intervals from the starttime to the endtime of the data table, but I couldn't find any way of accomplishing that.
Any way of using "for loops" ? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks
