Apache PIG - GROUP BY

Question

我希望在Pig中实现以下功能。我有一组像这样的样本记录。

请注意，EffectiveDate列有时为空白，并且对于同一CustomerID也不同。

现在，作为输出，我希望每个CustomerID有一条记录，其中EffectiveDate是MAX。因此，对于上面的示例，我希望突出显示如下所示的记录。

我目前使用PIG的方式是：

customerdata = LOAD 'customerdata' AS (CustomerID:chararray, CustomerName:chararray, Age:int, Gender:chararray, EffectiveDate:chararray);

--Group customer data by CustomerID
customerdata_grpd = GROUP customerdata BY CustomerID;

--From the grouped data, generate one record per CustomerID that has the maximum EffectiveDate.
customerdata_maxdate = FOREACH customerdata_grpd GENERATE group as CustID, MAX(customerdata.EffectiveDate) as MaxDate;

--Join the above with the original data so that we get the other details like CustomerName, Age etc.
joinwithoriginal = JOIN customerdata by (CustomerID, EffectiveDate), customerdata_maxdate by (CustID, MaxDate);

finaloutput = FOREACH joinwithoriginal GENERATE customerdata::CustomerID as CustomerID, CustomerName as CustomerName, Age as Age, Gender as gender, EffectiveDate as EffectiveDate;

我基本上将原始数据分组以查找具有最大EffectiveDate的记录。然后我再次使用原始数据集加入这些“分组”记录，以获得具有最大生效日期的相同记录，但这次我还将获得其他数据，如客户名称，年龄和性别。这个数据集非常庞大，因此这种方法需要花费很多时间。有更好的方法吗？

输入：

customer_data = LOAD 'customer_data.csv' USING PigStorage(',')  AS  (id:int,name:chararray,age:int,gender:chararray,effective_date:chararray);

customer_data_fmt = FOREACH customer_data GENERATE id..gender,ToDate(effective_date,'dd-MMM-yy') AS date, effective_date;

customer_data_grp_id = GROUP customer_data_fmt BY id;

req_data = FOREACH customer_data_grp_id {
        customer_data_ordered = ORDER customer_data_fmt BY date DESC;
        req_customer_data = LIMIT customer_data_ordered 1;
        GENERATE FLATTEN(req_customer_data.id) AS id, 
                 FLATTEN(req_customer_data.name) AS name,
                 FLATTEN(req_customer_data.gender) AS gender,
                 FLATTEN(req_customer_data.effective_date) AS effective_date;
};  

猪脚本：

(1,John,M,1-Feb-15)
(2,Jane,F,5-Jun-15)

输出

@RequestMapping(value = "/configuration" , method = RequestMethod.POST, consumes = {MediaType.MULTIPART_FORM_DATA_VALUE})
public String setConfiguration(@RequestPart MultipartFile file)
