{ “title”: “BITMAP_OR”, “language”: “en”, “description”: “Computes the union of two or more Bitmaps and returns a new Bitmap.” }

Description

Computes the union of two or more Bitmaps and returns a new Bitmap.

Syntax

BITMAP_OR(<bitmap1>, <bitmap2>, ..., <bitmapN>)

Parameters

Parameter	Description
<bitmap1>	The first Bitmap
<bitmap2>	The second Bitmap
...	...
<bitmapN>	The N-th Bitmap

Return Value

A Bitmap that represents the union of multiple Bitmaps.

Examples

To compute the union of two identical Bitmaps:

select bitmap_count(bitmap_or(to_bitmap(1), to_bitmap(1))) cnt;

The result will be:

+------+
| cnt  |
+------+
|    1 |
+------+

To convert the union of two identical Bitmaps to a string:

select bitmap_to_string(bitmap_or(to_bitmap(1), to_bitmap(1))) as res;

The result will be:

+------+
| res  |
+------+
| 1    |
+------+

To compute the union of two different Bitmaps:

select bitmap_count(bitmap_or(to_bitmap(1), to_bitmap(2))) cnt;

The result will be:

+------+
| cnt  |
+------+
|    2 |
+------+

To convert the union of two different Bitmaps to a string:

select bitmap_to_string(bitmap_or(to_bitmap(1), to_bitmap(2))) res;

The result will be:

+------+
| res  |
+------+
| 1,2  |
+------+

To compute the union of multiple Bitmaps, including a NULL value:

select bitmap_to_string(bitmap_or(to_bitmap(1), to_bitmap(2), to_bitmap(10), to_bitmap(0), NULL)) res;

The result will be:

+----------+
| res      |
+----------+
| 0,1,2,10 |
+----------+

To compute the union of multiple Bitmaps, including an empty Bitmap:

select bitmap_to_string(bitmap_or(to_bitmap(1), to_bitmap(2), to_bitmap(10), to_bitmap(0), bitmap_empty())) res;

The result will be:

+----------+
| res      |
+----------+
| 0,1,2,10 |
+----------+

To compute the union of Bitmaps created from strings and individual values:

select bitmap_to_string(bitmap_or(to_bitmap(10), bitmap_from_string('1,2'), bitmap_from_string('1,2,3,4,5'))) res;

The result will be:

+--------------+
| res          |
+--------------+
| 1,2,3,4,5,10 |
+--------------+
