Filter groupBy Query Results

A having clause is a JSON object identifying which rows from a groupBy query should be returned, by specifying conditions on aggregated values.

It is essentially the equivalent of the HAVING clause in SQL.

Druid supports the following types of having clauses.

Numeric filters

The simplest having clause is a numeric filter. Numeric filters can be used as the base filters for more complex boolean expressions of filters.

Equal To

The equalTo filter will match rows with a specific aggregate value. The grammar for an equalTo filter is as follows:

{
    "type": "equalTo",
    "aggregation": <aggregate_metric>,
    "value": <numeric_value>
}

This is the equivalent of HAVING <aggregate> = <value>.

Greater Than

The greaterThan filter will match rows with aggregate values greater than the given value. The grammar for a greaterThan filter is as follows:

{
    "type": "greaterThan",
    "aggregation": <aggregate_metric>,
    "value": <numeric_value>
}

This is the equivalent of HAVING <aggregate> > <value>.

Less Than

The lessThan filter will match rows with aggregate values less than the specified value. The grammar for a greaterThan filter is as follows:

{
    "type": "lessThan",
    "aggregation": <aggregate_metric>,
    "value": <numeric_value>
}

This is the equivalent of HAVING <aggregate> < <value>.

Logical expression filters

AND

The grammar for an AND filter is as follows:

{
    "type": "and",
    "havingSpecs": [<having clause>, <having clause>, ...]
}

The having clauses in havingSpecs can be any other having clause defined on this page.

OR

The grammar for an OR filter is as follows:

{
    "type": "or",
    "havingSpecs": [<having clause>, <having clause>, ...]
}

The having clauses in havingSpecs can be any other having clause defined on this page.

NOT

The grammar for a NOT filter is as follows:

{
    "type": "not",
    "havingSpec": <having clause>
}

The having clause specified at havingSpec can be any other having clause defined on this page.
