James Taylor commented on PHOENIX-3773:
---------------------------------------
Yes, your input/output example is what I was suggesting (where the return value
of FIRST_VALUES is an array type).
> Implement FIRST_VALUES aggregate function

> Similar to FIRST_VALUE, but would allow the user to specify how many values
> to keep. This could use a MinMaxPriorityQueue under the covers and be much
> more efficient than using multiple NTH_VALUE calls to do the same like this:
> {code}
> SELECT entity_id,
> NTH_VALUE(user_id,1) WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY last_read_date DESC) as
> nth1_user_id,
> NTH_VALUE(user_id,2) WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY last_read_date DESC) as
> nth2_user_id,
> NTH_VALUE(user_id,3) WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY last_read_date DESC) as
> nth3_user_id,
> count(*)
> FROM MY_TABLE
> WHERE tenant_id='00Dx0000000XXXX'
> AND entity_id in ('0D5x000000ABCD','0D5x000000ABCE')
> GROUP BY entity_id;
> {code}
