-------------------------------
Summary: Support FirstRow and LastRow for SQL
Key: FLINK-11944
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-11944
Project: Flink
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: API / Table SQL
Reporter: Jark Wu
Usually there are some duplicate data in the source due to some reasons. In
order to get a correct result, we need to do deduplication. FirstRow and
LastRow are two different strategy for deduplication. The syntax of FirstRow
and LastRow is similar to TopN, but order by a time attribute. For example:
SELECT *
FROM (
SELECT *,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY id ORDER BY proctime DESC) as rownum
FROM T
)
WHERE rownum = 1
Some information about FirstRow & LastRow.
1. the partition by key is the deduplicate key
2. can only order by a time attribute (either proctime or rowtime)
3. the rownum filter must be {{= 1}} or {{<= 1}}
4. it is FirstRow when order direction is ASC, LastRow when order direction is
DESC
This issue is aiming to optimize this query to a FirstLastRow node instead of
Over plus Calc. And translate the it into physical operators.
