Hello,
Is there some sort of mechanism by which I could cause a value to
accumulate within a relation? What I'd like to do is something along the
lines of having a long called accumulator, and an outer bag called
hourlyTotals with a schema of (hour:int, collected:int)
accumulator = 0L; -- I know this line doesn't work
ORDER hourlyTotals BY collected;
cumulativeTotals = FOREACH hourlyTotals {
accumulator += collected;
GENERATE day, accumulator AS collected;
}
Could something like this be made to work? Is there something similar that
I can do instead? Do I just need to pipe the relation through an
external script to get what I want?
Thanks,
Kris
