Create Record directive

The CREATE-RECORD directive was introduced in CDAP 6.7.0.

The CREATE-RECORD directive creates a record column with nested values by copying values from source columns into a destination column.

Syntax

create-record :target_column :columns [,:columns]*

Usage notes

A RECORD can be accessed as a STRUCT type in standard SQL. A STRUCT is a container of ordered fields.

Example

Using this record as an example:

{
  "id": 1,
  "timestamp": 1234434343,
  "measurement": 10.45,
  "isvalid": true
}

Applying this directive:

create-record :list :id, :timestamp, :measurement, :isvalid

results in this record:

{
  "id": 1,
  "timestamp": 1234434343,
  "datetime": 1234434343,
  "measurement": 10.45,
  "isvalid": true,
  "list": {"id":1,"timestamp":1234434343,"measurement":10.45,"isvalid":true}
}
