approx_top_sum

Introduced in: v1.1.0 Returns an array of the approximately most frequent values and their counts in the specified column. The resulting array is sorted in descending order of approximate frequency of values (not by the values themselves). Additionally, the weight of the value is taken into account. This function does not provide a guaranteed result. In certain situations, errors might occur and it might return frequent values that aren’t the most frequent values. See Also

Syntax

approx_top_sum(N[, reserved])(column, weight)

Parameters

N — The number of elements to return. Optional. Default value: 10. UInt64
reserved — Optional. Defines, how many cells reserved for values. If uniq(column) > reserved, result of topK function will be approximate. Default value: N * 3. Maximum value of N = 65536. UInt64

Arguments

column — The name of the column for which to find the most frequent values. String
weight — The weight. Every value is accounted weight times for frequency calculation. UInt64

Returned value Returns an array of the approximately most frequent values and their counts, sorted in descending order of approximate frequency. Array Examples Usage example

Query

Response

┌─approx_top_sum(2)(k, w)─┐
