Hive check elements in array

问题:

I have an Hive table made of user_id and item_id (id of items that have been purchased by the user). I want to get a list of all the users who purchased item 1 but not item 2 and 3.

To do this I wrote the simple query:

SELECT user_id, collect_set(item_id) itemslist FROM mytable WHERE item_id in (1, 2) GROUP BY user_id HAVING -- what should I put here??? 

As you can see, I don't know how to check whether the array itemslist contains 1 and not 2.

How do you do this? If there is some more efficient way can you please tell me both (or more) methods?

回答1:

There are some collection functions in Hive `(See collection functions here : https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/LanguageManual+UDF ) which can use here.

You can use the array_contains(Array<T>, value) function to check if item 1 is present and the size(Array<T>) function to make sure the length is 1. If both conditions are satisfied, you will get the desired output.
