addValuePartitions

addValuePartitions(dbHandle, newValues, [level=0], [locations])

dbHandle is a database handle.

newValues is a scalar or vector indicating new partitions.

level (optional) is a non-negative integer. For a partitioned database with COMPO domain, we need to specify the level of the partitions that addValuePartitions applies if it is not for the first level of partitions. This level must be of a VALUE domain. The default value is 0.

locations (optional) is a STRING scalar/vector. If the paramater locations was specified when the database was created, we can use locations to specify where the new partitions located.

Append new values to the partition scheme of a database.

This database must be of VALUE domain or of COMPO domain with at least one level of VALUE domain.

In the following example, we append (2017.08.12..2017.08.20) to the partition scheme of a database of COMPO domain.

n=1000000
ID=rand(100, n)
dates=2017.08.07..2017.08.11
date=rand(dates, n)
x=rand(10.0, n)
t=table(ID, date, x)

dbID=database(, RANGE, 0 50 100);
dbDate = database(, VALUE, 2017.08.07..2017.08.11)
db = database("dfs://compoDB", COMPO, [dbID, dbDate]);
pt = db.createPartitionedTable(t, `pt, `ID`date)
pt.append!(t)

addValuePartitions(db,2017.08.12..2017.08.20,1)
// output
9

To add new partitions consecutively without appending new data, we need to reload the database before each addValuePartitions operation.

db=database("dfs://compoDB")
pt=loadTable(db,"pt")

t1=table(0..99 as ID,take(2017.08.12,100) as date,rand(10.0,100) as x)
pt.append!(t1)

select count(*) from loadTable("dfs://compoDB","pt")
// output
1000100
