Functions
You must enable fielddata in the document mapping for most string functions to work properly.
The specification shows the return type of the function with a generic type T
as the argument. For example, abs(number T) -> T
means that the function abs
accepts a numerical argument of type T
, which could be any subtype of the number
type, and it returns the actual type of T
as the return type.
The SQL plugin supports the following common functions shared across the SQL and PPL languages.
