Set Column

The SET-COLUMN directive sets the column value to the result of an expression execution.

Syntax

set-column <columm> <expression>
  • The <column> specifies the name of a column. If the column exists already, its value will be overwritten with the result of the specified expression. If the column does not exist, a new column will be created with the result of the specified expression.
  • The <expression> is a valid Apache Commons JEXL expression

Usage Notes

The SET-COLUMN directive sets the column value to the result of the execution of an expression.

Expressions are written in Apache Commons JEXL notation.

Functions from other namespaces (such as string and math) can be called by adding the namespace and a colon before the function, such as math:ceil or string:upperCase.

Examples

Using this record as an example:

{
  "first": "Root",
  "last": "Joltie",
  "age": "32",
  "hrlywage": "11.79",
}

Applying these directives:

set-column name concat(last, ", ", first)
set-column is_adult age > 21 ? 'yes' : 'no'
set-column salary hrlywage*40*50
set column raised_hrlywage var x; x = math:ceil(FLOAT(hrlywage)); x + 1
set column salutation string:upperCase(concat(first, ' ', last))

would result in this record:

{
  "first": "Root",
  "last": "Joltie",
  "age": "32",
  "hrlywage": "11.79",
  "name": "Joltie, Root",
  "is_adult": "yes",
  "salary": 23580.0,
  "raised_hrlywage": 13.0,
  "salutation": "ROOT JOLTIE"
}
