compute: Force execution of an Impala query

In implyr: R Interface for Apache Impala

Description

compute()

Executes the query and stores the result in a new Impala table

collect()

Executes the query and returns the result to R as a data frame tbl

collapse()

Generates the query for later execution

Usage

## S3 method for class 'tbl_impala'
compute(
  x,
  name,
  temporary = TRUE,
  unique_indexes = NULL,
  indexes = NULL,
  analyze = FALSE,
  external = FALSE,
  overwrite = FALSE,
  force = FALSE,
  field_terminator = NULL,
  line_terminator = NULL,
  file_format = NULL,
  ...
)

## S3 method for class 'tbl_impala'
collect(x, ..., n = Inf, warn_incomplete = TRUE)

## S3 method for class 'tbl_impala'
collapse(x, vars = NULL, ...)

Arguments

x	an object with class tbl_impala
name	the name for the new Impala table
temporary	must be set to FALSE
unique_indexes	not used
indexes	not used
analyze	whether to run COMPUTE STATS after adding data to the new table
external	whether the new table will be externally managed
overwrite	whether to overwrite existing table data (currently ignored)
force	whether to silently fail if the table already exists
field_terminator	the deliminter to use between fields in text file data. Defaults to the ASCII control-A (hex 01) character
line_terminator	the line terminator. Defaults to "\n"
file_format	the storage format to use. Options are "TEXTFILE" (default) and "PARQUET"
...	other arguments passed on to methods
n	the number of rows to return
warn_incomplete	whether to issue a warning if not all rows retrieved
vars	not used

Note

Impala does not support temporary tables. When using compute() to store results in an Impala table, you must set temporary = FALSE.
