i have table like below:
itm numbr
1 2
11 21
NULL 31
12 41
NULL 51
13 61
i want to output with itm,numbr and with extra column as mentioned below:
itm numbr incr
1 2 1
11 21 1
NULL 31 2
12 41 2
NULL 51 3
13 61 3
the incr should increase its value only when ITM is equal to NULL else it should display the same value as previous value.
1. i have tried with row_sequence
select itm,numbr,row_sequence() as incr from tablename;
but it displays 1,2,3,4,5,6.
2. then i have tried with
select itm,numbr,case when itm=NULL then row_sequence()+1 else row_sequence() end as incr from table;
it throws error "FAILED: RuntimeException org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.metadata.HiveException: Stateful expressions cannot be used inside of CASE".
please advice me. tia.
