LOG10() function in Apache Pig
- The LOG10() function of Pig Latin is used to calculate the natural logarithm base 10 value of a given expression.
Syntax
grunt> LOG10(expression)
Example
- Ensure that you have a file named wikitechy_math.txt in the HDFS directory /pig_data/.
- This file contains integer and floating point values as given below.
wikitechy_math.txt
5
16
9
2.5
5.9
3.1
- You have loaded this file into Pig with a relation named math_data as given below.
grunt> math_data = LOAD 'hdfs://localhost:9000/pig_data/wikitechy_math.txt' USING PigStorage(',')
as (data:float);
- Now you can calculate the log10 values of the contents of the wikitechy_math.txt file using LOG10() function as given below.
grunt> log_data = foreach math_data generate (data),LOG10(data);
Verification
- Verify the contents of the relation using the Dump operator as given below.
grunt> Dump log10_data;
Output
- The above statement stores the result in the relation named log_data.
