The DISTRIBUTE BY clause is used to repartition the data based on the input expressions. Unlike the CLUSTER BY clause, this does not sort the data within each partition.

Syntax

{% highlight sql %} DISTRIBUTE BY { expression [ , ... ] } {% endhighlight %}

Parameters

expression
Specifies combination of one or more values, operators and SQL functions that results in a value.

Examples

{% highlight sql %} CREATE TABLE person (name STRING, age INT); INSERT INTO person VALUES ('Zen Hui', 25), ('Anil B', 18), ('Shone S', 16), ('Mike A', 25), ('John A', 18), ('Jack N', 16);

-- Reduce the number of shuffle partitions to 2 to illustrate the behavior of DISTRIBUTE BY. -- It's easier to see the clustering and sorting behavior with less number of partitions. SET spark.sql.shuffle.partitions = 2;

-- Select the rows with no ordering. Please note that without any sort directive, the result -- of the query is not deterministic. It's included here to just contrast it with the -- behavior of DISTRIBUTE BY. The query below produces rows where age columns are not -- clustered together. SELECT age, name FROM person;

+---+-------+ |age|name | +---+-------+ |16 |Shone S| |25 |Zen Hui| |16 |Jack N | |25 |Mike A | |18 |John A | |18 |Anil B | +---+-------+

-- Produces rows clustered by age. Persons with same age are clustered together. -- Unlike CLUSTER BY clause, the rows are not sorted within a partition. SELECT age, name FROM person DISTRIBUTE BY age;

+---+-------+ |age|name | +---+-------+ |25 |Zen Hui| |25 |Mike A | |18 |John A | |18 |Anil B | |16 |Shone S| |16 |Jack N | +---+-------+ {% endhighlight %}
