argMax

计算最大 val 值的 arg 值。如果有多行具有相等的最大 val，则返回的相关 arg 不具备确定性。两个部分 arg 和 max 都作为 聚合函数 行为，它们在处理过程中都 跳过 Null，并在有可用的非 Null 值时返回非 Null 值。

语法

argMax(arg, val)

参数

• arg — 参数。
• val — 值。

返回值

• 与最大 val 值相对应的 arg 值。

类型：与 arg 类型匹配。

示例

输入表：

┌─user─────┬─salary─┐
│ director │   5000 │
│ manager  │   3000 │
│ worker   │   1000 │
└──────────┴────────┘

查询：

SELECT argMax(user, salary) FROM salary;

结果：

┌─argMax(user, salary)─┐
│ director             │
└──────────────────────┘

│ b                   │ -- `Tuple` can be used in `Max` to not skip Nulls in `Max`
