GROUP_BY - AWS Glue DataBrew

GROUP_BY

Summarizes the data by grouping rows by one or more columns, and then applying an aggregation function to each group.

Parameters
  • sourceColumns — A JSON-encoded string representing a list of columns that form the basis of each group.

  • groupByAggFunctions — A JSON-encoded string representing a list of aggregation function to apply. (If you don't want aggregation, specify UNAGGREGATED.)

  • useNewDataFrame — If true, the results from GROUP_BY are made available in the project session, replacing its current contents.
