Read Primitives — Approximate Median

Read Primitives benchmark · all Read Primitives queries

Approximate statistical function (PERCENTILE_CONT for median)

Representative SQL

Rendered for DataFusion with default parameters.

SELECT
l_shipmode,
APPROX_PERCENTILE_CONT(l_quantity, 0.5) AS median_quantity
FROM lineitem
GROUP BY
l_shipmode

Representative DataFrame

Expression family (Polars, PySpark, DataFusion), default parameters.

def impl(ctx: DataFrameContext) -> Any:
return aggregation_groupby_impl(
ctx,
table_name=table_name,
group_cols=group_cols,
agg_specs=agg_specs,
conditions=conditions,
sort_cols=sort_cols,
sort_desc=sort_desc,
limit=limit,
)

Get the exact query for your run

The blocks above are representative. To get the precise statement a specific platform runs at a specific scale, substitute your own values:

from benchbox import ReadPrimitives
bench = ReadPrimitives(scale_factor=0.01) # your scale factor
queries = bench.get_queries(dialect="datafusion") # your platform's dialect; drop dialect= for native SQL
print(queries['approx_quantile_groupby'])

For the DataFrame form:

from benchbox.core.query_catalog import get_dataframe_render
print(get_dataframe_render('read_primitives', 'approx_quantile_groupby', family="expression").source) # or family="pandas"
