Concept of Min/Max
This feature is available for users of Cloudera Data Warehouse release August 27, 2021
or later. In addition to filtering at the partition level, the Parquet file format supports
filtering at three levels: row group, page and row levels based on the minimum and
maximum values of row group or page, and the value of the row in the file. These
minimum/maximum column values are stored in the footer of the file. If the range
between the minimum and maximum value in the file does not overlap with the range of
data specified by the query, then the system skips the row group, page or row during
scans.

CDW August 27, 2021 release enables min/max filters, by default, for equi-joins on
lexical (leading column) or Z-Order (all columns) sorted columns in a Parquet table
created by Impala. When such a sorted column is also the equi- join column, the
min/max values in the filter are computed from the hash table build side and applied to
the sorted column. In this way, the user can take advantage of Impala sorting the
min/max values in column index in each data file for the table by quickly eliminating
non-matching row groups, pages or rows. The query option minmax_filter_sorted_columns
which defaults to true can be used to control the feature. When
minmax_filter_sorted_columns is true, the patch will generate min/max filters only for the
sort columns. The normal control knobs minmax_filter_threshold (for threshold) and
minmax_filtering_level (for filtering level) will also continue to work. When the threshold is
0, the patch automatically assigns a reasonable value for the threshold, and selects
PAGE to be the filtering level.

In the backend, the skipped pages are quickly found by taking a fast code path to
identify the corresponding lower and the upper bounds in the sorted min and max value
arrays, given a range in the filter. The skipped pages are expressed as page ranges
which are translated into row ranges later on.

A new query option minmax_filter_fast_code_path is added to control the work of the fast
code path. This option can be assigned one of these three values ON (default), OFF, or
VERIFICATION. The last value helps verify that the results from both the fast and the
regular code path are the same.

The following example shows how min/max filtering on leading sort-by columns
improves the performance of scan operators greatly.
select straight_join a.l_orderkey from
simpflified_lineitem a join [SHUFFLE] tpch_parquet.lineitem b

where a.l_orderkey = b.l_orderkey and b.l_receiptdate = "1998-12-31"

When this query is run on pages containing no more than 24000 rows, the results with
different filtering options are as shown here:

● 84.62ms (page level filtering)


● 115.27ms (row group level filtering)
● 137.14ms (no filtering)

The FILTER function

It allows you to filter a range of data based on criteria you define. Play. In the
following example we used the formula =FILTER(A5:D20,C5:C20=H2,"") to return all
records for Apple, as selected in cell H2, and if there are no apples, return an empty
string ("").

Slicers provide buttons that you can click to filter tables, or PivotTables. In addition to
quick filtering, slicers also indicate the current filtering state, which makes it easy to
understand what exactly is currently displayed.
Concept of Google Drive
It is a free cloud-based storage service that enables users to store and access
files online. The service syncs stored documents, photos and more across all of the
user's devices, including mobile devices, tablets and PCs.

Features of google drive


1. Team collaboration
One of Google Drive’s greatest features is the ability to collaborate with others on documents,
spreadsheets, presentations and drawings. Up to 50 people can work on the same document
simultaneously, from wherever they are, using any device. You can see who is currently working
on the document and you can watch their changes as they happen – gone are the days of
multiple versions of the same document flying around!
A revision history lets you go back and see which changes were made by which person, and
when. So you never have to worry about someone deleting something that they shouldn’t have.
There’s even a more detailed revision history which takes you through the changes as they
happened.
Google Drive see revision history Google Drive revision history
Google Drive suggesting mode
If you don’t want someone to make changes to your document without you checking them first,
then you can ask them to add comments instead, or get them to change the document to
‘suggesting’ mode. This way, their changes appear in a different colour, and you have to
approve them (a bit like track changes in MS Word).
Google Drive add comments
And if a number of people are working on the same document, then the chat function becomes
really useful. Click the chat icon in the top right and chat without leaving the document.

2. Share with people outside your organisation


Files and folders can be shared with up to 200 email addresses for viewing, commenting and /
or editing. But you can also share with people outside of your organisation.*
You can easily invite people to share your files and folders by adding their email address, but
make sure you click the drop-down arrow to choose whether they have permission to view,
comment, or edit the file or folder.
Google Drive sharing settings
One thing to note. if you invite people to edit, then by default, editors are allowed to add people
and change the permissions. To prevent this from happening, click ‘advanced’ in the bottom
right and then change the setting at the bottom.

You can also make documents public so that anyone can access the file or folder on the internet
through search results or the web address. However, if you are a Google Apps customer, your
domain’s default setting might not allow you to do this.
*Unless, of course, your administrator has set it up so that users can’t invite people outside the
organisation to view, comment on, or edit files at all.

3. Advanced search features


If you use Google Drive a lot, then you may have a large number of documents you have
stored, or have had shared with you. Sometimes it can be tricky to remember where you put a
certain document or folder. This is where the advanced search features come in handy.
Google allows you to search for files and folders that contain certain words in their title or
content. Take this a step further, and using the right search strings, you can search for
documents shared from a specific person, documents you have shared with a particular person,
the type of document, documents edited on a certain date, and more.
Check out the below table of useful search strings:
Google Drive advanced search
Bear in mind, if you are searching for a document owned or shared by a specific person, or
shared with a particular person, you must enter their full email address, not simply their name.

4. Drag and drop uploads


You can of course upload files by clicking the big red “New” button and browsing to the file you
want to upload, but why waste time with that when you can simply drag and drop files for
automatic upload? This is a great time saver if you are uploading a lot of files into your Drive.

5. Use the mobile app to scan straight to your drive


The Google Drive app is really useful. Download it for free and then, when you’re out and about
and you see something you want to save on your Drive, you can use your camera to scan an
image and save it straight to your Drive. Particularly useful if you see an advert, sign, or
business card at an event.
Google Drive scan from mobile
Google also has Optical Character Recognition (OCR) functionality to turn images / PDF files
with text into text files. If you go into your Drive, right click on the scanned image or PDF file,
then click “Open with Google Docs” then it will create a new document which includes the text
extracted from the image. You will end up with the image, and underneath, the extracted text
which means it is now searchable in Google Drive. You do have to make sure your image is nice
and clear though.

6. Starred folders and files


If you use Google Drive to store a large number of folders and files, then it can get a bit tricky to
find them. Star the ones you need to access regularly to speed up the process of finding them.
Right click on a folder or file, and select “Add star”. Now you can find them quickly by accessing
the “Starred” folder.
Similarly, you can access your “Recent” folder to find the files and folders you were most
recently working on.

7. Automatically convert uploaded files to Google Docs editor format


If you want to be able to edit files that you have uploaded to Drive, such as Word documents,
then they first need to be converted into an editable format (i.e. a Google Doc). If you regularly
upload different file formats into Drive, and then open them in Google Docs / Sheets each time,
then you may find this feature useful.
If you go into Settings, then you can tick the box “Convert uploaded files to Google Docs editor
format”. This will automatically convert all your files for you.

8. View any type of file


Google Drive is great for viewing almost any type of file. You can quickly view many file types
including videos, PDFs, Microsoft Office files, and many image file types. This is really useful if
you don’t have the software on your computer to open a file, but only need to view it, rather than
edit it.
If you need to open certain files for editing, then you will need to use one of the apps from
Google’s extensive Apps list.
Google Drive top tipTo preview multiple files at the same time, hold down the shift key while
selecting files, then click the eye symbol. Use the cursor keys or the arrows at the sides to
navigate through your files.

9. The great add-ons


Google Drive offers lots of additional functionality for your documents in the form of add-ons.
There are loads to choose from, many of which are free. For example, ProWritingAid helps to
improve your writing by checking your grammar and inconsistencies, etc. Take a look – you may
find something really useful!

10. The research pane


In Google Docs, there’s a great little feature called the Research Pane. By clicking ‘Tools’, then
‘Research’, you bring up the pane which allows you to search Google web results without
leaving your document. This is particularly useful if you don’t have two monitors and don’t want
to keep switching between two windows. From here, you can preview web pages, insert links
into your document, or cite references really easily.
