h3_kring
function
Applies to: Databricks SQL Databricks Runtime 11.3 LTS and above
Returns the H3 cells that are within (grid) distance k
of the origin cell. The set of these H3 cells is called the k
-ring of the origin cell.
Arguments
h3CellIdExpr
: A BIGINT expression, or a hexadecimal STRING expression representing an H3 cell ID.kExpr
: An INTEGER expression representing the grid distance.kExpr
must be non-negative.
Returns
An ARRAY of values of the same type as the type of the h3CellIdExpr
expression, corresponding to the H3 cell IDs that have the same resolution as the input H3 cell and are within grid distance k
of the input H3 cell, where k
is the value of the kExpr
.
The function returns NULL if any one of the input expressions is NULL.
The function does partial validation regarding whether the input argument is a valid H3 cell ID. A necessary, but not sufficient condition for a valid H3 ID is that its value is between 0x08001fffffffffff
and 0x08ff3b6db6db6db6
.
The behavior of the function is undefined if the input cell ID is not a valid cell ID.
If the value of the grid distance is zero, the returned array contains a single value equal to the input H3 cell ID.
Error conditions
If
h3CellIdExpr
is a STRING that cannot be converted to a BIGINT or corresponds to a BIGINT value that is smaller than0x08001fffffffffff
or larger than0x08ff3b6db6db6db6
, the function returns H3_INVALID_CELL_ID.If
kExpr
is negative, the function returns H3_INVALID_GRID_DISTANCE_VALUE.
Examples
-- Simple example where the first argument is a BIGINT.
> SELECT h3_kring(599686042433355775, 1)

-- Simple example where the first argument is a STRING.
> SELECT h3_kring('85283473fffffff', 1)
[85283473fffffff,85283447fffffff,8528347bfffffff,85283463fffffff,85283477fffffff,8528340ffffffff,8528340bfffffff]
-- First input is an invalid H3 cell ID.
> SELECT h3_kring(0, 0)
[H3_INVALID_CELL_ID] 0 is not a valid H3 cell ID
-- Second input is an invalid grid distance value.
> SELECT h3_kring('85283473fffffff', -1)
[H3_INVALID_GRID_DISTANCE_VALUE] H3 grid distance -1 must be non-negative
