h3_minchild
function
Returns the child of minimum value of the input H3 cell at the specified resolution.
Applies to: Databricks SQL preview Databricks Runtime 11.3 LTS and above
Arguments
h3CellIdExpr
: A BIGINT expression, or a hexadecimal STRING expression representing an H3 cell ID.resolutionExpr
: An INT expression, whose value is expected to be betweenh3_resolution(h3CellIdExpr)
and15
inclusive, specifying the resolution of the child H3 cell ID.
Returns
A value of the same type as the type of the h3CellIdExpr
expression, corresponding to the child of minimum value of the input H3 cell ID at the specified resolution.
The function returns NULL if any of the two 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 resolutionExpr
is equal to the resolution of the input H3 cell ID, the input H3 cell ID is returned.
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
resolutionExpr
is smaller thanh3_resolution(h3CellIdExpr)
or larger than15
, the function returns H3_INVALID_RESOLUTION_VALUE.
Examples
-- Simple example taking a long as input.
> SELECT h3_minchild(599686042433355775, 10)
622204039496499199
-- Simple example taking a valid hexadecimal string as input.
> SELECT h3_minchild('85283473fffffff', 10)
8a2834700007fff
-- First input is an invalid H3 cell ID.
> SELECT h3_minchild(0, 15)
[H3_INVALID_CELL_ID] 0 is not a valid H3 cell ID
-- Second input is an invalid resolution value.
> SELECT h3_minchild('85283473fffffff', 4)
[H3_INVALID_RESOLUTION_VALUE] H3 resolution 4 must be between 5 and 15, inclusive
