If your data stored in Table Store is uniquely structured and you want to define development logic to process each line of data (for example, parsing a specific JSON string), you can use User Defined Function (UDF).

Procedure

  1. Follow the MaxCompute Studio to install MaxCompute-Java/MaxCompute-Studio plug-in in IntelliJ. Development may be started when the plug-in is installed.

    The following figure shows a simple UDF definition, which connects two strings. MaxCompute supports more complex UDF, for example, user-defined window execution logic. For more information, see Develop and debug UDF.



  2. Upload the resource to MaxCompute after packaging.

    Select File > Project Structure > Artifacts. Enter the Name and the Output directory, then click + to select the output module. After packaging, upload the resource and create a function using ODPS Project Explorer, and then you can call it in SQL.



  3. Run bin/odpscmd.bat.
    // Select a line of data, and pass name/name into the UDF. A connection of the two strings is returned.
select cloud_metric_extract_md5(name, name) as udf_test from test_table limit 1;

    The returned result is displayed as follows.
