Install

openclaw skills install hologres-uv-compute

Prerequisites

This skill requires hologres-cli to be installed first:

pip install hologres-cli
export HOLOGRES_SKILL=hologres-uv-compute

All SQL execution and Dynamic Table operations depend on hologres-cli commands (hologres sql run --write, hologres dt create).

Hologres UV/PV Computation with Dynamic Table & RoaringBitmap

Build real-time, incremental UV/PV computation pipelines using Dynamic Tables and RoaringBitmap in Hologres. This approach supports flexible time-range aggregation over billions of records with low latency.

Why This Approach

Traditional COUNT DISTINCT	RoaringBitmap + Dynamic Table
Full scan on every query	Pre-aggregated bitmaps, incremental refresh
Slow with high-cardinality UIDs	Compressed bitmap, sub-second UV queries
Cannot merge across time ranges	`RB_OR_AGG` merges bitmaps for any date range
Heavy resource usage	Incremental computation, minimal resources

Quick Start

-- 1. Enable RoaringBitmap extension
CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS roaringbitmap;

-- 2. Create ODS detail table (source data)
BEGIN;
CREATE TABLE ods_app_detail (
  uid int,
  country text,
  prov text,
  city text,
  ymd text NOT NULL
) LOGICAL PARTITION BY LIST (ymd);
CALL set_table_property('ods_app_detail', 'orientation', 'column');
CALL set_table_property('ods_app_detail', 'distribution_key', 'uid');
CALL set_table_property('ods_app_detail', 'clustering_key', 'ymd');
CALL set_table_property('ods_app_detail', 'event_time_column', 'ymd');
CALL set_table_property('ods_app_detail', 'bitmap_columns', 'country,prov,city,ymd');
COMMIT;

-- 3. Create DWS Dynamic Table (bitmap aggregation layer)
CREATE DYNAMIC TABLE dt_dws_app_rb (
  country, prov, city, rb_uid, pv, ymd
)
LOGICAL PARTITION BY LIST (ymd)
WITH (
  freshness = '5 minutes',
  auto_refresh_mode = 'incremental',
  auto_refresh_partition_active_time = '2 days',
  partition_key_time_format = 'YYYYMMDD'
)
AS
SELECT country, prov, city,
       RB_BUILD_AGG(uid) AS rb_uid,
       COUNT(1) AS pv,
       ymd
FROM ods_app_detail
GROUP BY country, prov, city, ymd;

-- 4. Query UV/PV for a single day
SELECT country, prov, city,
       RB_CARDINALITY(RB_OR_AGG(rb_uid)) AS uv,
       SUM(pv) AS pv
FROM dt_dws_app_rb
WHERE ymd = '20251223'
GROUP BY country, prov, city;

Data flow:

Raw events flow into ods_app_detail (partitioned by day)
Dynamic Table dt_dws_app_rb incrementally aggregates UIDs into bitmaps per dimension per day
Queries merge bitmaps across any date range using RB_OR_AGG for exact UV

ODS Detail Table Design

The source table stores raw event data, partitioned by date.

BEGIN;
CREATE TABLE ods_app_detail (
  uid int,
  country text,
  prov text,
  city text,
  ymd text NOT NULL
) LOGICAL PARTITION BY LIST (ymd);

CALL set_table_property('ods_app_detail', 'orientation', 'column');
CALL set_table_property('ods_app_detail', 'distribution_key', 'uid');
CALL set_table_property('ods_app_detail', 'clustering_key', 'ymd');
CALL set_table_property('ods_app_detail', 'event_time_column', 'ymd');
CALL set_table_property('ods_app_detail', 'bitmap_columns', 'country,prov,city,ymd');
COMMIT;

Key design choices:

Property	Value	Reason
`orientation`	`column`	Columnar storage for analytical queries
`distribution_key`	`uid`	Distribute by user for aggregation locality
`clustering_key`	`ymd`	Optimize time-range scans
`event_time_column`	`ymd`	Segment key for partition pruning
`bitmap_columns`	dimension columns	Accelerate dimension filtering

DWS Dynamic Table (Bitmap Aggregation)

The Dynamic Table pre-aggregates UIDs into RoaringBitmaps per dimension per day using incremental refresh.

CREATE DYNAMIC TABLE dt_dws_app_rb (
  country, prov, city, rb_uid, pv, ymd
)
LOGICAL PARTITION BY LIST (ymd)
WITH (
  freshness = '5 minutes',
  auto_refresh_mode = 'incremental',
  auto_refresh_partition_active_time = '2 days',
  partition_key_time_format = 'YYYYMMDD'
)
AS
SELECT country, prov, city,
       RB_BUILD_AGG(uid) AS rb_uid,
       COUNT(1) AS pv,
       ymd
FROM ods_app_detail
GROUP BY country, prov, city, ymd;

Key Dynamic Table parameters:

Parameter	Value	Description
`freshness`	`5 minutes`	Target data freshness
`auto_refresh_mode`	`incremental`	Only compute new/changed data
`auto_refresh_partition_active_time`	`2 days`	Only auto-refresh recent 2 days
`partition_key_time_format`	`YYYYMMDD`	Parse partition key as date

Refresh Historical Partitions

Auto-refresh only covers active partitions. For historical data, trigger manually:

-- Full refresh a specific partition
REFRESH DYNAMIC TABLE dt_dws_app_rb
  PARTITION(20251201)
  WITH (refresh_mode = 'full');

-- Full refresh a date range (one by one)
REFRESH DYNAMIC TABLE dt_dws_app_rb
  PARTITION(20251201)
  WITH (refresh_mode = 'full');

UV/PV Queries

Single Day

SELECT country, prov, city,
       RB_CARDINALITY(RB_OR_AGG(rb_uid)) AS uv,
       SUM(pv) AS pv
FROM dt_dws_app_rb
WHERE ymd = '20251223'
GROUP BY country, prov, city;

Date Range (e.g., Monthly)

SELECT country, prov, city,
       RB_CARDINALITY(RB_OR_AGG(rb_uid)) AS uv,
       SUM(pv) AS pv
FROM dt_dws_app_rb
WHERE ymd >= '20251201' AND ymd <= '20251231'
GROUP BY country, prov, city;

Global UV (All Dimensions)

SELECT RB_CARDINALITY(RB_OR_AGG(rb_uid)) AS total_uv,
       SUM(pv) AS total_pv
FROM dt_dws_app_rb
WHERE ymd >= '20251201' AND ymd <= '20251231';

How it works: RB_OR_AGG merges daily bitmaps with bitwise OR — a user appearing on multiple days is counted only once. RB_CARDINALITY returns the count of distinct bits (= distinct users).

Text UID Encoding

When UIDs are text type (e.g., device IDs, UUIDs), they must be mapped to integers for RoaringBitmap. Two approaches:

Approach 1: Mapping Table (Manual)

-- Create mapping table
BEGIN;
CREATE TABLE uid_mapping (
  uid text NOT NULL,
  uid_int32 serial,
  PRIMARY KEY (uid)
);
CALL set_table_property('uid_mapping', 'orientation', 'row');
CALL set_table_property('uid_mapping', 'distribution_key', 'uid');
CALL set_table_property('uid_mapping', 'clustering_key', 'uid');
COMMIT;

-- Use in Dynamic Table
CREATE DYNAMIC TABLE dt_dws_app_rb (...)
AS
SELECT country, prov, city,
       RB_BUILD_AGG(m.uid_int32) AS uid_rb,
       COUNT(1) AS pv, ymd
FROM ods_app_detail o
JOIN uid_mapping m ON o.uid_text = m.uid
GROUP BY country, prov, city, ymd;

Approach 2: hg_id_encoding (V4.1+, Recommended)

Built-in function that auto-manages the mapping table.

-- Create mapping table (single text PK + one serial column)
BEGIN;
CREATE TABLE uid_mapping (
  uid text NOT NULL,
  uid_int32 serial,
  PRIMARY KEY (uid)
);
CALL set_table_property('uid_mapping', 'orientation', 'row');
CALL set_table_property('uid_mapping', 'distribution_key', 'uid');
COMMIT;

-- Use hg_id_encoding_int4 in Dynamic Table query
CREATE DYNAMIC TABLE dt_dws_app_rb (...)
AS
SELECT country, prov, city,
       RB_BUILD_AGG(hg_id_encoding_int4(uid_text, 'uid_mapping')) AS uid_rb,
       COUNT(1) AS pv, ymd
FROM ods_app_detail
GROUP BY country, prov, city, ymd;

Constraints for hg_id_encoding_int4:

Mapping table must have exactly: one text PK column + one serial column
Input UID must not be NULL
Requires Hologres V4.1+
Supports incremental refresh in Dynamic Tables

Best Practices

Always use LOGICAL PARTITION BY LIST (ymd) on both ODS and DWS tables for time-range partition pruning
Set auto_refresh_mode = 'incremental' to avoid recomputing all data on each refresh
Configure auto_refresh_partition_active_time to limit auto-refresh to recent partitions only
Manually refresh historical partitions with REFRESH DYNAMIC TABLE ... PARTITION(...) WITH (refresh_mode = 'full')
Use RB_OR_AGG for cross-day UV — it merges daily bitmaps for exact deduplication over any date range
For text UIDs, use hg_id_encoding_int4 (V4.1+) instead of manual mapping tables
Set distribution_key = 'uid' on ODS table for aggregation locality
Install extension first — CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS roaringbitmap before any bitmap operations
