Privileges
Your privileges to execute the Tanzu Greenplum Text functions depend on your Greenplum Database privileges for the table from which the index is generated. For example, if you have SELECT privileges for a table in the Greenplum database, you have SELECT privileges for an index generated from that table.
Executing index functions requires one of OWNER, SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE privileges, depending on the function. The OWNER is the person who created the table and has all privileges. See the Security section of the Tanzu Greenplum Text User's Guide for information about setting privileges.
The Privileges required section for each of the Tanzu Greenplum Text functions specifies the privileges required to execute that function.
Usage
The gptext functions in this section must be executed as SQL queries in the form:
SELECT * FROM gptext.function();
The examples in this document use a Greenplum database named demo set up as follows:
- A table named
articlesin thewikipediaschema. - A table named
messagein thetwitterschema.
See Setting Up the Sample Database for details about these tables.
Indexing
Indexing functions create, set up, populate, and finalize (commit) Solr indexes.
gptext.create_index()
Creates an empty Solr index.
Syntax
gptext.create_index(<schema_name>, <table_name>, <id_col_name>,
<def_search_col_name> [, <if_check_id_uniqueness>])
or
gptext.create_index(<schema_name>, <table_name>, <p_columns>, <p_types>,
<id_col_name>, <def_search_col_name> [, <if_check_id_uniqueness>])
Parameters
<schema_name>
The name of the schema in the Greenplum database.
<table_name>
The name of the table in the Greenplum database. To include all subpartitions of a partitioned table in the index, specify the name of the root table.
<p_columns>
A text array containing the names of the table columns to index. If <p_columns> and <p_types> are omitted, all table columns are indexed.
The columns must be valid columns in the table. The columns identified by the <id_col_name> and <def_search_col_name> must be included in the array.
If the <p_columns> parameter is supplied, the <p_types> parameter must also be supplied. The sizes of the <p_columns> and <p_types> arrays must be the same.
<p_types>
A text array containing the Solr data types of the columns in the <p_columns> array.
Text types can be mapped to the name of an analyzer chain, for example <text_intl>, <text_sm>, or any type defined in the <managed_schema>. See Map Greenplum Database Data Types to Solr Data Types for equivalent Solr data types for other Greenplum types.
The <p_types> parameter must be supplied if the <p_columns> parameter is supplied.
<id_col_name>
The name of a column in <table_name> that is unique for each row. The column must be of type int4, int8, varchar, text, or uuid.
<def_search_col_name>
The name of the default column to search in <table_name>, if no other column is named in a query.
<if_check_id_uniqueness>
Optional. A Boolean value. The default is true. Set to false to index a table with a non-unique ID field.
Return type
boolean
Privileges required
Only the OWNER can execute this function.
Remarks
A Tanzu Greenplum Text index is a Solr collection.
The name of the index created has the format:
<database_name>.<schema_name>.<table_name>
The contents of the <id_col_name> column should, in most cases, be a unique ID for each row. It must be of type int4, int8, varchar, or text.
The index is broken up into sections called shards. By default, Tanzu Greenplum Text indexes have one shard per Greenplum Database segment. You can create an index with fewer shards by setting the Tanzu Greenplum Text configuration parameter gptext.idx_num_shards to the number of shards before you create the index. See Specifying the Number of Index Shards for more information.
A shard can contain a maximum of 2147483519 documents, so the maximum number of documents a Tanzu Greenplum Text index can contain is 2147483519 times the number of shards.
If the <if_check_id_uniqueness> argument is true, the default, a document with an ID matching an existing ID cannot be added to the index.
If the <if_check_id_uniqueness> argument is false, documents with duplicate IDs are allowed to be added to the index. The content of other fields may or may not be the same as existing documents with the same ID. When a query returns multiple documents with the same ID, it is the user's responsibility to anticipate and handle the multiple documents. For example, a table could have a revision column that is incremented when a new version of a document is added to the index, allowing queries that omit all but the most recent version from search results.
The gptext.terms() function is not supported with indexes created with the <if_check_id_uniqueness> argument set to false because term vectors require unique document IDs.
Tanzu Greenplum Text does not support indexes with fewer shards than the number of Greenplum Database segments with the <if_check_id_uniqueness> argument set to false.
If you specify the name of the root partition for a partitioned table, the Tanzu Greenplum Text index created for the table will contain records for all partitions. The index records for documents added to the index have a __partition field containing the name of the child partition table. See Searching Partitioned Tables for syntax to search by partitions.
Populate the new index with gptext.index().
The number of replicas for each shard is determined when the index is created. It is the value of the gptext.replication_factor server configuration parameter, 2 by default.
If the gptext.failover_factor server configuration parameter is set, gptext.create_index() fails if the ratio of the number of Tanzu Greenplum Text nodes that are up to the total number of Tanzu Greenplum Text nodes is less than the gptext.failover_factor value (from 0.0 to 1.0). Index shards can only be created on active Tanzu Greenplum Text nodes, so the gptext.failover_factor parameter prevents overloading the active Tanzu Greenplum Text nodes when too many nodes are down.
Examples
Create an index,
demo.wikipedia.articles, withcontentas the default search field.=# SELECT * FROM gptext.create_index('wikipedia', 'articles', 'id', 'content');Create an index,
demo.wikipedia.articles, withcontentas the default search field. Index theid,content, andtitlefields.=# SELECT * FROM gptext.create_index('wikipedia', 'articles', '{"id", "content", "title"}', '{"long", "text", "text"}', 'id', 'content');
gptext.create_index_external()
Creates an empty Solr index for external documents.
Syntax
gptext.create_index_external(<index_name>)
Parameters
<index_name>
The name of the index to create. The name cannot contain periods (.).
Notes
A Tanzu Greenplum Text external index is a Solr index for documents external to Greenplum Database, for example, PDF, Microsoft Word, XML, and HTML files. Unlike regular Tanzu Greenplum Text indexes, external indexes are not associated with a Greenplum Database table, but they can be searched with Tanzu Greenplum Text search functions.
Like regular Tanzu Greenplum Text indexes, an external index by default has one shard per Greenplum Database segment. To create an external index with fewer shards, set the gptext.idx_num_shards configuration parameter to the desired number of shards before you create the index. See Specifying the Number of Index Shards for more information.
Example
=# SELECT * FROM gptext.create_index_external('gptext-docs');
gptext.index()
Populates an index by indexing data in a table.
Syntax
gptext.index(TABLE(SELECT * FROM <table_name>), <index_name>)
Parameters
TABLE(<select-statement>)
The document content to be indexed, with data type anytable. <index_name>
Name of the index that was created with gptext.create_index() and is to be populated.
Return type
SETOF dbid INT, num_docs BIGINT
where dbid is the dbid of the segment that the documents were sent to, and num_docs is the number of documents that were indexed.
Privileges required
You must have the INSERT or UPDATE privilege to execute this function.
Remarks
<index_name> must have been created with gptext.create_index().
The first argument to gptext.index() is a table expression specifying rows to add to the index. To write this argument, wrap a SELECT statement in a TABLE function to select rows to pass to the gptext.index() function. For example, TABLE(SELECT * FROM articles) is a table expression that indexes all columns and rows of the articles table. The gptext.index() function adds each row of the SELECT result set as a document in the Tanzu Greenplum Text index.
You can selectively index table columns by changing the SELECT list in the query and you can filter rows to index with a WHERE clause.
The SELECT statement does not have to query the base table that was specified when the Tanzu Greenplum Text index was created, but the results of the query must have the same columns and distribution policy. For example, you can index rows from a temporary table with the same definition as the base table. Or you could index the results from a join query that produces the same columns as the base table. If the results have a different distribution key, or no distribution key, as is the case with a join query, you must specify a compatible distribution policy by adding a SCATTER BY <column> to the SELECT STATEMENT. You can specify the column by name or by column number.
The output of the gptext.index() function includes a two-column table with dbid (the Greenplum segment ID) and num_docs (the number of documents added to the index shard for that segment) as the columns.
After adding documents to the index, you must commit the index with gptext.commit_index(<index_name>).
Example
=# SELECT * FROM gptext.index(TABLE(SELECT * FROM wikipedia.articles), 'demo.wikipedia.articles');
dbid | num_docs
------+----------
3 | 6
2 | 5
(2 rows)
gptext.index_external()
Adds documents stored outside of Greenplum Database to a Tanzu Greenplum Text external index.
Syntax
gptext.index_external(<url-list>, <index-name>)
Parameters
<url-list>
A list of URLs for documents to add to the Tanzu Greenplum Text external index. The URLs may be expressed as an array or as a table-valued expression.
<index-name>
The name of the index to which the documents are to be added.
Remarks
If the documents to add to the Tanzu Greenplum Text external index are in a store that requires authentication, use the gptext.external_login() function to log in to the document store before you execute gptext.index_external().
If the document cannot be retrieved at the given URL, or an error occurs while indexing the document, Tanzu Greenplum Text inserts a row in the gptext.error_table table. You can use gptext.recreate_error_table() to create an empty error table before you call gptext.index().
The value of the Tanzu Greenplum Text custom server parameter gptext.idx_segment_error_limit (default 10) is the number of errors that can occur on any one segment before the indexing operation is canceled.
When adding a document to an external index, Tanzu Greenplum Text calculates a 256-bit hash on the contents of the document. The hash is stored as a 64-byte hexadecimal value in the sha256 field. If you later add a document with a URL matching an existing document in the index, the new document is only added to the index if the newly calculated hash differs from the current value in the sha256 field.
Examples
This example adds a single PDF document to the index gptext-docs.
=# SELECT * FROM gptext.index_external(
'{http://gptext.docs.pivotal.io/archives/GPText-docs-213.pdf}',
'gptext-docs');
dbid | num_docs
------+----------
3 | 0
2 | 1
(2 rows)
This example adds multiple HTML documents to the gptext-docs external index by selecting URLs from a database table. Errors will be logged in the gptext.gptext_errrors table.
=# DROP TABLE IF EXISTS gptext_html_docs;
=# CREATE TABLE gptext_html_docs (
id bigint,

gptext.index_external_dir()
Adds all documents in a directory in an external document source to a Tanzu Greenplum Text external index.
Syntax
gptext.index_external_dir(<directory_url>, <index_name>)
Parameters
<directory_url>
The URL for the directory with documents to add to the index.
<index_name>
The name of the Tanzu Greenplum Text external index to which the documents are to be added.
Remarks
The gptext.index_external_dir() function adds the documents in a directory and its subdirectories to a Tanzu Greenplum Text external index.
Log in to the document source using the gptext.external_login() function before you call the gptext.index_external_dir() function.
If you specify a file instead of a directory, an error is added to the gptext.error_table table.
The ID for each file added to the index is the URL for the file in the external document source.
The Apache Tika library discovers the content_type for each file.
The user who logs in to the external document source must have read permissions on the directory. The gptext.index_external_dir() function adds to the index only those documents and subdirectories that the user has permission to read.
Example
This example adds documents from a directory in an hdfs store to the Tanzu Greenplum Text webdocs external index.
#= SELECT * FROM gptext.external_login('hdfs', 'hdfs://myhadoop:9000', 'myhadoop');

gptext.commit_index()
Finishes an index operation. The results of an indexing operation are not available until this function is called for the index.
Syntax
gptext.commit_index(<index_name>)
Parameters
<index_name>
The name of the index to commit. If the table is partitioned this must be the name of the root table.
Return type
boolean
Privileges required
You must have the INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE privilege to execute this function.
Remarks
Must be called after gptext.index() and gptext.delete().
Example
=# SELECT * FROM gptext.commit_index('demo.wikipedia.articles');
commit_index
--------------
t
(1 row)
gptext.extract_rich_doc()
Retrieves metadata and content from an external document but does not add the content to the Tanzu Greenplum Text external index.
Syntax
gptext.extract_rich_doc(<index-name>, <document-url>)
Parameters
<index-name> The name of the external index to test. Metadata and content are extracted from the document using the current Solr configuration files for this index.
<document-url> The URL for the document to extract.
Return type
| Column | Type |
|---|---|
| stream_name | text |
| title | text |
| author | text |
| keywords | text |
| created | text |
| modified | text |
| content | text |
Remarks
The gptext.extract_rich_doc() function can be used while testing or troubleshooting to verify the metadata and content extracted from external documents. The external document is not added to the Tanzu Greenplum Text external index. For example, you can use this function to test that changes you make to the solrconfig.xml configuration file for the index have the desired effect.
If the document is in a document store that requires authentication, you must first log in using gptext.external_login().
The stream_name column is the same as the <document-url> function parameter. If the document is added to the index, this will be the unique document ID.
The title, author, keywords, created, and modified columns contain metadata dependent on the document type Apache Tika detects.
The content column contains the extracted document content.
Examples
View the metadata and content that would be extracted from an HTML document.
=# SELECT * FROM gptext.extract_rich_doc('gptext-docs', 'http://gptext.docs.pivotal.io/latest/topics/intro.html');View the text extracted from an image file when the Tesseract optical character recognition (OCR) engine has been installed on the Greenplum Database cluster.
=# SELECT * FROM gptext.extract_rich_doc('gptext-docs', 'http://gptext.docs.pivotal.io/latest/graphics/ocrtest.png');See Indexing Text Embedded in Images for information about setting up OCR for external image files and documents with embedded images.
gptext.recreate_error_table()
Drops and recreates the gptext.error_table database table.
Syntax
gptext.recreate_error_table()
Return type
Boolean
Remarks
If an error occurs while accessing a document to add to a Tanzu Greenplum Text external index, Tanzu Greenplum Text adds a record to the gptext.error_table table. See gptext.error_table for a description of this table. Users should not drop or modify the table.
Rows added to the gptext.error_table table remain until you use the gptext.recreate_error_table() function to create a new empty table.
If you attempt to execute gptext.recreate_error_table() while it is in use for an indexing operation, a warning is raised and the function returns false without recreating the table.
Examples
=# SELECT gptext.recreate_error_table();

Authenticating with External Document Sources
To add documents from a document source that requires authentication, such as Hadoop, an ftp server, or Amazon S3 or other S3-compatible storage, log in before adding documents to a Tanzu Greenplum Text index and log out when done.
gptext.external_login()
Logs in to an external document source before adding documents from the source to a Tanzu Greenplum Text external index.
Syntax
gptext.external_login(<type>, <url>, <config-name>)
Parameters
<type>
Identifies the type of the external document source. The valid types are 'ftp', 'hdfs', and 's3'. The type is not case-sensitive.
<url> The URL of the external document source.
<config-name> The name of the configuration uploaded with the gptext-external upload utility command.
Remarks
You can log in to only one external document source at a time.
Use the gptext-external list command to list the configurations that have been uploaded.
Examples
Log in to an hdfs file system using the myhdfs configuration.
=# SELECT * FROM gptext.external_login('HDFS', 'hdfs://198.51.100.23:19000', 'myhdfs');
Log in to a ftp server using the myftp configuration.
=# SELECT gptext.external_login('ftp', 'ftp://198.51.100.23', 'myftp');
The S3 connection <url> has the format <protocol>://<s3-endpoint>[/<region>][/].
Amazon S3 — The
<protocol>iss3. If the<s3-endpoint>begins withs3-ors3.and is followed by a region code, for examples3-us-east-1.amazonaws.comors3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com, the/<region>part of the URL is not required. An endpoint likes3.dualstack.us-east-1.amazonaws.com, however, must include the region code at the end:s3://s3.dualstack.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/us-east-1. See Amazon AWS Regions and Endpoints for a list of valid S3 endpoints by region.Example: Log in to Amazon S3 using the
mys3configuration.=# SELECT gptext.external_login('s3', 's3://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com', 'mys3');Other S3-compatible storage —
<protocol>identifies the login protocol. For example, when you access MinIO, the<protocol>may behttporhttps. The<s3-endpoint>is an endpoint that identifies the server. The<region>/part of the URL is optional, and depends on the configuration of the S3 storage server.Example: Log in to MinIO using the
myminioconfiguration.=# SELECT gptext.external_login('s3', 'http://my.minio.server:9000', 'myminio');
gptext.external_logout()
Logs out of an external document source after adding documents from the source to a Tanzu Greenplum Text external index.
Syntax
gptext.external_logout(<type>)
Parameters
<type>
Identifies the type of the external document source. The supported types are 'ftp', 'hdfs', and 's3'. The type is not case-sensitive.
Remarks
You can log in to only one external document source at a time. To index documents from another source, you must first call gptext.external_logout() and then log in to the new source with gptext.external_login().
Example
Log out of an hdfs file system.
=# SELECT * FROM gptext.external_logout('HDFS');
Log out of an ftp server.
=# SELECT gptext.external_logout('ftp');
Log out of S3.
=# SELECT gptext.external_logout('s3');
Modifying or Deleting an Index
You can change an index by adding or dropping fields, reverting an index to its previous state, or deleting the index.
gptext.add_field()
Adds a field to your schema if the field was added to the database after the index was created.
Syntax
gptext.add_field(<index_name>, <field_name>[, <is_default_search_col> [, <if_enable_terms>]])
Parameters
<index_name>
The name of the index to which you want to add the field. If the table is partitioned this must be the name of the root table.
<field_name>
The name of the field to be indexed.
<is_default_search_col>
Optional. Boolean value. Is this to become the default search column (field)? <if_enable_terms>
Optional. Boolean value. Enable terms support on this field when added to the Tanzu Greenplum Text index.
Return type
SETOF boolean
Privileges required
Only the OWNER can execute this function.
Remarks
Call this function for each field you add.
Before and after you add one or more fields, reload the Solr configuration files with gptext.reload_index(). The initial reload_index() call is required because of Solr 4.0 behavior and may not be required in subsequent versions.
After you add one or more fields, you should reindex the table and commit the index with gptext.commit_index().
Example
Adds the field external_links to the index, then recreates, repopulates, and commits the index.
=# ALTER TABLE wikipedia.articles ADD external_links text;
ALTER TABLE
=# SELECT * FROM gptext.reload_index('demo.wikipedia.articles');

gptext.drop_field()
Removes a field from your schema.
Syntax
gptext.drop_field(<index_name>, <field_name>)
Parameters
<index_name>
The name of the index from which to drop the field. If the table is partitioned this must be the name of the root table.
<field_name>
The name of the field to drop.
Return type
boolean
Privileges required
Only the OWNER can execute this function.
Remarks
Call this function for each field you drop.
Before and after dropping one or more fields, you must reload the Solr configuration files with gptext.reload_index(), then commit the index with gptext.commit_index().
The column __partition in indexes for partitioned database tables cannot be dropped.
The initial reload_index() is required by Solr 4.0 behavior and may not be necessary in subsequent versions.
Example
Drops the field external_links from the index.
=# SELECT * FROM gptext.reload_index('demo.wikipedia.articles');
reload_index
--------------
t
(1 row)
=# SELECT * FROM gptext.drop_field('demo.wikipedia.articles', 'external_links');

Syntax
gptext.drop_index(<index_name>)
Parameters
<index_name>
The name of the index to drop. If the database table is partitioned, this must be the name of the root table.
Return type
boolean
Privileges required
Only the OWNER can execute this function.

Search
Search functions enable querying an index.
Changing the query parser at query time
When using the search functions, you can change the query parser used by Solr at query time. A different query parser may be required, depending on the nature of the query. See Using Advanced Querying Options for a list of the query parsers Tanzu Greenplum Text supports.
To change the query parser at query time, use the defType Solr option with the gptext.search() function.
To change the query parser for any search function at query time, use the Solr localParams syntax, replacing the <query> term with '{!type=edismax}<query>'.
With the Tanzu Greenplum Text Universal Query Parser, you can use features from any of the other supported query parsers in a single query. To use the Universal Query Parser, replace the <query> term with '{!gptextqp}<query>'. See Using the Universal Query Parser for information and examples.
gptext.search()
Searches an index.
Syntax
gptext.search(TABLE(<select-statement>), <index_name>, <search_query>, <filter_queries>[, <options>])
Parameters
TABLE(<select-statement>)
A table-valued expression. This is an anytable pseudo-type, specified using the format:
TABLE(<select_statement>)
The Greenplum Database query planner processes the <select_statement> to estimate the number of result rows, but the query is not executed by the body of the search function. You can use the expression TABLE(SELECT 1 SCATTER BY 1) as a simple, syntactically correct value for this argument.
<index_name> The name of the index to search. If the database table is partitioned you can specify the name of a sub-partition table to search. <search_query> Text value containing a Solr text search query. <filter_queries> A text array of filter queries, if any. If none, set this parameter to null. <options> An optional ampersand-delimited list of Solr query parameters. See Solr options.
Return type
SETOF gptext.search_scored_result
This is a composite type with the following columns:
| Column | Type |
|---|---|
| id | text |
| score | double precision |
| hs (conditional) | gptext hstore |
| rf (conditional) | text |
The id column is returned as text, even if the <id_col> specified in the gptext.create_index() function is an integer type. If you order results by id or join search results with the original table on id, you must cast the returned id column to the correct integer type in your query. For example, the following search query casts the id returned by the search query to an INT8 type to join with the numeric id column in the wikipedia.articles table and to sort the results numerically. However, the id column in the results is a text value and is therefore displayed left-justified.
SELECT s.id, s.score, a.title
FROM wikipedia.articles a,
gptext.search(TABLE(SELECT 1 SCATTER BY 1),
'demo.wikipedia.articles', '*:*', null) s
WHERE s.id::INT8 = a.id
ORDER BY s.id::INT8;

If the <options> parameter is included in gptext.search(), the result includes the offsets column. This column contains key-value pairs, where the key is the column name and the value is a comma-separated list of offsets to locations where the search term occurs. This data is used by the gptext.highlight() function to add highlighting tags to the column data. If highlighting is not enabled with the 'hl=true' option, the offsets column is NULL.
If the fl option is included in the <options> parameter to specify additional fields to add to the result, the rf column contains the additional fields in a formatted text value. The gptext.gptext_retrieve_field() function can be used to extract a single field value from the rf column. There are variants of the gptext.gptext_retrieve_field() function to retrieve integer and float values from the rf column value.
Privileges required
You must have the SELECT privilege to execute this function.
Solr options
Solr queries allow the following optional refinements, specified as an ampersand-delimited list in the options parameter.
defType The name of the query parser to use for this query.
Example: defType=edismax rows The maximum number of rows to return per segment. If omitted, all rows are returned.
Example: rows=100 returns 100 rows per segment or all rows if there are fewer than 100. sort Sorts on a field or score in ascending or descending order.
Examples:
sort=score desc(default if no sort defined)sort=date_time ascsort=date_time asc score descsorts ondate_timeascending, then onscoredescending
start The number of the first record to return.
Examples:
start=0default: returned records start with record 0start=25returned records start with record 25
hl Enable highlighting.
Example: hl=true hl.fl Comma-separated list of field names to consider when highlighting.
Examples:
hl.fl=message_texthl.fl=title,content
fl Comma-separated list of fields to include in search results. The fields must have been set to stored=true in the managed-schema for the index.
Example: fl=title,refs
Remarks
The output includes a table with columns
id(the ID named in gptext.create_index()) andscore(thetf-idfscore). A column namedoffsetsis included if highlighting is specified in theoptionsparameter. A column namedrfis included when a list of additional fields to include is specified in the<options>parameter.To change the query parser at query time, specify the
defTypeoption in the options parameter list. For example, setting the options parameter to'rows=100&defType=edismax'limits the output to 100 rows per segment and will change the query parser toedismax.The
TABLEquery is planned and affects the estimate forgptext.search(), but does not execute. For example, if your query includesgptext.search(TABLE(SELECT * FROM t), ...)the query planner estimates the number of results as the number of rows in
t. This can cause the query planner to ignore the use of an index scan. Use a query likeTABLE(SELECT 1 SCATTER BY 1)to avoid this issue.If you do not specify options,
gptext.search()returns all rows.The options separator has changed from comma to ampersand (&) in order to support highlighting. If you do not use highlighting, you can revert to using the comma separator by setting the
gptext.search_param_separatorto','.The Solr option
rowsspecifies the maximum number of rows to return per segment. For example, if you have four segments,'rows=100'returns at most a total of 400 rows. To limit the number of rows returned for an entire query, set aLIMITin the SQL query. For example, the following query returns at most 20 rows for the query:=# SELECT t.id, q.score, t.message_text FROM twitter.message t, gptext.search(TABLE(SELECT 1 SCATTER BY 1), 'demo.twitter.message', '*:*', null, null) q WHERE t.id=q.id::int8 LIMIT '20';The
gptext hstoretype is a limited form of the Postgreshstoretype. It only has thehstoreinput and output functions implemented, asgptext_hstore_inandgptext_hstore_out.
Examples
Runs a Tanzu Greenplum Text query that looks for Wikipedia articles that contain the term "optimization", and joins the results to the original Greenplum Database
articlestable:=# SELECT a.id, a.title, q.score FROM wikipedia.articles a, gptext.search(TABLE(SELECT * FROM wikipedia.articles), 'demo.wikipedia.articles', 'optimization', null) q WHERE a.id = q.id::int8 ORDER BY score DESC; id | title | score ----------+---------------------------+------------ 213555 | Solar updraft tower | 1.5528862 18965585 | Pressure-retarded osmosis | 0.89540845 7906908 | Biomass | 0.8692636 25784 | Renewable energy | 0.7473389 533423 | Solar water heating | 0.7186527 608623 | Ethanol fuel | 0.6943706 27743 | Solar energy | 0.6943706 2008322 | Vehicle-to-grid | 0.6352812 55017 | Fusion power | 0.6347449 14205946 | Algae fuel | 0.6347449 13690575 | Solar power | 0.58286035 (11 rows)
- Returns 5 rows from each segment with the text "iphone" highlighted in the `message_text` column. This example requires that you have enabled terms on the `message_text` field in the `demo.twitter.message` table. See the example in the [`gptext.enable_terms()`](#topic19) reference.
``` sql

gptext.search_count()
Returns the number of documents that match the search query.
Syntax
gptext.search_count(<index_name>, <search_query>, <filter_queries>, <options>)
Parameters
<index_name>
The name of the index. <search_query> The search query. <filter_queries>
A comma-delimited array of filter queries, if any. If none, set this parameter to null.
<options>
An optional ampersand-delimited list of Solr query parameters. See Solr options.
Return type

gptext.search_external()
Searches a Tanzu Greenplum Text external index.
Syntax
gptext.search_external(<table-exp>, <index_name>, <search_query>,
<filter_queries>[, <options>])
Parameters
<table> A table-valued expression. Because external indexes are not associated with a database table, this parameter is ignored. An expression like the following is sufficient:
TABLE(SELECT 1 SCATTER BY 1)
<index_name>
The name of the Tanzu Greenplum Text external index to search.
<search_query>
Text value containing a Solr text search query.
<filter_queries>
A text array of filter queries, if any. If none, set this parameter to null.
<options>
An optional ampersand-delimited list of Solr query parameters. See Solr options.
Return type
SETOF gptext.search_external_result
This type has the following columns:
Column | Type
---------------+------------------ id | text title | text subject | text description | text comments | text author | text keywords | text category | text resourcename | text url | text content_type | text last_modified | text links | text sha256 | text content | text score | double precision meta | text
The last column, meta is present only if the optional <options> argument is included in the search.
Remarks
When you add an external document to the index, Apache Tika extracts a core set of metadata from the document, the columns listed in the Return type section. If any of these core metadata values are not present or do not exist in the document type, the value of the column in the result row is null.
If the <options> argument is supplied, the results contain an additional text column named meta. The meta column contains additional document-type-specific metadata. You can use the gptext.gptext_retrieve_field() function and its variants to extract individual metadata values by name from the meta column.
If the <options> argument contains the fl=<list> Solr option, Solr returns values only for the columns included in <list> and the id, score, and meta columns. Other columns in the result set will have null values. It is more efficient to filter out columns in Solr than to retrieve all columns from Solr and then choose a subset of columns in the SQL SELECT statement.
Examples
Finds HTML documents containing the term "facet".
=# \x on =# SELECT id, title FROM gptext.search_external(TABLE(SELECT 1 SCATTER BY 1), 'gptext-docs', 'facet', '{content_type:*html*}'); -[ RECORD 1 ]-------------------------------------------------------- id | http://gptext.docs.pivotal.io/latest/topics/function_ref.html title | GPText Function Reference | | Tanzu Greenplum Text Docs -[ RECORD 2 ]-------------------------------------------------------- id | http://gptext.docs.pivotal.io/latest/topics/queries.html title | Querying GPText Indexes | | Tanzu Greenplum Text Docs -[ RECORD 3 ]-------------------------------------------------------- id | http://gptext.docs.pivotal.io/latest/topics/guc_ref.html title | GPText Configuration Parameters | | Tanzu Greenplum Text DocsAlthough just two columns are in this result set, the data Greenplum Database receives from Solr includes all core metadata fields, including the

gptext.gptext_retrieve_field()
Retrieves a single field from the rf or meta search result column as a text value.
Syntax
gptext.gptext_retrieve_field(rf | meta, <field_name>)
Parameters
rf | meta
The name of the column in which Tanzu Greenplum Text returns fields. This is rf for search results from regular Tanzu Greenplum Text indexes and meta for search results from Tanzu Greenplum Text external indexes.
<field_name>
The name of the field to retrieve.
Remarks
The fl=<field_list> Solr search option is added to the <options> parameter of the gptext.search() function to request additional stored fields. The additional fields are returned in the results in a column named rf (meta for external indexes). This column value has a format like the following:
column_value { name: "_version" value: "1544714234398507008" } column_value { name: "revision" value: "9.70" } column_value { name: "author" value: "jdough" }
The gptext.gptext_retrieve_field() function extracts the value for a single specified field and returns it as a text value. If there is no field with the specified name in the rf column, it returns NULL.
Storing additional fields in an index requires editing managed-schema to specify the fields that should be stored. See Storing Additional Fields in an Index for instructions.
gptext.gptext_retrieve_field_int()
Retrieves a single field from the rf or meta search result column as an integer value.
Syntax
gptext.gptext_retrieve_field_int(rf | meta, <field_name>)
Parameters
rf | meta
The name of the column containing fields to be retrieved. For regular Tanzu Greenplum Text indexes, it is rf. For Tanzu Greenplum Text external indexes it is meta.
<field_name>
The name of the integer field to retrieve.
Remarks
The gptext.gptext_retrieve_field_int() function is the same as the gptext.gptext_retrieve_field() function, except that the extracted field value is converted to an integer value.
gptext.gptext_retrieve_field_float()
Retrieves a single field from the search result column as a float value.
Syntax
gptext.gptext_retrieve_field_float(rf | meta, <field_name>)
Parameters
rf | meta
The name of the column containing fields to be retrieved. For regular Tanzu Greenplum Text indexes, it is rf. For Tanzu Greenplum Text external indexes it is meta.
<field_name>
The name of the float field to retrieve.
Remarks
The gptext.gptext_retrieve_field_float() function is the same as the gptext.gptext_retrieve_field() function, except that the extracted field value is converted to a float value.
gptext.highlight()
Highlights terms by inserting markup tags into data.
Syntax
gptext.highlight(<column_data>, <column_name>, <offsets>)
Parameters
<column_data>
The text data from the table which is to be tagged with highlighting tags.
<column_name>
The name of the corresponding column from the table. <offsets>
A gptext hstore value that contains key-value pairs that indicate the locations of the text to highlight within the column data. See Remarks for information about the gptext hstore data type.
Prequisite
To use highlighting, full term vectors, postings with term vectors, or stored fields must be enabled before creating the index.
- To enable term vectors, call
gptext.enable_terms()for each field where you want to enable terms, then index or re-index withgptext.index(). - To enable postings with term vectors, you must Configure Postings with Term Vectors, then index or re-index with
gptext.index(). - To enable stored fields, you must edit
managed-schemaas described in Storing Additional Fields in an Index, then index or re-index withgptext.index().
Remarks
The
offsetsparameter is agptext hstore, where each key is a column name and the value is a comma-separated list of offsets into the column data. Thishstoreis constructed by gptext.search() with highlighting enabled in theoffsetsparameter.Following is an example of the
offsetshstorecontent:"field1"=>"0:5,9:14","field2"=>"13:20"gptext.highlight()will insert two sets of tags into thefield1data and one set into thefield2data at the indicated offsets.The
gptext hstoretype is a limited form of the Postgreshstoretype. It has only thehstoreinput and output functions implemented, asgptext_hstore_inandgptext_hstore_out.The highlight tags are defined by the
gptext.hl_pre_tagandgptext.hl_post_tagserver configuration parameters. Their default values are<em>and</em>, respectively.
Example
gptext.highlight_external()
Highlights terms in search results from external indexes by inserting markup tags.
Syntax
gptext.highlight_external(<table_exp>, <index>, <search_query>, <filter_queries>[, <options>])
Parameters
<table_exp>
A table expression, ignored for external indexes. An expression such as TABLE(SELECT 1 SCATTER BY 1) is sufficient.
<index>
Name of the index containing data to highlight. <search_query>
Text value containing a Solr text search query.
<filter_queries> A text array of filter queries, if any. If none, set this parameter to null.
<options An optional ampersand-delimited list of Solr query parameters. See Solr options.
Remarks
The gptext.highlight_external() function searches a Tanzu Greenplum Text external index and encloses the search terms in markup tags in the returned results.
Example
Search for and highlight the terms "zookeeper" and "solr" in HTML documents.
=# SELECT id, content FROM gptext.highlight_external(TABLE(SELECT 1 SCATTER BY 1),
'gptext-docs','{!gptextqp}zookeeper AND solr', '{content_type:*html*}',

gptext.highlight_instant_content()
Highlights terms in local search results by inserting markup tags into data.
Syntax
gptext.highlight_instant_content(<table_query>, <index_name>, <highlight_query>)
Parameters
<table_query>
A table SELECT query that returns two columns: the first column is an <id>, the second column is the text <content> to be highlighted.
<index_name>
Name of the index containing data to highlight. <highlight_query>
Text value containing a Solr text search query.
Remarks
The gptext.highlight_instant_content() function provides a more disk efficient highlighting option. When you invoke this function, Greenplum Text sends the original text to Solr before it applies the highlight.
The function returns records with the following columns:
id- The first column returned by the<table_query>.highlighted_content- The result of applying the<highlight_query>on the original content.
You can use the returned id to join the results with other tables.
Example
Search for and highlight the term "solr".
=# SELECT t.id, highlighted_content, date FROM
gptext.highlight_instant_content(TABLE(SELECT t.id, content FROM
gptext.search(TABLE(SELECT 1 SCATTER BY 1), 'demo.public.test', 'solr',
null, 'rows=10') s JOIN hli_test t ON s.id::bigint=t.id),
'demo.public.test', 'solr') h JOIN hli_test t ON h.id::bigint=t.id;
Faceted Search
Faceting breaks up a search result into multiple categories, showing counts for each.
gptext.faceted_field_search()
The faceted_field_search() function breaks search results into field name categories.
Syntax
gptext.faceted_field_search(<index_name>, <query>, <filter_queries>, <facet_fields>,
<facet_limit>, <minimum>, <options>)
Parameters
<index_name>
The name of the index. <query>
Query statement. Use *:* to query for all results. <filter_queries>

Working with Terms
The optional terms component saves terms output by the Solr index analyzer chain to a vector in the index. Enabling terms is requried to use parts-of-speech and named entity recognition.
gptext.enable_terms()
Enables term vectors and positions to allow extracting terms and their positions from fields of data type text.
Syntax
gptext.enable_terms(<index_name>, <field_name>)
Parameters
<index_name>
The name of the index for which you want to enable terms.
<field_name>
The name of the field for which you want to enable terms.
Return type
boolean
Privileges required
Only the OWNER can execute this function.
Remarks
Solr can mark terms and their positions in documents when indexing. This capability is disabled by default. Use gptext.enable_terms() to enable the capability.
Call gptext.enable_terms() for each field where you want to enable terms.
After calling this function, you must index or re-index with gptext.index().
Examples
=# SELECT * FROM gptext.enable_terms('demo.twitter.message', 'message_text');
WARNING: Enable terms for field: message_text of index: demo.twitter.message successfully. Reindex data needed.

gptext.ner_terms()
Gets NER-tagged terms for a text field configured for NER (Named Entity Recognition) from documents in a Solr index that match a query.
Syntax
gptext.ner_terms(TABLE(<select-statement>), <index_name>, <field_name>,
<search_query>, <filter_queries>[, <options>])
gptext.ner_terms(<index_name>, <field_name>, <search_query>,
<filter_queries>[, <options>])
Parameters
TABLE(<select-statement>) This parameter is ignored and can be omitted.
A table expression that specifies a SELECT statement. Specify in the format:
TABLE(SELECT * FROM <src_table>;)
<index_name> The name of the index to query for NER terms. <field_name> The name of the NER-enabled text field to query for NER terms.
<search_query> A query that matches documents to include in the results. <filter_queries> A comma-delimited array of filter queries, if any. If none, set this parameter to null. <options> An optional, comma-delimited list of Solr query parameters.
Return type
SETOF gptext.ner_term_info
This is a composite type with the following columns:
| Column | Type |
|---|---|
| id | text |
| term | text |
| entity_type | text |
| frequency | integer |
Privileges required
You must have the SELECT privilege to execute this function.
Remarks
The gptext.ner_terms() function displays the NER-tagged terms in a field's terms vector for documents that match a query. The <fieldType> of the text field must be configured in the managed-schema for the index with the OpenNLP tokenizers and filters. See Using Named Entity Recognition with GPText for NER configuration instructions.
NER-tagged terms have the form _ner_<entity-type>_<token-text>. Terms that do not have the _ner_ prefix are not included in the output of this function. Use the gptext.terms() function to retrieve all terms from matched documents, including NER-tagged terms.
The output of the gptext.ner_terms() function contains one row for each tagged entity in documents that match the search. The term column contains the term with the _ner_<entity-type>- prefix removed. The entity_type column contains the type of the entity, and the frequency column is the number of times the term appears in the document.
Terms with the same entity type, such as person, organization, and location, that occur in consecutive positions in the document are concatenated to create a compound term in the output. For example, if the terms _ner_organization_federal, _ner_organization_reserve, and _ner_organization_board appear in consecutive positions in the document, the compound term federal reserve board appears in the output. When you perform a search on tagged terms and include highlighting, the compound term is highlighted, rather than each of the consecutive terms.
Example
Get the NER-tagged terms for the
contentfield from the document with id 842613485.=# SELECT * FROM gptext.ner_terms('demo.public.news_demo', 'content', 'id:842613485', null); id | term | entity_type | frequency -----------+--------------------------------+--------------+----------- 842613485 | alan murray | person | 1 842613485 | citicorp information services | organization | 1 842613485 | morgan stanley | organization | 1 842613485 | stephen roach | person | 1 842613485 | mr. murray | person | 1 842613485 | alan | person | 1 842613485 | mr. | person | 1 842613485 | murray | person | 2 842613485 | roach | person | 1 842613485 | stephen | person | 1 842613485 | board | organization | 1 842613485 | citicorp | organization | 1 842613485 | consumer | organization | 1 842613485 | fed | organization | 1 842613485 | federal | organization | 1 842613485 | information | organization | 1 842613485 | morgan | organization | 1 842613485 | reserve | organization | 1 842613485 | services | organization | 1 842613485 | stanley | organization | 1 842613485 | federal reserve board | organization | 1 (21 rows)
gptext.terms()

Syntax
gptext.terms(TABLE(<select-statement>), <index_name>, <field_name>,
<search_query>, <filter_queries>[, <options>])
gptext.terms(<index_name>, <field_name>, <search_query>, <filter_queries>[, options])
Parameters
TABLE(<select-statement>) A table expression that specifies a SELECT statement. Specify in the format:
TABLE(SELECT 1 SCATTER BY 1)
This parameter is ignored and can be omitted.
<index_name> The name of the index to query for terms. The index must have unique document IDs. <field_name> The name of the field to query for terms.
<search_query> A query that the document must match. <filter_queries> A comma-delimited array of filter queries, if any. If none, set this parameter to null. <options> An optional, comma-delimited list of Solr query parameters.
Return type
SETOF gptext.term_info
This is a composite type with the following columns:
| Column | Type |
|---|---|
| id | text |
| term | text |
| positions | integer[] |
Privileges required
You must have the SELECT privilege to execute this function.
Remarks
The gptext.terms() function cannot be used with indexes created with if_check_id_uniqueness set to false.
To enable using gptext.terms(), execute the Tanzu Greenplum Text function gptext.enable_terms(), then reindex with gptext.index().
If the field has been tagged with Named Entity Recognition (NER) or Parts-of-Speech (POS) filters, the tagged terms appear in the gptext.terms() output in raw format, for example _ner_person_david. Use the gptext.ner_terms() function to view only NER-tagged terms.
Examples
This example creates a terms table from the output of the gptext.terms() function.
=# CREATE TABLE twitter.terms AS
SELECT * FROM gptext.terms(
'demo.twitter.message', 'message_text', 'iphone', null)
DISTRIBUTED BY (id);

gptext.add_replica()
Adds a replica of an index shard.
Syntax
gptext.add_replica(<index_name>, <shard_name>[, <node_name>])
Parameters
<index_name>
Name of the index. If the index is for a partitioned database table, this must be the name of the root table. <shard_name>
Name of the shard to replicate. <node_name>
Name of the node where the replica is to be added. Optional. If omitted, SolrCloud chooses the node.
Return type
boolean
Remarks
This function is used by the Tanzu Greenplum Text management utility gptext-replica add.
The value of the gptext.replication_factor configuration parameter when an index is created determines how many replicas are created for each shard. In a Greenplum system, there are the same number of shards as there are Greenplum segments. The number of replicas created for a new index is the number of segments times the value of the gptext.replication_factor configuration parameter, 2 by default. The replicas are distributed evenly among the live Tanzu Greenplum Text nodes.
Replicas consume space on the host where they are created, so they are usually only created to replace a replica that has failed or become unavailable or to relocate a replica to another Tanzu Greenplum Text instance. When adding replicas, you should maintain equal distribution of replicas among the Tanzu Greenplum Text nodes and avoid placing multiple replicas for the same shard on the same host.
The total number of replicas for an index that can be placed on each Tanzu Greenplum Text node is set when the index is created. (In Solr, this is the MaxShardsPerNode parameter.) Tanzu Greenplum Text sets this limit by calculating the number of replicas to create per node and adding an additional factor, specified in the gptext.extension_factor server configuration parameter. This parameter can be set between 0 and 10; the default value is 2. Since the limit is set when the index is created, it is recommended to set the gptext.extension_factor parameter to a higher number to allow new replicas to be created when necessary.

=# SELECT * FROM gptext.add_replica('demo.wikipedia.articles', 'shard1');

gptext.delete_replica()
Deletes a named replica from the specified index and shard.
Syntax
gptext.delete_replica(<index_name>, <shard_name>, <replica_name>[, <only_if_down>])
Parameters
<index_name>
Name of the index. <shard_name>
Name of the shard that contains the replica to delete. <replica_name>
Name of the replica to remove. <only_if_down>
Optional. When true, no action is taken if the replica is active. Default is false.
Return type
boolean
Remarks
Use the gptext.index_status() function to find the name of the replica to drop. Names are in the format core_nodeX, where X is a number.
This function is called from the gptext-replica drop management utility.
Examples
Delete the
core_node5replica if it is down.=# SELECT * FROM gptext.delete_replica('demo.wikipedia.articles', 'shard1', 'core_node5', true); ERROR: Delete replica failed: Attempted to remove replica : demo.wikipedia.articles/shard1/core_node5 with onlyIfDown='true', but state is 'active'.Delete the
