In Hive, the lead function is used to retrieve the value of the next row in a specified column. It can be used in conjunction with window functions to view the value of the next row in the result set.<\/p>\n

The syntax of the lead function is as follows:<\/p>\n

LEAD (value_expression [, offset [, default]]) OVER ( [ PARTITION BY partition_expression ] [ ORDER BY order_expression ] )\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
Among them:<\/p>\n
    \n
  1. value_expression: The column or expression from which to retrieve the value of the next row.<\/li>\n
  2. Offset: an optional parameter that determines the offset of the next row to be viewed, with a default value of 1.<\/li>\n
  3. Default: Optional parameter that returns the default value when there is no next row.<\/li>\n
  4. PARTITION BY: Optional clause used to specify the partition key.<\/li>\n
  5. ORDER BY: an optional clause used to specify the sorting order.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
