fillnull
Description
Replaces null values with a specified value. Null values are field values that are missing in a particular result but present in another result. Use fillnull to replace null field values with a string. If you do not specify a field list, fillnull replaces all null values with 0 (the default) or a user-supplied string.
Syntax
fillnull [value=string] [<field-list>]
Optional arguments
- field-list
- Syntax: <field>...
- Description: One or more fields, delimited with a space. If not specified, fillnull is applied to all fields.
- value
- Datatype: value=<string>
- Description: Specify a string value to replace null values.
- Default: 0
Usage
The fillnull command is a distributable streaming command when a field-list is specified. When no field-list is specified, the fillnull command fits into the dataset processing type.
