I'm trying to calculate the total time between the first and last DHCPACK after a DHCPOFFER. The data source is Kafka and the results should be sent to another Kafka topic. Here's an example of the data and the expected SQL query output:
SELECT
timestamp,
rid,
dateDiff('second', toDateTime('2024-03-15 01:35:06'), toDateTime('2024-03-15 01:37:34')) AS total_seconds
FROM my_table
WHERE condition_applies
The table includes columns for timestamp
, rid
, and dhcp_action
. I need to identify the start time as the timestamp of the DHCPOFFER
and the end time as the timestamp of the last DHCPACK
for each rid
. How can I achieve this?

To calculate the total time between the first and last DHCPACK after a DHCPOFFER, you can use a combination of SQL window functions and conditional logic. Here's an example query that might help you achieve the desired result:
WITH offers AS (
SELECT
_row_id as offer_uid,
timestamp as offer_start,
lead(timestamp) over (partition by rid order by timestamp) as offer_end,
rid
FROM t WHERE dhcp_action = 'DHCPOFFER'
),
actions AS (
SELECT
offers.rid,
offers.offer_uid,
t.timestamp,
t.dhcp_action
FROM t JOIN offers
ON t.rid = offers.rid AND
CASE offers.offer_end IS NULL
WHEN true THEN t.timestamp >= offers.offer_start
ELSE t.timestamp >= offers.offer_start AND t.timestamp < offers.offer_end
END
)
SELECT
rid,
offer_uid,
first_value(timestamp) OVER (PARTITION BY rid, offer_uid ORDER BY timestamp) FILTER (WHERE dhcp_action = 'DHCPACK') AS first_ack,
last_value(timestamp) OVER (PARTITION BY rid, offer_uid ORDER BY timestamp) FILTER (WHERE dhcp_action = 'DHCPACK') AS last_ack
FROM actions
GROUP BY rid, offer_uid;
This query creates a CTE (offers
) to identify the start and end times of each DHCPOFFER period for each rid
. Then, it joins this CTE with the original table (actions
) to find all DHCP actions that fall within each offer period. Finally, it selects the first and last DHCPACK timestamps for each offer period and calculates the difference between them to find the total time.
