Sampling

When the data volume is extra large, we may need to find a subset of data to speed up data analysis. This is sampling, a technique used to identify and analyze a subset of data in order to discover patterns and trends in the whole dataset. In HQL, there are three ways of sampling data: random sampling, bucket table sampling, and block sampling.
