Type of operation: Join

Accelerable

not_exists is accelerable if there is a frame() argument. A dataset that only uses accelerable verbs can be accelerated, making queries on the dataset respond faster.

Examples

not_exists [email protected]_id

Antisemijoin the default dataset with the ‘right’ dataset, returning rows from ‘default’ where there does not exists a key match at any point in time within the query window.

not_exists frame(back:30m), [email protected]_id

Anitsemijoin the default dataset with the ‘right’ dataset, returning rows from ‘default’ where there does not exists a key match within 30 minutes in time.
