=== `TO_LONG`
|
||
|
|
Converts an input value to a long value.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The input can be a single- or multi-valued field or an expression. The input
|
||
|
|
type must be of a boolean, date, string or numeric type.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Example:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[source,esql]
|
||
|
|
----
|
||
|
|
include::{esql-specs}/ints.csv-spec[tag=to_long-str]
|
||
|
|
----
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
returns:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[%header,format=dsv,separator=|]
|
||
|
|
|===
|
||
|
|
include::{esql-specs}/ints.csv-spec[tag=to_long-str-result]
|
||
|
|
|===
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Note that in this example, the last conversion of the string isn't
|
||
|
|
possible. When this happens, the result is a *null* value. In this case a
|
||
|
|
_Warning_ header is added to the response. The header will provide information
|
||
|
|
on the source of the failure:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`"Line 1:113: evaluation of [TO_LONG(str3)] failed, treating result as null. Only first 20 failures recorded."`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A following header will contain the failure reason and the offending value:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`"java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: \"foo\""`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If the input parameter is of a date type, its value will be interpreted as
|
||
|
|
milliseconds since the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_time[Unix epoch],
|
||
|
|
converted to long.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Boolean *true* will be converted to long *1*, *false* to *0*.
