Tailslide

Median and percentile for Django and MongoEngine

Supports:

• PostgreSQL
• SQLite
• MariaDB
• MySQL (with an extension)
• SQL Server
• MongoDB

:fire: Uses native functions when possible for blazing performance

Installation

Run:

pip install tailslide

For MySQL, also follow these instructions.

Getting Started

• Django
• MongoEngine

Django

Median

from tailslide import Median

Item.objects.aggregate(Median('price'))

Percentile

from tailslide import Percentile

Request.objects.aggregate(Percentile('response_time', .95))

Works with grouping, too, with PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQLite

Order.objects.values('store').annotate(total=Median('total')).order_by('store')

MongoEngine

Add a custom QuerySet to the models where you want to use it.

from tailslide.mongoengine import TailslideQuerySet

class Item(Document):
    meta = {'queryset_class': TailslideQuerySet}

Median

Item.objects.median('price')

Percentile

Item.objects.percentile('price', .95)

Additional Instructions

MySQL

MySQL requires the PERCENTILE_CONT function from udf_infusion. To install it, do:

git clone https://github.com/infusion/udf_infusion.git
cd udf_infusion
./configure --enable-functions="percentile_cont"
make
sudo make install
mysql <options> < load.sql
