Given a distance-weighted directed graph, consisting of a queryCURSOR input consisting of the starting and ending node for each edge and a distance, and a specified origin node, tf_graph_shortest_paths_distances computes the shortest distance-weighted path distance between the origin_node and every other node in the graph. It returns a row for each node in the graph, with output columns consisting of the input origin_node, the given destination_node, the distance for the shortest path between the two nodes, and the number of edges or graph "hops" between the two nodes. If origin_node does not exist in the node1 column of the edge_list CURSOR, an error is returned.

Example A
Example B
node1
Origin node column in directed edge list CURSOR
Column<INT | BIGINT | TEXT ENCODED DICT>
node2
Destination node column in directed edge list CURSOR
Column<INT | BIGINT | TEXT ENCODED DICT> (must be the same type as node1)
distance
Distance between origin and destination node in directed edge list CURSOR
Column INT | BIGINT | FLOAT | DOUBLE>
origin_node
The origin node to start graph traversal from. If not a value present in edge_list.node1, will cause empty result set to be returned.
BIGINT | TEXT ENCODED DICT
origin_node
Starting node in graph traversal. Always equal to input origin_node.
Column <INT | BIGINT | TEXT ENCODED DICT> (same type as the node1 and node2 input columns)
destination_node
Final node in graph traversal. Will be equal to one of values of node2 input column.
Column <INT | BIGINT | TEXT ENCODED DICT> (same type as the node1 and node2 input columns)
distance
Cumulative distance between origin and destination node for shortest path graph traversal.
Column<INT | BIGINT | FLOAT | DOUBLE> (same type as the distance input column)
num_edges_traversed
Number of edges (or "hops") traversed in the graph to arrive at destination_node from origin_node for the shortest path graph traversal between these two nodes.
Column <INT>
