In Google BigQuery, I have a list of events in a single support session which are tagged by event names. Each support issue resolved_time is the timestamp of the resolved event. Each issue start_time is the first occurrence of either of the events message, pending, or unresolved either at the absolute beginning of the session or following a resolved tag.
In other words, the state of the conversation is either open or resolved. The state becomes open with the first occurrence of a message, pending, or unresolved event, and is closed with a resolved event.
Currently I have the table with timestamp and event_name only. Would like to join in start_time and resolved_time.
In the example below, this results in 4 separate support issues. Three being resolved with resolved events and the last being unresolved since it is not closed with a resolved event.
| timestamp | event_name | start_time | resolved_time |
|---|---|---|---|

Moving MAX and MIN could be a good fit here:
WITH sample_table AS ( SELECT TIMESTAMP("2021-01-15 20:27:59") timestamp, "unresolved" event_name UNION ALL SELECT TIMESTAMP("2021-01-16 03:02:46"), "message" UNION ALL SELECT TIMESTAMP("2021-01-20 19:31:37"), "resolved" UNION ALL SELECT TIMESTAMP("2021-01-21 00:13:43"), "pending" UNION ALL SELECT TIMESTAMP("2021-01-23 23:38:46"), "resolved" UNION ALL SELECT TIMESTAMP("2021-01-24 00:38:17"), "message" UNION ALL SELECT TIMESTAMP("2021-01-24 00:42:31"), "unresolved" UNION ALL SELECT TIMESTAMP("2021-01-24 02:19:44"), "resolved" UNION ALL SELECT TIMESTAMP("2021-01-25 15:55:50"), "message" UNION ALL SELECT TIMESTAMP("2021-01-25 15:59:55"), "unresolved")SELECT *, MAX(IF(prev_event='resolved' OR prev_event IS NULL, timestamp, NULL)) OVER (ORDER BY timestamp ROWS BETWEEN UNBOUNDED PRECEDING AND CURRENT ROW) AS start_time, MIN(IF(event_name='resolved', timestamp, NULL)) OVER (ORDER BY timestamp ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING) AS resolved_time,FROM ( SELECT *, LAG(event_name) OVER (ORDER BY timestamp) as prev_event, FROM sample_table)
