ClickHouse Meetup in Paris

JOIN enhancements

Support for ON.

— AND chains of equality comparisons.

Support for qualified names and aliases
for both left and right tables.

Available since version 18.6.

JOIN enhancements

Before:

SELECT C_REGION, sum(LO_EXTENDEDPRICE * LO_DISCOUNT)
FROM lineorder
ANY INNER JOIN
(
    SELECT C_REGION, C_CUSTKEY AS LO_CUSTKEY
    FROM customer
) USING (LO_CUSTKEY)
WHERE (toYear(LO_ORDERDATE) = 1993) AND ((LO_DISCOUNT >= 1)
    AND (LO_DISCOUNT <= 3)) AND (LO_QUANTITY < 25)
GROUP BY C_REGION;

JOIN enhancements

After:

SELECT C_REGION, sum(LO_EXTENDEDPRICE * LO_DISCOUNT)
FROM lineorder ANY INNER JOIN customer
    ON LO_CUSTKEY=C_CUSTKEY
WHERE (toYear(LO_ORDERDATE) = 1993) AND ((LO_DISCOUNT >= 1)
    AND (LO_DISCOUNT <= 3)) AND (LO_QUANTITY < 25)
GROUP BY C_REGION;

JOIN enhancements

SET join_default_strictness = 'any';

SELECT C_REGION, sum(LO_EXTENDEDPRICE * LO_DISCOUNT)
FROM lineorder INNER JOIN customer
    ON LO_CUSTKEY=C_CUSTKEY
WHERE (toYear(LO_ORDERDATE) = 1993) AND ((LO_DISCOUNT >= 1)
    AND (LO_DISCOUNT <= 3)) AND (LO_QUANTITY < 25)
GROUP BY C_REGION;

JOIN enhancements

Correct behaviour of ＊.

You can leave old behaviour with the 'asterisk_left_columns_only' setting.

Available since 18.12.

DECIMAL

SELECT 1 - 0.9 - 0.1 AS x

DECIMAL

Decimal numbers with fixed point.

Example:
— DECIMAL(16, 6);
— Decimal128(6);

Late beta. Available in 18.12,
under 'allow_experimental_decimal_type' setting.

DECIMAL

Number of digits — up to 38.

Stored as integer number Int32, Int64 or Int128 containing all the digits.

For most of the operations, performance is about the same as for integers.

There are overflow checks
— can be turned off with 'decimal_check_overflow' setting.

Performance introspection

What we already have had before:

Information about single queries:
— system.processes, SHOW PROCESSLIST;
— system.query_log;
— server text log.

Global performance metrics:
— system.events;
— system.metrics;
— system.asynchronous_metrics;
— also sent to Graphite;

Performance introspection

We've added info about real CPU and IO usage:

RealTime, UserTime, SystemTime,
SoftPageFaults, HardPageFaults,
VoluntaryContextSwitches,
InvoluntaryContextSwitches

IOWait, CPUWait,
CPUVirtualTime,
ReadBytes, WriteBytes,
ReadChars, WriteChars

Performance introspection

We've added info about real CPU and IO usage:

Half of them — from getrusage,
another half — from Linux kernel, obtained through AF_NETLINK socket.

Requires Linux and CAP_NET_ADMIN capability
— set at the package install time.

Performance introspection

All performance counters became hierarchical:

— global counters
— in system.events table;

— counters per each query
— in system.processes and system.query_log;

— counters per each query execution thread
— in system.query_thread_log table;

Performance introspection

All performance counters became hierarchical:

— in system.processes and system.query_log
we've added ProfileEvents nested data structure
with all the counters;

— added Settings nested structure
with all changed settings;

— added thread_numbers column
with numbers of all query executing threads;

— added system.query_thread_log table;

— settings: log_profile_events, log_query_settings, log_query_threads;

Performance introspection

Information about queries in server text log:

— every line in log related to query contains query_id.

Receive query execution log directly in clickhouse-client:

SET send_logs_level = 'trace';

It works independent of server global log level.

For distributed queries it will accumulate logs from all participating servers.

Performance introspection

Available in 18.12.

Performance introspection

What we want to do:

— resource pools (workload management);

— throttling resource usage for proper share;

Performance introspection

What we want to do:

— write ClickHouse text logs into system table in ClickHouse;

— write global system metrics (like CPU, iowait, LA)
into system table in ClickHouse;

— calculated histogram/quantile metrics for certain processes
(example: 90% query execution time);

— add per-column and per-file statistics in query_log;

— add counters for all error codes (system.errors table);

— send all metrics to the client;

Table functions

— url;

— file;

— cluster;

— mysql;

— odbc.

Security

Encryption (https) for replication traffic

Authentication between replicas

Encryption for traffic of Distributed tables

Safe usage of ODBC drivers for external sources
