☛ What is ClickHouse?
ClickHouse is an open-source columnar database management system from ClickHouse Corporation built for web-scale, real-time streaming data analytics using SQL queries. ClickHouse is capable of delivering optimal, horizontally scalable, fault-tolerant and highly available data analytics solutions for planet-scale internet / mobile properties and the Internet of Things (IoT). Modern hardware efficient ClickHouse columnar storage format allows fitting more hot data in RAM, which leads to shorter response times. ChistaDATA provides ClickHouse Consulting and Support (24*7) to deliver optimal, scalable and highly available web-scale data analytics platforms.
☛ Quick facts on ClickHouse
- Open Source ColumnStore project from ClickHouse Corporation.
- Built for Massively Parallel Processing Systems, Large/complex queries can be run in parallel with minimal or no effort, The modern hardware infrastructure is ready!
- Data compression – ClickHouse supports data compression and this improves query performance.
- Horizontally scalable columnar database system – ClickHouse is built for web-scale data analytics, Data can be replicated across several ClickHouse Shards. ClickHouse has distributed database analytics-ready columnar database system.
- In ClickHouse, data is not just stored by columns but is also processed by vectors to achieve high CPU performance.
- Web-Scale data analytics-ready – Primary keys are allowed, The data extraction for specific clients through Metrica counter over a specific time range makes low latency query analytics possible.
- Flexible aggregation – Aggregate functions for partial data with approximated calculation (minimal data retrieval option). Random keys aggregation instead of all keys for higher accuracy using minimal resources.
- Maximum availability and self-healing – Asynchronous multi-master replication with auto-failover capabilities.
- SQL based – ClickHouse supports SQL, JOINS, subqueries including FROM, IN, JOIN clauses; and scalar subqueries are allowed. Correlated subqueries are not allowed.
☛ Why do we recommend ClickHouse over many other columnar database systems ?
- Compact data storage – Ten billion UInt8-type values should exactly consume 10GB uncompressed to efficiently use the available CPU. Optimal storage even when uncompressed benefits performance and resource management. ClickHouse is built is store data efficiently without any garbage.
- CPU efficient – Whenever possible, ClickHouse operations are dispatched on arrays, rather than on individual values. This is called “vectorized query execution,” and it helps lower the cost of actual data processing.
- Data compression – ClickHouse supports two kinds of compression LZ4 and ZSTD. LZ4 is faster than ZSTD but the compression ratio is smaller.ZSTD is faster and compresses better than traditional Zlib but slower than LZ4. We recommend customers LZ4 when I/O is fast enough so decompression speed will become a bottleneck. When using super ultra-fast disk subsystems you have an option to specify “none” compression. ZSTD is recommended when I/O is the bottleneck in queries with large range scans.
- Can store data in disk – The columnar database systems like SAP HANA and Google PowerDrill can only work in the RAM.
- Massively Parallel Processing – ClickHouse is capable of Massively Parallel Processing very large/complex SQL(s) optimally and cost-efficiently
- Built for web-scale data analytics – ClickHouse supports sharding and distributed processing, This makes ClickHouse the most preferred columnar database system for web-scale. Each shard in ClickHouse can be a group of replicas addressing maximum reliability and fault tolerance.
- ClickHouse support Primary Key – ClickHouse permits real-time data updates with a primary key (there will be no locking when adding data). Data is sorted incrementally using the merge tree to perform queries on the range of primary key values.
- Built for statistical analysis and supporting partial aggregation – ClickHouse is a statistical query analysis-ready columnar database store supporting aggregate functions for approximated calculation of the number of various values, medians, and quantiles. ClickHouse supports aggregation for a limited number of random keys, instead of for all the keys. You can query on a part (sample) of data and generate approximate results reducing disk I/O operations considerably.
- Supports SQL – ClickHouse supports SQL, Subqueries are supported in FROM, IN, and JOIN clauses, as well as scalar subqueries. Dependent subqueries are not supported.
- Supports data replication – ClickHouse supports asynchronous multi-master and master-slave replication.
