The path to the table in ZooKeeper should be unique for each replicated table. Tables on different shards should have different paths.
The path to the table in ClickHouse Keeper should be unique for each replicated table. Tables on different shards should have different paths.
In this case, the path consists of the following parts:
`/clickhouse/tables/` is the common prefix. We recommend using exactly this one.
`{layer}-{shard}` is the shard identifier. In this example it consists of two parts, since the example cluster uses bi-level sharding. For most tasks, you can leave just the {shard} substitution, which will be expanded to the shard identifier.
`table_name` is the name of the node for the table in ZooKeeper. It is a good idea to make it the same as the table name. It is defined explicitly, because in contrast to the table name, it does not change after a RENAME query.
`table_name` is the name of the node for the table in ClickHouse Keeper. It is a good idea to make it the same as the table name. It is defined explicitly, because in contrast to the table name, it does not change after a RENAME query.
*HINT*: you could add a database name in front of `table_name` as well. E.g. `db_name.table_name`
The two built-in substitutions `{database}` and `{table}` can be used, they expand into the table name and the database name respectively (unless these macros are defined in the `macros` section). So the zookeeper path can be specified as `'/clickhouse/tables/{layer}-{shard}/{database}/{table}'`.
Be careful with table renames when using these built-in substitutions. The path in Zookeeper cannot be changed, and when the table is renamed, the macros will expand into a different path, the table will refer to a path that does not exist in Zookeeper, and will go into read-only mode.

The replica name identifies different replicas of the same table. You can use the server name for this, as in the example. The name only needs to be unique within each shard.

Note that ClickHouse does not perform any destructive actions such as automatically deleting a large amount of data.
When the server starts (or establishes a new session with ZooKeeper), it only checks the quantity and sizes of all files. If the file sizes match but bytes have been changed somewhere in the middle, this is not detected immediately, but only when attempting to read the data for a `SELECT` query. The query throws an exception about a non-matching checksum or size of a compressed block. In this case, data parts are added to the verification queue and copied from the replicas if necessary.

If the local set of data differs too much from the expected one, a safety mechanism is triggered. The server enters this in the log and refuses to launch. The reason for this is that this case may indicate a configuration error, such as if a replica on a shard was accidentally configured like a replica on a different shard. However, the thresholds for this mechanism are set fairly low, and this situation might occur during normal failure recovery. In this case, data is restored semi-automatically - by “pushing a button”.
To start recovery, create the node `/path_to_table/replica_name/flags/force_restore_data` in ZooKeeper with any content, or run the command to restore all replicated tables:

1. Install ClickHouse on the server. Define substitutions correctly in the config file that contains the shard identifier and replicas, if you use them.
2. If you had unreplicated tables that must be manually duplicated on the servers, copy their data from a replica (in the directory `/var/lib/clickhouse/data/db_name/table_name/`).
3. Copy table definitions located in `/var/lib/clickhouse/metadata/` from a replica. If a shard or replica identifier is defined explicitly in the table definitions, correct it so that it corresponds to this replica. (Alternatively, start the server and make all the `ATTACH TABLE` queries that should have been in the .sql files in `/var/lib/clickhouse/metadata/`.)
4. To start recovery, create the ZooKeeper node `/path_to_table/replica_name/flags/force_restore_data` with any content, or run the command to restore all replicated tables: `sudo -u clickhouse touch /var/lib/clickhouse/flags/force_restore_data`

Then start the server (restart, if it is already running). Data will be downloaded from replicas.

If you want to get rid of a `ReplicatedMergeTree` table without launching the server:
- Delete the corresponding `.sql` file in the metadata directory (`/var/lib/clickhouse/metadata/`).
- Delete the corresponding path in ZooKeeper (`/path_to_table/replica_name`).
- Delete the corresponding path in ClickHouse Keeper (`/path_to_table/replica_name`).
After this, you can launch the server, create a `MergeTree` table, move the data to its directory, and then restart the server.
