ClickHouse is a true column-oriented DBMS. Data is stored by columns, and during the execution of arrays (vectors or chunks of columns). Whenever possible, operations are dispatched on arrays, rather than on individual values. It is called “vectorized query execution” and it helps lower the cost of actual data processing.

> This idea is nothing new. It dates back to the `APL` (A programming language, 1957) and its descendants: `A +` (APL dialect), `J` (1990), `K` (1993), and `Q` (programming language from Kx Systems, 2003). Array programming is used in scientific data processing. Neither is this idea something new in relational databases: for example, it is used in the `VectorWise` system (also known as Actian Vector Analytic Database by Actian Corporation).

We maintain full backward and forward compatibility for the server TCP protocol: old clients can talk to new servers, and new clients can talk to old servers. But we do not want to maintain it eternally, and we are removing support for old versions after about one year.
!!! note "Note"
For most external applications, we recommend using the HTTP interface because it is simple and easy to use. The TCP protocol is more tightly linked to internal data structures: it uses an internal format for passing blocks of data, and it uses custom framing for compressed data. We havent released a C library for that protocol because it requires linking most of the ClickHouse codebase, which is not practical.

Besides, each replica stores its state in ZooKeeper as the set of parts and its checksums. When the state on the local filesystem diverges from the reference state in ZooKeeper, the replica restores its consistency by downloading missing and broken parts from other replicas. When there is some unexpected or broken data in the local filesystem, ClickHouse does not remove it, but moves it to a separate directory and forgets it.

The ClickHouse cluster consists of independent shards, and each shard consists of replicas. The cluster is **not elastic**, so after adding a new shard, data is not rebalanced between shards automatically. Instead, the cluster load is supposed to be adjusted to be uneven. This implementation gives you more control, and it is ok for relatively small clusters, such as tens of nodes. But for clusters with hundreds of nodes that we are using in production, this approach becomes a significant drawback. We should implement a table engine that spans across the cluster with dynamically replicated regions that could be split and balanced between clusters automatically.

You can download Ubuntu from the website: https://www.ubuntu.com/#download. Please create a virtual machine from the downloaded image (you should reserve at least 4GB of RAM for it). To run a command-line terminal in Ubuntu, please locate a program containing the word “terminal” in its name (gnome-terminal, konsole etc.) or just press Ctrl+Alt+T.

Just in case, it is worth mentioning that CLion creates `build` path on its own, it also on its own selects `debug` for build type, for configuration it uses a version of CMake that is defined in CLion and not the one installed by you, and finally, CLion will use `make` to run build tasks instead of `ninja`. This is normal behaviour, just keep that in mind to avoid confusion.
## Debugging
Many graphical IDEs offer with an integrated debugger but you can also use a standalone debugger.

It is easy to break replication with table overrides if not used with care. For example:
* If an ALIAS column is added with a table override, and a column with the same name is later added to the source
MySQL table, the converted ALTER TABLE query in ClickHouse will fail and replication stops.
* It is currently possible to add overrides that reference nullable columns where not-nullable are required, such as in
`ORDER BY` or `PARTITION BY`. This will cause CREATE TABLE queries that will fail, also causing replication to stop.

`Log` differs from [TinyLog](../../../engines/table-engines/log-family/tinylog.md) in that a small file of "marks" resides with the column files. These marks are written on every data block and contain offsets that indicate where to start reading the file in order to skip the specified number of rows. This makes it possible to read table data in multiple threads.
For concurrent data access, the read operations can be performed simultaneously, while write operations block reads and each other.
The `Log` engine does not support indexes. Similarly, if writing to a table failed, the table is broken, and reading from it returns an error. The `Log` engine is appropriate for temporary data, write-once tables, and for testing or demonstration purposes.

- We use `FORMAT CSVWithNames` but the header in CSV will be ignored (by command line parameter `--input_format_with_names_use_header 0`), because the header does not contain the name for the first field;
- File is using only double quotes to enclose CSV strings; some strings are not enclosed in double quotes, and single quote must not be parsed as the string enclosing - that's why we also add the `--format_csv_allow_single_quote 0` parameter;
- Some strings from CSV cannot parse, because they contain `\M/` sequence at the beginning of the value; the only value starting with backslash in CSV can be `\N` that is parsed as SQL NULL. We add `--input_format_allow_errors_num 10` parameter and up to ten malformed records can be skipped;
- There are arrays for ingredients, directions and NER fields; these arrays are represented in unusual form: they are serialized into string as JSON and then placed in CSV - we parse them as String and then use [JSONExtract](../../sql-reference/functions/json-functions/) function to transform it to Array.

# What Is a Columnar Database? {#what-is-a-columnar-database}
A columnar database stores data of each column independently. This allows to read data from disks only for those columns that are used in any given query. The cost is that operations that affect whole rows become proportionally more expensive. The synonym for a columnar database is a column-oriented database management system. ClickHouse is a typical example of such a system.
Key columnar database advantages are:
- Queries that use only a few columns out of many.
- Aggregating queries against large volumes of data.
- Column-wise data compression.
Here is the illustration of the difference between traditional row-oriented systems and columnar databases when building reports:
**Traditional row-oriented**
![Traditional row-oriented](https://clickhouse.com/docs/en/images/row-oriented.gif#)
**Columnar**
![Columnar](https://clickhouse.com/docs/en/images/column-oriented.gif#)
A columnar database is a preferred choice for analytical applications because it allows to have many columns in a table just in case, but do not pay the cost for unused columns on read query execution time. Column-oriented databases are designed for big data processing and data warehousing, because they often natively scale using distributed clusters of low-cost hardware to increase throughput. ClickHouse does it with combination of [distributed](../../engines/table-engines/special/distributed.md) and [replicated](../../engines/table-engines/mergetree-family/replication.md) tables.

# What Does “ClickHouse” Mean? {#what-does-clickhouse-mean}
Its a combination of “**Click**stream” and “Data ware**House**”. It comes from the original use case at Yandex.Metrica, where ClickHouse was supposed to keep records of all clicks by people from all over the Internet, and it still does the job. You can read more about this use case on [ClickHouse history](../../introduction/history.md) page.
This two-part meaning has two consequences:
- The only correct way to write Click**H**ouse is with capital H.
- If you need to abbreviate it, use **CH**. For some historical reasons, abbreviating as CK is also popular in China, mostly because one of the first talks about ClickHouse in Chinese used this form.
!!! info "Fun fact"
Many years after ClickHouse got its name, this approach of combining two words that are meaningful on their own has been highlighted as the best way to name a database in a [research by Andy Pavlo](https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~pavlo/blog/2020/03/on-naming-a-database-management-system.html), an Associate Professor of Databases at Carnegie Mellon University.

# Why Not Use Something Like MapReduce? {#why-not-use-something-like-mapreduce}
We can refer to systems like MapReduce as distributed computing systems in which the reduce operation is based on distributed sorting. The most common open-source solution in this class is [Apache Hadoop](http://hadoop.apache.org). Large IT companies often have proprietary in-house solutions.
These systems arent appropriate for online queries due to their high latency. In other words, they cant be used as the back-end for a web interface. These types of systems arent useful for real-time data updates. Distributed sorting isnt the best way to perform reduce operations if the result of the operation and all the intermediate results (if there are any) are located in the RAM of a single server, which is usually the case for online queries. In such a case, a hash table is an optimal way to perform reduce operations. A common approach to optimizing map-reduce tasks is pre-aggregation (partial reduce) using a hash table in RAM. The user performs this optimization manually. Distributed sorting is one of the main causes of reduced performance when running simple map-reduce tasks.
Most MapReduce implementations allow you to execute arbitrary code on a cluster. But a declarative query language is better suited to OLAP to run experiments quickly. For example, Hadoop has Hive and Pig. Also consider Cloudera Impala or Shark (outdated) for Spark, as well as Spark SQL, Presto, and Apache Drill. Performance when running such tasks is highly sub-optimal compared to specialized systems, but relatively high latency makes it unrealistic to use these systems as the backend for a web interface.

# What Does “Не тормозит” Mean? {#what-does-ne-tormozit-mean}
This question usually arises when people see official ClickHouse t-shirts. They have large words **“ClickHouse не тормозит”** on the front.
Before ClickHouse became open-source, it has been developed as an in-house storage system by the largest Russian IT company, Yandex. Thats why it initially got its slogan in Russian, which is “не тормозит” (pronounced as “ne tormozit”). After the open-source release we first produced some of those t-shirts for events in Russia and it was a no-brainer to use the slogan as-is.
One of the following batches of those t-shirts was supposed to be given away on events outside of Russia and we tried to make the English version of the slogan. Unfortunately, the Russian language is kind of elegant in terms of expressing stuff and there was a restriction of limited space on a t-shirt, so we failed to come up with good enough translation (most options appeared to be either long or inaccurate) and decided to keep the slogan in Russian even on t-shirts produced for international events. It appeared to be a great decision because people all over the world get positively surprised and curious when they see it.
So, what does it mean? Here are some ways to translate *“не тормозит”*:
- If you translate it literally, itd be something like *“ClickHouse does not press the brake pedal”*.
- If youd want to express it as close to how it sounds to a Russian person with IT background, itd be something like *“If your larger system lags, its not because it uses ClickHouse”*.
- Shorter, but not so precise versions could be *“ClickHouse is not slow”*, *“ClickHouse does not lag”* or just *“ClickHouse is fast”*.
If you havent seen one of those t-shirts in person, you can check them out online in many ClickHouse-related videos. For example, this one:
![iframe](https://www.youtube.com/embed/bSyQahMVZ7w)
P.S. These t-shirts are not for sale, they are given away for free on most [ClickHouse Meetups](https://clickhouse.com/#meet), usually for best questions or other forms of active participation.

title: What is OLAP?
toc_hidden: true
toc_priority: 100

# What Is OLAP? {#what-is-olap}
[OLAP](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Online_analytical_processing) stands for Online Analytical Processing. It is a broad term that can be looked at from two perspectives: technical and business. But at the very high level, you can just read these words backward:
Processing
: Some source data is processed…
Analytical
: …to produce some analytical reports and insights…
Online
: …in real-time.
## OLAP from the Business Perspective {#olap-from-the-business-perspective}
In recent years, business people started to realize the value of data. Companies who make their decisions blindly, more often than not fail to keep up with the competition. The data-driven approach of successful companies forces them to collect all data that might be remotely useful for making business decisions and need mechanisms to timely analyze them. Heres where OLAP database management systems (DBMS) come in.
In a business sense, OLAP allows companies to continuously plan, analyze, and report operational activities, thus maximizing efficiency, reducing expenses, and ultimately conquering the market share. It could be done either in an in-house system or outsourced to SaaS providers like web/mobile analytics services, CRM services, etc. OLAP is the technology behind many BI applications (Business Intelligence).
ClickHouse is an OLAP database management system that is pretty often used as a backend for those SaaS solutions for analyzing domain-specific data. However, some businesses are still reluctant to share their data with third-party providers and an in-house data warehouse scenario is also viable.
## OLAP from the Technical Perspective {#olap-from-the-technical-perspective}
All database management systems could be classified into two groups: OLAP (Online **Analytical** Processing) and OLTP (Online **Transactional** Processing). Former focuses on building reports, each based on large volumes of historical data, but doing it not so frequently. While the latter usually handle a continuous stream of transactions, constantly modifying the current state of data.
In practice OLAP and OLTP are not categories, its more like a spectrum. Most real systems usually focus on one of them but provide some solutions or workarounds if the opposite kind of workload is also desired. This situation often forces businesses to operate multiple storage systems integrated, which might be not so big deal but having more systems make it more expensive to maintain. So the trend of recent years is HTAP (**Hybrid Transactional/Analytical Processing**) when both kinds of the workload are handled equally well by a single database management system.
Even if a DBMS started as a pure OLAP or pure OLTP, they are forced to move towards that HTAP direction to keep up with their competition. And ClickHouse is no exception, initially, it has been designed as [fast-as-possible OLAP system](../../faq/general/why-clickhouse-is-so-fast.md) and it still does not have full-fledged transaction support, but some features like consistent read/writes and mutations for updating/deleting data had to be added.
The fundamental trade-off between OLAP and OLTP systems remains:
- To build analytical reports efficiently its crucial to be able to read columns separately, thus most OLAP databases are [columnar](../../faq/general/columnar-database.md),
- While storing columns separately increases costs of operations on rows, like append or in-place modification, proportionally to the number of columns (which can be huge if the systems try to collect all details of an event just in case). Thus, most OLTP systems store data arranged by rows.

# Who Is Using ClickHouse? {#who-is-using-clickhouse}
Being an open-source product makes this question not so straightforward to answer. You do not have to tell anyone if you want to start using ClickHouse, you just go grab source code or pre-compiled packages. Theres no contract to sign and the [Apache 2.0 license](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/blob/master/LICENSE) allows for unconstrained software distribution.
Also, the technology stack is often in a grey zone of whats covered by an NDA. Some companies consider technologies they use as a competitive advantage even if they are open-source and do not allow employees to share any details publicly. Some see some PR risks and allow employees to share implementation details only with their PR department approval.
So how to tell who is using ClickHouse?
One way is to **ask around**. If its not in writing, people are much more willing to share what technologies are used in their companies, what the use cases are, what kind of hardware is used, data volumes, etc. Were talking with users regularly on [ClickHouse Meetups](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChtmrD-dsdpspr42P_PyRAw/playlists) all over the world and have heard stories about 1000+ companies that use ClickHouse. Unfortunately, thats not reproducible and we try to treat such stories as if they were told under NDA to avoid any potential troubles. But you can come to any of our future meetups and talk with other users on your own. There are multiple ways how meetups are announced, for example, you can subscribe to [our Twitter](http://twitter.com/ClickHouseDB/).
The second way is to look for companies **publicly saying** that they use ClickHouse. Its more substantial because theres usually some hard evidence like a blog post, talk video recording, slide deck, etc. We collect the collection of links to such evidence on our **[Adopters](../../introduction/adopters.md)** page. Feel free to contribute the story of your employer or just some links youve stumbled upon (but try not to violate your NDA in the process).
You can find names of very large companies in the adopters list, like Bloomberg, Cisco, China Telecom, Tencent, or Uber, but with the first approach, we found that there are many more. For example, if you take [the list of largest IT companies by Forbes (2020)](https://www.forbes.com/sites/hanktucker/2020/05/13/worlds-largest-technology-companies-2020-apple-stays-on-top-zoom-and-uber-debut/) over half of them are using ClickHouse in some way. Also, it would be unfair not to mention [Yandex](../../introduction/history.md), the company which initially open-sourced ClickHouse in 2016 and happens to be one of the largest IT companies in Europe.

title: Why ClickHouse is so fast?

# Why ClickHouse Is So Fast? {#why-clickhouse-is-so-fast}
It was designed to be fast. Query execution performance has always been a top priority during the development process, but other important characteristics like user-friendliness, scalability, and security were also considered so ClickHouse could become a real production system.
ClickHouse was initially built as a prototype to do just a single task well: to filter and aggregate data as fast as possible. Thats what needs to be done to build a typical analytical report and thats what a typical [GROUP BY](../../sql-reference/statements/select/group-by.md) query does. ClickHouse team has made several high-level decisions that combined made achieving this task possible:
Column-oriented storage
: Source data often contain hundreds or even thousands of columns, while a report can use just a few of them. The system needs to avoid reading unnecessary columns, or most expensive disk read operations would be wasted.
Indexes
: ClickHouse keeps data structures in memory that allows reading not only used columns but only necessary row ranges of those columns.
Data compression
: Storing different values of the same column together often leads to better compression ratios (compared to row-oriented systems) because in real data column often has the same or not so many different values for neighboring rows. In addition to general-purpose compression, ClickHouse supports [specialized codecs](../../sql-reference/statements/create/table.md#create-query-specialized-codecs) that can make data even more compact.
Vectorized query execution
: ClickHouse not only stores data in columns but also processes data in columns. It leads to better CPU cache utilization and allows for [SIMD](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SIMD) CPU instructions usage.
Scalability
: ClickHouse can leverage all available CPU cores and disks to execute even a single query. Not only on a single server but all CPU cores and disks of a cluster as well.
But many other database management systems use similar techniques. What really makes ClickHouse stand out is **attention to low-level details**. Most programming languages provide implementations for most common algorithms and data structures, but they tend to be too generic to be effective. Every task can be considered as a landscape with various characteristics, instead of just throwing in random implementation. For example, if you need a hash table, here are some key questions to consider:
- Which hash function to choose?
- Collision resolution algorithm: [open addressing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_addressing) vs [chaining](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_table#Separate_chaining)?
- Memory layout: one array for keys and values or separate arrays? Will it store small or large values?
- Fill factor: when and how to resize? How to move values around on resize?
- Will values be removed and which algorithm will work better if they will?
- Will we need fast probing with bitmaps, inline placement of string keys, support for non-movable values, prefetch, and batching?
Hash table is a key data structure for `GROUP BY` implementation and ClickHouse automatically chooses one of [30+ variations](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/blob/master/src/Interpreters/Aggregator.h) for each specific query.
The same goes for algorithms, for example, in sorting you might consider:
- What will be sorted: an array of numbers, tuples, strings, or structures?
- Is all data available completely in RAM?
- Do we need a stable sort?
- Do we need a full sort? Maybe partial sort or n-th element will suffice?
- How to implement comparisons?
- Are we sorting data that has already been partially sorted?
Algorithms that they rely on characteristics of data they are working with can often do better than their generic counterparts. If it is not really known in advance, the system can try various implementations and choose the one that works best in runtime. For example, see an [article on how LZ4 decompression is implemented in ClickHouse](https://habr.com/en/company/yandex/blog/457612/).
Last but not least, the ClickHouse team always monitors the Internet on people claiming that they came up with the best implementation, algorithm, or data structure to do something and tries it out. Those claims mostly appear to be false, but from time to time youll indeed find a gem.
!!! info "Tips for building your own high-performance software"
- Keep in mind low-level details when designing your system.
- Design based on hardware capabilities.
- Choose data structures and abstractions based on the needs of the task.
- Provide specializations for special cases.
- Try new, “best” algorithms, that you read about yesterday.
- Choose an algorithm in runtime based on statistics.
- Benchmark on real datasets.
- Test for performance regressions in CI.
- Measure and observe everything.

# How Do I Export Data from ClickHouse to a File? {#how-to-export-to-file}
## Using INTO OUTFILE Clause {#using-into-outfile-clause}
Add an [INTO OUTFILE](../../sql-reference/statements/select/into-outfile.md#into-outfile-clause) clause to your query.
For example:
``` sql
SELECT * FROM table INTO OUTFILE 'file'
```
By default, ClickHouse uses the [TabSeparated](../../interfaces/formats.md#tabseparated) format for output data. To select the [data format](../../interfaces/formats.md), use the [FORMAT clause](../../sql-reference/statements/select/format.md#format-clause).
For example:
``` sql
SELECT * FROM table INTO OUTFILE 'file' FORMAT CSV
```
## Using a File-Engine Table {#using-a-file-engine-table}
See [File](../../engines/table-engines/special/file.md) table engine.
## Using Command-Line Redirection {#using-command-line-redirection}
``` bash
$ clickhouse-client --query "SELECT * from table" --format FormatName > result.txt
```
See [clickhouse-client](../../interfaces/cli.md).
