The dataset can be obtained in a couple of ways: - insert the data directly into ClickHouse Cloud from S3 - download prepared partitions ## Retrieve the Data from S3 Let's grab a small subset of the data for getting familiar with it. The data is in TSV files in AWS S3, which is easily streamed into ClickHouse Cloud using the `s3` table function. Start by creating a table for the taxi rides: ```sql CREATE TABLE trips ( trip_id UInt32, pickup_datetime DateTime, dropoff_datetime DateTime, pickup_longitude Nullable(Float64), pickup_latitude Nullable(Float64), dropoff_longitude Nullable(Float64), dropoff_latitude Nullable(Float64), passenger_count UInt8, trip_distance Float32, fare_amount Float32, extra Float32, tip_amount Float32, tolls_amount Float32, total_amount Float32, payment_type Enum('CSH' = 1, 'CRE' = 2, 'NOC' = 3, 'DIS' = 4, 'UNK' = 5), pickup_ntaname LowCardinality(String), dropoff_ntaname LowCardinality(String) ) ENGINE = MergeTree PRIMARY KEY (pickup_datetime, dropoff_datetime) ``` The following command streams three files from an S3 bucket into the `trips` table (the `{0..2}` syntax is a wildcard for the values 0, 1, and 2): ```sql INSERT INTO trips SELECT trip_id, pickup_datetime, dropoff_datetime, pickup_longitude, pickup_latitude, dropoff_longitude, dropoff_latitude, passenger_count, trip_distance, fare_amount, extra, tip_amount, tolls_amount, total_amount, payment_type, pickup_ntaname, dropoff_ntaname FROM s3( 'https://datasets-documentation.s3.eu-west-3.amazonaws.com/nyc-taxi/trips_{0..2}.gz', 'TabSeparatedWithNames' ) ``` Let's see how many rows were inserted: ```sql SELECT count() FROM trips ``` Each TSV file has about 1M rows, and the three files have 3,000,317 rows. Let's look at a few rows: ```sql SELECT * FROM trips LIMIT 10 ``` Notice there are columns for the pickup and dropoff dates, geo coordinates, fare details, New York neighborhoods, and more: ```response ┌────trip_id─┬─────pickup_datetime─┬────dropoff_datetime─┬───pickup_longitude─┬────pickup_latitude─┬──dropoff_longitude─┬───dropoff_latitude─┬─passenger_count─┬─trip_distance─┬─fare_amount─┬─extra─┬─tip_amount─┬─tolls_amount─┬─total_amount─┬─payment_type─┬─pickup_ntaname─────────────────────────────┬─dropoff_ntaname────────────────────────────┐ │ 1200864931 │ 2015-07-01 00:00:13 │ 2015-07-01 00:14:41 │ -73.99046325683594 │ 40.746116638183594 │ -73.97918701171875 │ 40.78467559814453 │ 5 │ 3.54 │ 13.5 │ 0.5 │ 1 │ 0 │ 15.8 │ CSH │ Midtown-Midtown South │ Upper West Side │ │ 1200018648 │ 2015-07-01 00:00:16 │ 2015-07-01 00:02:57 │ -73.78358459472656 │ 40.648677825927734 │ -73.80242919921875 │ 40.64767837524414 │ 1 │ 1.45 │ 6 │ 0.5 │ 0 │ 0 │ 7.3 │ CRE │ Airport │ Airport │ │ 1201452450 │ 2015-07-01 00:00:20 │ 2015-07-01 00:11:07 │ -73.98579406738281 │ 40.72777557373047 │ -74.00482177734375 │ 40.73748779296875 │ 5 │ 1.56 │ 8.5 │ 0.5 │ 1.96 │ 0 │ 11.76 │ CSH │ East Village │ West Village │ │ 1202368372 │ 2015-07-01 00:00:40 │ 2015-07-01 00:05:46 │ -74.00206756591797 │ 40.73833084106445 │ -74.00658416748047 │ 40.74875259399414 │ 2 │ 1 │ 6 │ 0.5 │ 0 │ 0 │ 7.3 │ CRE │ West Village │ Hudson Yards-Chelsea-Flatiron-Union Square │ │ 1200831168 │ 2015-07-01 00:01:06 │ 2015-07-01 00:09:23 │ -73.98748016357422 │ 40.74344253540039 │ -74.00575256347656 │ 40.716793060302734 │ 1 │ 2.3 │ 9 │ 0.5 │ 2 │ 0 │ 12.3 │ CSH │ Hudson Yards-Chelsea-Flatiron-Union Square │ SoHo-TriBeCa-Civic Center-Little Italy │ │ 1201362116 │ 2015-07-01 00:01:07 │ 2015-07-01 00:03:31 │ -73.9926986694336 │ 40.75826644897461 │ -73.98628997802734 │ 40.76075744628906 │ 1 │ 0.6 │ 4 │ 0.5 │ 0 │ 0 │ 5.3 │ CRE │ Clinton │ Midtown-Midtown South │ │ 1200639419 │ 2015-07-01 00:01:13 │ 2015-07-01 00:03:56 │ -74.00382995605469 │ 40.741981506347656 │ -73.99711608886719 │ 40.742271423339844 │ 1 │ 0.49 │ 4 │ 0.5 │ 0 │ 0 │ 5.3 │ CRE │ Hudson Yards-Chelsea-Flatiron-Union Square │ Hudson Yards-Chelsea-Flatiron-Union Square │ │ 1201181622 │ 2015-07-01 00:01:17 │ 2015-07-01 00:05:12 │ -73.9512710571289 │ 40.78261947631836 │ -73.95230865478516 │ 40.77476119995117 │ 4 │ 0.97 │ 5 │ 0.5 │ 1 │ 0 │ 7.3 │ CSH │ Upper East Side-Carnegie Hill │ Yorkville │ │ 1200978273 │ 2015-07-01 00:01:28 │ 2015-07-01 00:09:46 │ -74.00822448730469 │ 40.72113037109375 │ -74.00422668457031 │ 40.70782470703125 │ 1 │ 1.71 │ 8.5 │ 0.5 │ 1.96 │ 0 │ 11.76 │ CSH │ SoHo-TriBeCa-Civic Center-Little Italy │ Battery Park City-Lower Manhattan │ │ 1203283366 │ 2015-07-01 00:01:47 │ 2015-07-01 00:24:26 │ -73.98199462890625 │ 40.77289962768555 │ -73.91968536376953 │ 40.766082763671875 │ 3 │ 5.26 │ 19.5 │ 0.5 │ 5.2 │ 0 │ 26 │ CSH │ Lincoln Square │ Astoria │ └────────────┴─────────────────────┴─────────────────────┴────────────────────┴────────────────────┴────────────────────┴────────────────────┴─────────────────┴───────────────┴─────────────┴───────┴────────────┴──────────────┴──────────────┴──────────────┴────────────────────────────────────────────┴────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ``` Let's run a few queries.

Downloading will result in about 227 GB of uncompressed data in CSV files. The download takes about an hour over a 1 Gbit connection (parallel downloading from s3.amazonaws.com recovers at least half of a 1 Gbit channel). Some of the files might not download fully.

On three servers: Q1: 0.212 seconds. Q2: 0.438 seconds. Q3: 0.733 seconds. Q4: 1.241 seconds. No surprises here, since the queries are scaled linearly. We also have the results from a cluster of 140 servers: Q1: 0.028 sec. Q2: 0.043 sec. Q3: 0.051 sec. Q4: 0.072 sec. In this case, the query processing time is determined above all by network latency. We ran queries using a client located in a different datacenter than where the cluster was located, which added about 20 ms of latency. ## Summary {#summary} | servers | Q1 | Q2 | Q3 | Q4 | |---------|-------|-------|-------|-------| | 1, E5-2650v2 | 0.490 | 1.224 | 2.104 | 3.593 | | 3, E5-2650v2 | 0.212 | 0.438 | 0.733 | 1.241 | | 1, AWS c5n.4xlarge | 0.249 | 1.279 | 1.738 | 3.527 | | 1, AWS c5n.9xlarge | 0.130 | 0.584 | 0.777 | 1.811 | | 3, AWS c5n.9xlarge | 0.057 | 0.231 | 0.285 | 0.641 | | 140, E5-2650v2 | 0.028 | 0.043 | 0.051 | 0.072 |
