# Anonymized Web Analytics Data

This dataset consists of two tables containing anonymized web analytics data with hits (`hits_v1`) and visits (`visits_v1`).

The tables can be downloaded as compressed `tsv.xz` files. In addition to the sample worked with in this document, an extended (7.5GB) version of the `hits` table containing 100 million rows is available as TSV at [https://datasets.clickhouse.com/hits/tsv/hits_100m_obfuscated_v1.tsv.xz](https://datasets.clickhouse.com/hits/tsv/hits_100m_obfuscated_v1.tsv.xz).

## Download and ingest the data

### Download the hits compressed TSV file:

``` bash
curl https://datasets.clickhouse.com/hits/tsv/hits_v1.tsv.xz | unxz --threads=`nproc` > hits_v1.tsv
# Validate the checksum
md5sum hits_v1.tsv
# Checksum should be equal to: f3631b6295bf06989c1437491f7592cb
```

### Create the database and table

```bash
clickhouse-client --query "CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS datasets"
```

For hits_v1

```bash
clickhouse-client --query "CREATE TABLE datasets.hits_v1 ( WatchID UInt64,  JavaEnable UInt8,  Title String,  GoodEvent Int16,  EventTime DateTime,  EventDate Date,  CounterID UInt32,  ClientIP UInt32,  ClientIP6 FixedString(16),  RegionID UInt32,  UserID UInt64,  CounterClass Int8,  OS UInt8,  UserAgent UInt8,  URL String,  Referer String,  URLDomain String,  RefererDomain String,  Refresh UInt8,  IsRobot UInt8,  RefererCategories Array(UInt16),  URLCategories Array(UInt16), URLRegions Array(UInt32),  RefererRegions Array(UInt32),  ResolutionWidth UInt16,  ResolutionHeight UInt16,  ResolutionDepth UInt8,  FlashMajor UInt8, FlashMinor UInt8,  FlashMinor2 String,  NetMajor UInt8,  NetMinor UInt8, UserAgentMajor UInt16,  UserAgentMinor FixedString(2),  CookieEnable UInt8, JavascriptEnable UInt8,  IsMobile UInt8,  MobilePhone UInt8,  MobilePhoneModel String,  Params String,  IPNetworkID UInt32,  TraficSourceID Int8, SearchEngineID UInt16,  SearchPhrase String,  AdvEngineID UInt8,  IsArtifical UInt8,  WindowClientWidth UInt16,  WindowClientHeight UInt16,  ClientTimeZone Int16,  ClientEventTime DateTime,  SilverlightVersion1 UInt8, SilverlightVersion2 UInt8,  SilverlightVersion3 UInt32,  SilverlightVersion4 UInt16,  PageCharset String,  CodeVersion UInt32,  IsLink UInt8,  IsDownload UInt8,  IsNotBounce UInt8,  FUniqID UInt64,  HID UInt32,  IsOldCounter UInt8, IsEvent UInt8,  IsParameter UInt8,  DontCountHits UInt8,  WithHash UInt8, HitColor FixedString(1),  UTCEventTime DateTime,  Age UInt8,  Sex UInt8,  Income UInt8,  Interests UInt16,  Robotness UInt8,  GeneralInterests Array(UInt16), RemoteIP UInt32,  RemoteIP6 FixedString(16),  WindowName Int32,  OpenerName Int32,  HistoryLength Int16,  BrowserLanguage FixedString(2),  BrowserCountry FixedString(2),  SocialNetwork String,  SocialAction String,  HTTPError UInt16, SendTiming Int32,  DNSTiming Int32,  ConnectTiming Int32,  ResponseStartTiming Int32,  ResponseEndTiming Int32,  FetchTiming Int32,  RedirectTiming Int32, DOMInteractiveTiming Int32,  DOMContentLoadedTiming Int32,  DOMCompleteTiming Int32,  LoadEventStartTiming Int32,  LoadEventEndTiming Int32, NSToDOMContentLoadedTiming Int32,  FirstPaintTiming Int32,  RedirectCount Int8, SocialSourceNetworkID UInt8,  SocialSourcePage String,  ParamPrice Int64, ParamOrderID String,  ParamCurrency FixedString(3),  ParamCurrencyID UInt16, GoalsReached Array(UInt32),  OpenstatServiceName String,  OpenstatCampaignID String,  OpenstatAdID String,  OpenstatSourceID String,  UTMSource String, UTMMedium String,  UTMCampaign String,  UTMContent String,  UTMTerm String, FromTag String,  HasGCLID UInt8,  RefererHash UInt64,  URLHash UInt64,  CLID UInt32,  YCLID UInt64,  ShareService String,  ShareURL String,  ShareTitle String,  ParsedParams Nested(Key1 String,  Key2 String, Key3 String, Key4 String, Key5 String,  ValueDouble Float64),  IslandID FixedString(16),  RequestNum UInt32,  RequestTry UInt8) ENGINE = MergeTree() PARTITION BY toYYYYMM(EventDate) ORDER BY (CounterID, EventDate, intHash32(UserID)) SAMPLE BY intHash32(UserID) SETTINGS index_granularity = 8192"
```

Or for hits_100m_obfuscated

```bash
clickhouse-client --query="CREATE TABLE default.hits_100m_obfuscated (WatchID UInt64, JavaEnable UInt8, Title String, GoodEvent Int16, EventTime DateTime, EventDate Date, CounterID UInt32, ClientIP UInt32, RegionID UInt32, UserID UInt64, CounterClass Int8, OS UInt8, UserAgent UInt8, URL String, Referer String, Refresh UInt8, RefererCategoryID UInt16, RefererRegionID UInt32, URLCategoryID UInt16, URLRegionID UInt32, ResolutionWidth UInt16, ResolutionHeight UInt16, ResolutionDepth UInt8, FlashMajor UInt8, FlashMinor UInt8, FlashMinor2 String, NetMajor UInt8, NetMinor UInt8, UserAgentMajor UInt16, UserAgentMinor FixedString(2), CookieEnable UInt8, JavascriptEnable UInt8, IsMobile UInt8, MobilePhone UInt8, MobilePhoneModel String, Params String, IPNetworkID UInt32, TraficSourceID Int8, SearchEngineID UInt16, SearchPhrase String, AdvEngineID UInt8, IsArtifical UInt8, WindowClientWidth UInt16, WindowClientHeight UInt16, ClientTimeZone Int16, ClientEventTime DateTime, SilverlightVersion1 UInt8, SilverlightVersion2 UInt8, SilverlightVersion3 UInt32, SilverlightVersion4 UInt16, PageCharset String, CodeVersion UInt32, IsLink UInt8, IsDownload UInt8, IsNotBounce UInt8, FUniqID UInt64, OriginalURL String, HID UInt32, IsOldCounter UInt8, IsEvent UInt8, IsParameter UInt8, DontCountHits UInt8, WithHash UInt8, HitColor FixedString(1), LocalEventTime DateTime, Age UInt8, Sex UInt8, Income UInt8, Interests UInt16, Robotness UInt8, RemoteIP UInt32, WindowName Int32, OpenerName Int32, HistoryLength Int16, BrowserLanguage FixedString(2), BrowserCountry FixedString(2), SocialNetwork String, SocialAction String, HTTPError UInt16, SendTiming UInt32, DNSTiming UInt32, ConnectTiming UInt32, ResponseStartTiming UInt32, ResponseEndTiming UInt32, FetchTiming UInt32, SocialSourceNetworkID UInt8, SocialSourcePage String, ParamPrice Int64, ParamOrderID String, ParamCurrency FixedString(3), ParamCurrencyID UInt16, OpenstatServiceName String, OpenstatCampaignID String, OpenstatAdID String, OpenstatSourceID String, UTMSource String, UTMMedium String, UTMCampaign String, UTMContent String, UTMTerm String, FromTag String, HasGCLID UInt8, RefererHash UInt64, URLHash UInt64, CLID UInt32) ENGINE = MergeTree() PARTITION BY toYYYYMM(EventDate) ORDER  BY (CounterID, EventDate, intHash32(UserID)) SAMPLE BY intHash32(UserID) SETTINGS index_granularity = 8192"
```

### Import the hits data:

```bash
cat hits_v1.tsv | clickhouse-client --query "INSERT INTO datasets.hits_v1 FORMAT TSV" --max_insert_block_size=100000
```

Verify the count of rows

```bash
clickhouse-client --query "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM datasets.hits_v1"
```

```response

### Download the visits compressed TSV file:

``` bash
curl https://datasets.clickhouse.com/visits/tsv/visits_v1.tsv.xz | unxz --threads=`nproc` > visits_v1.tsv
# Validate the checksum
md5sum visits_v1.tsv
# Checksum should be equal to: 6dafe1a0f24e59e3fc2d0fed85601de6
```

### Create the visits table

### Import the visits data
```bash
cat visits_v1.tsv | clickhouse-client --query "INSERT INTO datasets.visits_v1 FORMAT TSV" --max_insert_block_size=100000
```

Verify the count
```bash
clickhouse-client --query "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM datasets.visits_v1"
```

```response

## An example JOIN 

The hits and visits dataset is used in the ClickHouse test
routines, this is one of the queries from the test suite. The rest
of the tests are referenced in the *Next Steps* section at the
end of this page.

```sql
clickhouse-client --query "SELECT
    EventDate,
    hits,
    visits
FROM
(
    SELECT
        EventDate,
        count() AS hits
    FROM datasets.hits_v1
    GROUP BY EventDate
) ANY LEFT JOIN
(
    SELECT
        StartDate AS EventDate,
        sum(Sign) AS visits
    FROM datasets.visits_v1
    GROUP BY EventDate
) USING EventDate
ORDER BY hits DESC
LIMIT 10
SETTINGS joined_subquery_requires_alias = 0
FORMAT PrettyCompact"
```

## Next Steps

[A Practical Introduction to Sparse Primary Indexes in ClickHouse](../../guides/improving-query-performance/sparse-primary-indexes/sparse-primary-indexes-intro.md) uses the hits dataset to discuss the differences in ClickHouse indexing compared to traditional relational databases, how ClickHouse builds and uses a sparse primary index, and indexing best practices.

Additional examples of queries to these tables can be found among the ClickHouse [stateful tests](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/blob/d7129855757f38ceec3e4ecc6dafacdabe9b178f/tests/queries/1_stateful/00172_parallel_join.sql).

:::note
The test suite uses a database name `test`, and the tables are named `hits` and `visits`.  You can rename your database and tables, or edit the SQL from the test file.
