system.replication_queue

Contains information about tasks from replication queues stored in ZooKeeper for tables in the ReplicatedMergeTree family.

Columns:

• database (String) — Name of the database.

• table (String) — Name of the table.

• replica_name (String) — Replica name in ZooKeeper. Different replicas of the same table have different names.

• position (UInt32) — Position of the task in the queue.

• node_name (String) — Node name in ZooKeeper.

• type (String) — Type of the task in the queue, one of:

  • GET_PART — Get the part from another replica.
  • ATTACH_PART — Attach the part, possibly from our own replica (if found in the detached folder). You may think of it as a GET_PART with some optimizations as they're nearly identical.
  • MERGE_PARTS — Merge the parts.
  • DROP_RANGE — Delete the parts in the specified partition in the specified number range.
  • CLEAR_COLUMN — NOTE: Deprecated. Drop specific column from specified partition.
  • CLEAR_INDEX — NOTE: Deprecated. Drop specific index from specified partition.
  • REPLACE_RANGE — Drop a certain range of parts and replace them with new ones.
  • MUTATE_PART — Apply one or several mutations to the part.
  • ALTER_METADATA — Apply alter modification according to global /metadata and /columns paths.

• create_time (Datetime) — Date and time when the task was submitted for execution.

• required_quorum (UInt32) — The number of replicas waiting for the task to complete with confirmation of completion. This column is only relevant for the GET_PARTS task.

• source_replica (String) — Name of the source replica.

• new_part_name (String) — Name of the new part.

• parts_to_merge (Array (String)) — Names of parts to merge or update.

• is_detach (UInt8) — The flag indicates whether the DETACH_PARTS task is in the queue.

• is_currently_executing (UInt8) — The flag indicates whether a specific task is being performed right now.

• num_tries (UInt32) — The number of failed attempts to complete the task.

• last_exception (String) — Text message about the last error that occurred (if any).

• last_attempt_time (Datetime) — Date and time when the task was last attempted.

• num_postponed (UInt32) — The number of postponed tasks.

• postpone_reason (String) — The reason why the task was postponed.

• last_postpone_time (Datetime) — Date and time when the task was last postponed.

• merge_type (String) — Type of the current merge. Empty if it's a mutation.
