Update nyc-taxi.md 
- Add enum 'UNK' = 5 to `payment_type` to avoid `Unknown element 'UNK' for enum` error when loading trips_*.gz
- Change url table function to s3 table function as described in the earlier paragraph

/en/getting-started/example-datasets/nyc-taxi New York Taxi Data 2 Data for billions of taxi and for-hire vehicle (Uber, Lyft, etc.) trips originating in New York City since 2009

New York Taxi Data

The New York taxi data consists of 3+ billion taxi and for-hire vehicle (Uber, Lyft, etc.) trips originating in New York City since 2009. 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:

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):

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:

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:

SELECT *
FROM trips
LIMIT 10

Notice there are columns for the pickup and dropoff dates, geo coordinates, fare details, New York neighborhoods, and more:

Let's run a few queries. This query shows us the top 10 neighborhoods that have the most frequent pickups:

SELECT
   pickup_ntaname,
   count(*) AS count
FROM trips
GROUP BY pickup_ntaname
ORDER BY count DESC
LIMIT 10

The result is:

Here's a correlation between the number of passengers and the distance of the trip:

SELECT
   passenger_count,
   toYear(pickup_datetime) AS year,
   round(trip_distance) AS distance,
   count(*)
FROM trips
GROUP BY passenger_count, year, distance
ORDER BY year, count(*) DESC

Download of Prepared Partitions

See https://github.com/toddwschneider/nyc-taxi-data and http://tech.marksblogg.com/billion-nyc-taxi-rides-redshift.html for the description of a dataset and instructions for downloading.

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. Check the file sizes and re-download any that seem doubtful.

$ curl -O https://datasets.clickhouse.com/trips_mergetree/partitions/trips_mergetree.tar
$ tar xvf trips_mergetree.tar -C /var/lib/clickhouse # path to ClickHouse data directory
$ # check permissions of unpacked data, fix if required
$ sudo service clickhouse-server restart
$ clickhouse-client --query "select count(*) from datasets.trips_mergetree"

:::info If you will run the queries described below, you have to use the full table name, datasets.trips_mergetree. :::

On the source server:

CREATE TABLE trips_mergetree_x3 AS trips_mergetree_third ENGINE = Distributed(perftest, default, trips_mergetree_third, rand())

The following query redistributes data:

INSERT INTO trips_mergetree_x3 SELECT * FROM trips_mergetree

This takes 2454 seconds.

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.
