Manipulating Data Skipping Indices

The following operations are available:

  • ALTER TABLE [db].table_name [ON CLUSTER cluster] ADD INDEX name expression TYPE type [GRANULARITY value] [FIRST|AFTER name] - Adds index description to tables metadata.

  • ALTER TABLE [db].table_name [ON CLUSTER cluster] DROP INDEX name - Removes index description from tables metadata and deletes index files from disk. Implemented as a mutation.

  • ALTER TABLE [db.]table_name [ON CLUSTER cluster] MATERIALIZE INDEX name [IN PARTITION partition_name] - Rebuilds the secondary index name for the specified partition_name. Implemented as a mutation. If IN PARTITION part is omitted then it rebuilds the index for the whole table data.

The first two commands are lightweight in a sense that they only change metadata or remove files.

Also, they are replicated, syncing indices metadata via ZooKeeper.

:::note
Index manipulation is supported only for tables with *MergeTree engine (including replicated variants). :::
