|
|
Data, processed in ClickHouse, is usually stored in the local file system — on the same machine with the ClickHouse server. That requires large-capacity disks, which can be expensive enough. To avoid that you can store the data remotely — on [Amazon S3](https://aws.amazon.com/s3/) disks or in the Hadoop Distributed File System ([HDFS](https://hadoop.apache.org/docs/current/hadoop-project-dist/hadoop-hdfs/HdfsDesign.html)).
|
|
|
|
To work with data stored on `Amazon S3` disks use [S3](/docs/en/engines/table-engines/integrations/s3.md) table engine, and to work with data in the Hadoop Distributed File System — [HDFS](/docs/en/engines/table-engines/integrations/hdfs.md) table engine.
|
|
|
|
To load data from a web server with static files use a disk with type [web](#storing-data-on-webserver).
|
|
|
|
## Configuring HDFS {#configuring-hdfs}
|
|
|
|
[MergeTree](/docs/en/engines/table-engines/mergetree-family/mergetree.md) and [Log](/docs/en/engines/table-engines/log-family/log.md) family table engines can store data to HDFS using a disk with type `HDFS`.
|
|
|
|

|
|
<min_bytes_for_wide_part>0</min_bytes_for_wide_part>
|
|
</merge_tree>
|
|
</clickhouse>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Required parameters:
|
|
|
|
- `endpoint` — HDFS endpoint URL in `path` format. Endpoint URL should contain a root path to store data.
|
|
|
|
Optional parameters:
|
|
|
|
- `min_bytes_for_seek` — The minimal number of bytes to use seek operation instead of sequential read. Default value: `1 Mb`.
|
|
|
|
## Using Virtual File System for Data Encryption {#encrypted-virtual-file-system}
|
|
|
|
You can encrypt the data stored on [S3](/docs/en/engines/table-engines/mergetree-family/mergetree.md/#table_engine-mergetree-s3), or [HDFS](#configuring-hdfs) external disks, or on a local disk. To turn on the encryption mode, in the configuration file you must define a disk with the type `encrypted` and choose a disk on which the data will be saved. An `encrypted` disk ciphers all written files on the fly, and when you read files from an `encrypted` disk it deciphers them automatically. So you can work with an `encrypted` disk like with a normal one.
|
|
|
|
Example of disk configuration:
|
|
|
|
``` xml
|
|
<disks>
|
|
<disk1>
|
|
<type>local</type>
|
|
<path>/path1/</path>
|
|
</disk1>
|
|
<disk2>
|
|
<type>encrypted</type>
|
|
<disk>disk1</disk>
|
|
<path>path2/</path>
|
|
<key>_16_ascii_chars_</key>
|
|
</disk2>
|
|
</disks>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For example, when ClickHouse writes data from some table to a file `store/all_1_1_0/data.bin` to `disk1`, then in fact this file will be written to the physical disk along the path `/path1/store/all_1_1_0/data.bin`.
|
|
|
|
When writing the same file to `disk2`, it will actually be written to the physical disk at the path `/path1/path2/store/all_1_1_0/data.bin` in encrypted mode.
|
|
|
|
Required parameters:
|
|
|
|
- `type` — `encrypted`. Otherwise the encrypted disk is not created.
|
|
- `disk` — Type of disk for data storage.
|
|
- `key` — The key for encryption and decryption. Type: [Uint64](/docs/en/sql-reference/data-types/int-uint.md). You can use `key_hex` parameter to encode the key in hexadecimal form.
|
|
You can specify multiple keys using the `id` attribute (see example above).
|
|
|
|
Optional parameters:
|
|
|
|
- `path` — Path to the location on the disk where the data will be saved. If not specified, the data will be saved in the root directory.
|
|
- `current_key_id` — The key used for encryption. All the specified keys can be used for decryption, and you can always switch to another key while maintaining access to previously encrypted data.
|
|
- `algorithm` — [Algorithm](/docs/en/sql-reference/statements/create/table.md/#create-query-encryption-codecs) for encryption. Possible values: `AES_128_CTR`, `AES_192_CTR` or `AES_256_CTR`. Default value: `AES_128_CTR`. The key length depends on the algorithm: `AES_128_CTR` — 16 bytes, `AES_192_CTR` — 24 bytes, `AES_256_CTR` — 32 bytes.

## Using local cache {#using-local-cache}
|
|
|
|
It is possible to configure local cache over disks in storage configuration starting from version 22.3.
|
|
For versions 22.3 - 22.7 cache is supported only for `s3` disk type. For versions >= 22.8 cache is supported for any disk type: S3, Azure, Local, Encrypted, etc.
|
|
For versions >= 23.5 cache is supported only for remote disk types: S3, Azure, HDFS.
|
|
Cache uses `LRU` cache policy.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Example of configuration for versions later or equal to 22.8:
|
|
|
|
``` xml
|
|
<clickhouse>
|
|
<storage_configuration>
|
|
<disks>
|
|
<s3>
|
|
<type>s3</type>

|
|
<type>cache</type>
|
|
<disk>s3</disk>
|
|
<path>/s3_cache/</path>
|
|
<max_size>10Gi</max_size>
|
|

```
|
|
|
|
Example of configuration for versions earlier than 22.8:
|
|
|
|
``` xml
|
|
<clickhouse>
|
|
<storage_configuration>
|
|
<disks>

|
|
|
File Cache **disk configuration settings**:
|
|
|
|
These settings should be defined in the disk configuration section.
|
|
|
|
- `path` - path to the directory with cache. Default: None, this setting is obligatory.
|
|
|
|
- `max_size` - maximum size of the cache in bytes or in readable format, e.g. `ki, Mi, Gi, etc`, example `10Gi` (such format works starting from `22.10` version). When the limit is reached, cache files are evicted according to the cache eviction policy. Default: None, this setting is obligatory.
|
|
|
|
- `cache_on_write_operations` - allow to turn on `write-through` cache (caching data on any write operations: `INSERT` queries, background merges). Default: `false`. The `write-through` cache can be disabled per query using setting `enable_filesystem_cache_on_write_operations` (data is cached only if both cache config settings and corresponding query setting are enabled).
|
|
|
|
- `enable_filesystem_query_cache_limit` - allow to limit the size of cache which is downloaded within each query (depends on user setting `max_query_cache_size`). Default: `false`.
|
|
|
|
- `enable_cache_hits_threshold` - number which defines how many times some data needs to be read before it will be cached. Default: `false`. This threshold can be defined by `cache_hits_threshold`. Default: `0`, e.g. the data is cached at the first attempt to read it.
|
|
|
|
- `enable_bypass_cache_with_threshold` - allows to skip cache completely in case the requested read range exceeds the threshold. Default: `false`. This threshold can be defined by `bypass_cache_threashold`. Default: `268435456` (`256Mi`).
|
|
|
|
- `max_file_segment_size` - a maximum size of a single cache file in bytes or in readable format (`ki, Mi, Gi, etc`, example `10Gi`). Default: `8388608` (`8Mi`).
|
|
|
|
- `max_elements` - a limit for a number of cache files. Default: `10000000`.
|
|
|
|
- `load_metadata_threads` - number of threads being used to load cache metadata on starting time. Default: `1`.
|
|
|
|
File Cache **query/profile settings**:
|
|
|
|
Some of these settings will disable cache features per query/profile that are enabled by default or in disk configuration settings. For example, you can enable cache in disk configuration and disable it per query/profile setting `enable_filesystem_cache` to `false`. Also setting `cache_on_write_operations` to `true` in disk configuration means that "write-though" cache is enabled. But if you need to disable this general setting per specific queries then setting `enable_filesystem_cache_on_write_operations` to `false` means that write operations cache will be disabled for a specific query/profile.
|
|
|
|
- `enable_filesystem_cache` - allows to disable cache per query even if storage policy was configured with `cache` disk type. Default: `true`.
|
|
|
|
- `read_from_filesystem_cache_if_exists_otherwise_bypass_cache` - allows to use cache in query only if it already exists, otherwise query data will not be written to local cache storage. Default: `false`.
|
|
|
|
- `enable_filesystem_cache_on_write_operations` - turn on `write-through` cache. This setting works only if setting `cache_on_write_operations` in cache configuration is turned on. Default: `false`.
|
|
|
|
- `enable_filesystem_cache_log` - turn on logging to `system.filesystem_cache_log` table. Gives a detailed view of cache usage per query. It can be turn on for specific queries or enabled in a profile. Default: `false`.
|
|
|
|
- `max_query_cache_size` - a limit for the cache size, which can be written to local cache storage. Requires enabled `enable_filesystem_query_cache_limit` in cache configuration. Default: `false`.
|
|
|
|
- `skip_download_if_exceeds_query_cache` - allows to change the behaviour of setting `max_query_cache_size`. Default: `true`. If this setting is turned on and cache download limit during query was reached, no more cache will be downloaded to cache storage. If this setting is turned off and cache download limit during query was reached, cache will still be written by cost of evicting previously downloaded (within current query) data, e.g. second behaviour allows to preserve `last recently used` behaviour while keeping query cache limit.
|
|
|
|
**Warning**
|
|
Cache configuration settings and cache query settings correspond to the latest ClickHouse version, for earlier versions something might not be supported.
|
|
|
|
Cache **system tables**:
|
|
|
|
- `system.filesystem_cache` - system tables which shows current state of cache.
|
|
|
|
- `system.filesystem_cache_log` - system table which shows detailed cache usage per query. Requires `enable_filesystem_cache_log` setting to be `true`.
|
|
|
|
Cache **commands**:
|
|
|
|
- `SYSTEM DROP FILESYSTEM CACHE (<cache_name>) (ON CLUSTER)` -- `ON CLUSTER` is only supported when no `<cache_name>` is provided
|
|
|
|
- `SHOW FILESYSTEM CACHES` -- show list of filesystem caches which were configured on the server. (For versions <= `22.8` the command is named `SHOW CACHES`)
|
|
|
|
```sql
|
|
SHOW FILESYSTEM CACHES
|
|
```

## Storing Data on Web Server {#storing-data-on-webserver}
|
|
|
|
There is a tool `clickhouse-static-files-uploader`, which prepares a data directory for a given table (`SELECT data_paths FROM system.tables WHERE name = 'table_name'`). For each table you need, you get a directory of files. These files can be uploaded to, for example, a web server with static files. After this preparation, you can load this table into any ClickHouse server via `DiskWeb`.
|
|
|
|
This is a read-only disk. Its data is only read and never modified. A new table is loaded to this disk via `ATTACH TABLE` query (see example below). Local disk is not actually used, each `SELECT` query will result in a `http` request to fetch required data. All modification of the table data will result in an exception, i.e. the following types of queries are not allowed: [CREATE TABLE](/docs/en/sql-reference/statements/create/table.md), [ALTER TABLE](/docs/en/sql-reference/statements/alter/index.md), [RENAME TABLE](/docs/en/sql-reference/statements/rename.md/#misc_operations-rename_table), [DETACH TABLE](/docs/en/sql-reference/statements/detach.md) and [TRUNCATE TABLE](/docs/en/sql-reference/statements/truncate.md).
|
|
|
|
Web server storage is supported only for the [MergeTree](/docs/en/engines/table-engines/mergetree-family/mergetree.md) and [Log](/docs/en/engines/table-engines/log-family/log.md) engine families. To access the data stored on a `web` disk, use the [storage_policy](/docs/en/engines/table-engines/mergetree-family/mergetree.md/#terms) setting when executing the query. For example, `ATTACH TABLE table_web UUID '{}' (id Int32) ENGINE = MergeTree() ORDER BY id SETTINGS storage_policy = 'web'`.
|
|
|
|
A ready test case. You need to add this configuration to config:
|
|
|
|
``` xml
|
|
<clickhouse>
|
|
<storage_configuration>
|
|
<disks>
|
|
<web>
|
|
<type>web</type>
|
|
<endpoint>https://clickhouse-datasets.s3.yandex.net/disk-with-static-files-tests/test-hits/</endpoint>
|
|
</web>
|
|
</disks>
|
|
<policies>
|
|
<web>
|
|
<volumes>
|
|
<main>
|

|
</web>
|
|
</policies>
|
|
</storage_configuration>
|
|
</clickhouse>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
And then execute this query:
|
|
|
|
```sql
|
|
ATTACH TABLE test_hits UUID '1ae36516-d62d-4218-9ae3-6516d62da218'

Required parameters:
|
|
|
|
- `type` — `web`. Otherwise the disk is not created.
|
|
- `endpoint` — The endpoint URL in `path` format. Endpoint URL must contain a root path to store data, where they were uploaded.
|
|
|
|
Optional parameters:
|
|
|
|
- `min_bytes_for_seek` — The minimal number of bytes to use seek operation instead of sequential read. Default value: `1` Mb.
|
|
- `remote_fs_read_backoff_threashold` — The maximum wait time when trying to read data for remote disk. Default value: `10000` seconds.
|
|
- `remote_fs_read_backoff_max_tries` — The maximum number of attempts to read with backoff. Default value: `5`.
|
|
|
|
If a query fails with an exception `DB:Exception Unreachable URL`, then you can try to adjust the settings: [http_connection_timeout](/docs/en/operations/settings/settings.md/#http_connection_timeout), [http_receive_timeout](/docs/en/operations/settings/settings.md/#http_receive_timeout), [keep_alive_timeout](/docs/en/operations/server-configuration-parameters/settings.md/#keep-alive-timeout).
|
|
|
|
To get files for upload run:
|
|
`clickhouse static-files-disk-uploader --metadata-path <path> --output-dir <dir>` (`--metadata-path` can be found in query `SELECT data_paths FROM system.tables WHERE name = 'table_name'`).
|
|
|
|
When loading files by `endpoint`, they must be loaded into `<endpoint>/store/` path, but config must contain only `endpoint`.
|
|
|
|
If URL is not reachable on disk load when the server is starting up tables, then all errors are caught. If in this case there were errors, tables can be reloaded (become visible) via `DETACH TABLE table_name` -> `ATTACH TABLE table_name`. If metadata was successfully loaded at server startup, then tables are available straight away.
|
|
|
|
Use [http_max_single_read_retries](/docs/en/operations/settings/settings.md/#http-max-single-read-retries) setting to limit the maximum number of retries during a single HTTP read.

## Zero-copy Replication (not ready for production) {#zero-copy}
|
|
|
|
Zero-copy replication is possible, but not recommended, with `S3` and `HDFS` disks. Zero-copy replication means that if the data is stored remotely on several machines and needs to be synchronized, then only the metadata is replicated (paths to the data parts), but not the data itself.
|
|
|
|
:::note Zero-copy replication is not ready for production
|
|
Zero-copy replication is disabled by default in ClickHouse version 22.8 and higher. This feature is not recommended for production use.
