Brown University Benchmark	A new analytical benchmark for machine-generated log data

Brown University Benchmark

MgBench is a new analytical benchmark for machine-generated log data, Andrew Crotty.

Download the data:

wget https://datasets.clickhouse.com/mgbench{1..3}.csv.xz

Unpack the data:

xz -v -d mgbench{1..3}.csv.xz

Create the database and tables:

CREATE DATABASE mgbench;

USE mgbench;

Insert data:

clickhouse-client --query "INSERT INTO mgbench.logs1 FORMAT CSVWithNames" < mgbench1.csv
clickhouse-client --query "INSERT INTO mgbench.logs2 FORMAT CSVWithNames" < mgbench2.csv
clickhouse-client --query "INSERT INTO mgbench.logs3 FORMAT CSVWithNames" < mgbench3.csv
