Compiling dbgen: https://github.com/vadimtk/ssb-dbgen

git clone git@github.com:vadimtk/ssb-dbgen.git
cd ssb-dbgen
make

There will be some warnings during the process, but this is normal.

Place dbgen and dists.dss in any location with 800 GB of free disk space.

Generating data:

Creating tables in ClickHouse:

CREATE TABLE lineorder (

CREATE TABLE lineorderd AS lineorder ENGINE = Distributed(perftest_3shards_1replicas, default, lineorder, rand());
CREATE TABLE customerd AS customer ENGINE = Distributed(perftest_3shards_1replicas, default, customer, rand());
CREATE TABLE partd AS part ENGINE = Distributed(perftest_3shards_1replicas, default, part, rand());

For testing on a single server, just use MergeTree tables. For distributed testing, you need to configure the perftest_3shards_1replicas cluster in the config file. Next, create MergeTree tables on each server and a Distributed above them.

Downloading data (change 'customer' to 'customerd' in the distributed version):

cat customer.tbl | sed 's/$/2000-01-01/' | clickhouse-client --query "INSERT INTO customer FORMAT CSV"
cat lineorder.tbl | clickhouse-client --query "INSERT INTO lineorder FORMAT CSV"
