[pre-production] ClickHouse Keeper

ClickHouse server uses ZooKeeper coordination system for data replication and distributed DDL queries execution. ClickHouse Keeper is an alternative coordination system compatible with ZooKeeper.

!!! warning "Warning" This feature is currently in the pre-production stage. We test it in our CI and on small internal installations.

Implementation details

ZooKeeper is one of the first well-known open-source coordination systems. It's implemented in Java, has quite a simple and powerful data model. ZooKeeper's coordination algorithm called ZAB (ZooKeeper Atomic Broadcast) doesn't provide linearizability guarantees for reads, because each ZooKeeper node serves reads locally. Unlike ZooKeeper ClickHouse Keeper is written in C++ and uses RAFT algorithm implementation. This algorithm allows to have linearizability for reads and writes, has several open-source implementations in different languages.

By default, ClickHouse Keeper provides the same guarantees as ZooKeeper (linearizable writes, non-linearizable reads). It has a compatible client-server protocol, so any standard ZooKeeper client can be used to interact with ClickHouse Keeper. Snapshots and logs have an incompatible format with ZooKeeper, but clickhouse-keeper-converter tool allows to convert ZooKeeper data to ClickHouse Keeper snapshot. Interserver protocol in ClickHouse Keeper is also incompatible with ZooKeeper so mixed ZooKeeper / ClickHouse Keeper cluster is impossible.

ClickHouse Keeper supports Access Control List (ACL) the same way as ZooKeeper does. ClickHouse Keeper supports the same set of permissions and has the identical built-in schemes: world, auth, digest, host and ip. Digest authentication scheme uses pair username:password. Password is encoded in Base64.

!!! info "Note" External integrations are not supported.

Configuration

ClickHouse Keeper can be used as a standalone replacement for ZooKeeper or as an internal part of the ClickHouse server, but in both cases configuration is almost the same .xml file. The main ClickHouse Keeper configuration tag is <keeper_server>. Keeper configuration has the following parameters:

tcp_port — Port for a client to connect (default for ZooKeeper is 2181).
tcp_port_secure — Secure port for an SSL connection between client and keeper-server.
server_id — Unique server id, each participant of the ClickHouse Keeper cluster must have a unique number (1, 2, 3, and so on).
log_storage_path — Path to coordination logs, better to store logs on the non-busy device (same for ZooKeeper).
snapshot_storage_path — Path to coordination snapshots.

Other common parameters are inherited from the ClickHouse server config (listen_host, logger, and so on).

Internal coordination settings are located in <keeper_server>.<coordination_settings> section:

operation_timeout_ms — Timeout for a single client operation (ms) (default: 10000).
min_session_timeout_ms — Min timeout for client session (ms) (default: 10000).
session_timeout_ms — Max timeout for client session (ms) (default: 100000).
dead_session_check_period_ms — How often ClickHouse Keeper check dead sessions and remove them (ms) (default: 500).
heart_beat_interval_ms — How often a ClickHouse Keeper leader will send heartbeats to followers (ms) (default: 500).
election_timeout_lower_bound_ms — If the follower didn't receive heartbeats from the leader in this interval, then it can initiate leader election (default: 1000).
election_timeout_upper_bound_ms — If the follower didn't receive heartbeats from the leader in this interval, then it must initiate leader election (default: 2000).
rotate_log_storage_interval — How many log records to store in a single file (default: 100000).
reserved_log_items — How many coordination log records to store before compaction (default: 100000).
snapshot_distance — How often ClickHouse Keeper will create new snapshots (in the number of records in logs) (default: 100000).
snapshots_to_keep — How many snapshots to keep (default: 3).
stale_log_gap — Threshold when leader considers follower as stale and sends the snapshot to it instead of logs (default: 10000).
fresh_log_gap — When node became fresh (default: 200).
max_requests_batch_size - Max size of batch in requests count before it will be sent to RAFT (default: 100).
force_sync — Call fsync on each write to coordination log (default: true).
quorum_reads — Execute read requests as writes through whole RAFT consensus with similar speed (default: false).
raft_logs_level — Text logging level about coordination (trace, debug, and so on) (default: system default).
auto_forwarding — Allow to forward write requests from followers to the leader (default: true).
shutdown_timeout — Wait to finish internal connections and shutdown (ms) (default: 5000).
startup_timeout — If the server doesn't connect to other quorum participants in the specified timeout it will terminate (ms) (default: 30000).
four_letter_word_white_list — White list of 4lw commands (default: "conf,cons,crst,envi,ruok,srst,srvr,stat,wchc,wchs,dirs,mntr,isro").

Quorum configuration is located in <keeper_server>.<raft_configuration> section and contain servers description.

The only parameter for the whole quorum is secure, which enables encrypted connection for communication between quorum participants. The parameter can be set true if SSL connection is required for internal communication between nodes, or left unspecified otherwise.

The main parameters for each <server> are:

id — Server identifier in a quorum.
hostname — Hostname where this server is placed.
port — Port where this server listens for connections.

Examples of configuration for quorum with three nodes can be found in integration tests with test_keeper_ prefix. Example configuration for server #1:

<keeper_server>
    <tcp_port>2181</tcp_port>
    <server_id>1</server_id>
    <log_storage_path>/var/lib/clickhouse/coordination/log</log_storage_path>
    <snapshot_storage_path>/var/lib/clickhouse/coordination/snapshots</snapshot_storage_path>

    <coordination_settings>
        <operation_timeout_ms>10000</operation_timeout_ms>
        <session_timeout_ms>30000</session_timeout_ms>
        <raft_logs_level>trace</raft_logs_level>
    </coordination_settings>

    <raft_configuration>
        <server>
            <id>1</id>
            <hostname>zoo1</hostname>
            <port>9444</port>
        </server>
        <server>
            <id>2</id>
            <hostname>zoo2</hostname>
            <port>9444</port>
        </server>
        <server>
            <id>3</id>
            <hostname>zoo3</hostname>
            <port>9444</port>
        </server>
    </raft_configuration>
</keeper_server>

How to run

ClickHouse Keeper is bundled into the ClickHouse server package, just add configuration of <keeper_server> and start ClickHouse server as always. If you want to run standalone ClickHouse Keeper you can start it in a similar way with:

clickhouse-keeper --config /etc/your_path_to_config/config.xml --daemon

Four Letter Word Commands

ClickHouse Keeper also provides 4lw commands which are almost the same with Zookeeper. Each command is composed of four letters such as mntr, stat etc. There are some more interesting commands: stat gives some general information about the server and connected clients, while srvr and cons give extended details on server and connections respectively.

The 4lw commands has a white list configuration four_letter_word_white_list which has default value "conf,cons,crst,envi,ruok,srst,srvr,stat,wchc,wchs,dirs,mntr,isro".

You can issue the commands to ClickHouse Keeper via telnet or nc, at the client port.

echo mntr | nc localhost 9181

Bellow is the detailed 4lw commands:

ruok: Tests if server is running in a non-error state. The server will respond with imok if it is running. Otherwise it will not respond at all. A response of "imok" does not necessarily indicate that the server has joined the quorum, just that the server process is active and bound to the specified client port. Use "stat" for details on state wrt quorum and client connection information.

imok

mntr: Outputs a list of variables that could be used for monitoring the health of the cluster.

[experimental] Migration from ZooKeeper

Seamlessly migration from ZooKeeper to ClickHouse Keeper is impossible you have to stop your ZooKeeper cluster, convert data and start ClickHouse Keeper. clickhouse-keeper-converter tool allows converting ZooKeeper logs and snapshots to ClickHouse Keeper snapshot. It works only with ZooKeeper > 3.4. Steps for migration:

Stop all ZooKeeper nodes.
Optional, but recommended: find ZooKeeper leader node, start and stop it again. It will force ZooKeeper to create a consistent snapshot.
Run clickhouse-keeper-converter on a leader, for example:

clickhouse-keeper-converter --zookeeper-logs-dir /var/lib/zookeeper/version-2 --zookeeper-snapshots-dir /var/lib/zookeeper/version-2 --output-dir /path/to/clickhouse/keeper/snapshots

Copy snapshot to ClickHouse server nodes with a configured keeper or start ClickHouse Keeper instead of ZooKeeper. The snapshot must persist on all nodes, otherwise, empty nodes can be faster and one of them can become a leader.
