ClickHouse

Golang SQL database driver for Yandex ClickHouse

Key features

• Uses native ClickHouse tcp client-server protocol
• Compatibility with database/sql
• Round Robin load-balancing
• Bulk write support : begin->prepare->(in loop exec)->commit
• LZ4 compression support (default to use pure go lz4, switch to use cgo lz4 by turn clz4 build tags on)

DSN

• username/password - auth credentials
• database - select the current default database
• read_timeout/write_timeout - timeout in second
• no_delay - disable/enable the Nagle Algorithm for tcp socket (default is 'true' - disable)
• alt_hosts - comma separated list of single address host for load-balancing
• connection_open_strategy - random/in_order (default random).
  • random - choose random server from set
  • in_order - first live server is choosen in specified order
• block_size - maximum rows in block (default is 1000000). If the rows are larger then the data will be split into several blocks to send them to the server
• pool size - maximum amount of preallocated byte chunks used in queries (default is 100). Decrease this if you experience memory problems at the expense of more GC pressure and vice versa.
• debug - enable debug output (boolean value)

SSL/TLS parameters:

• secure - establish secure connection (default is false)
• skip_verify - skip certificate verification (default is true)

example:

tcp://host1:9000?username=user&password=qwerty&database=clicks&read_timeout=10&write_timeout=20&alt_hosts=host2:9000,host3:9000

Supported data types

• UInt8, UInt16, UInt32, UInt64, Int8, Int16, Int32, Int64
• Float32, Float64
• String
• FixedString(N)
• Date
• DateTime
• Enum
• UUID
• Nullable(T)
• Array(T) (one-dimensional) godoc

TODO

• Support other compression methods(zstd ...)

Use sqlx

package main

import (
	"log"
	"time"

	"github.com/jmoiron/sqlx"
	_ "github.com/kshvakov/clickhouse"
)

func main() {
	connect, err := sqlx.Open("clickhouse", "tcp://127.0.0.1:9000?debug=true")
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
	var items []struct {
		CountryCode string    `db:"country_code"`
		OsID        uint8     `db:"os_id"`
		BrowserID   uint8     `db:"browser_id"`
		Categories  []int16   `db:"categories"`
		ActionTime  time.Time `db:"action_time"`
	}

	if err := connect.Select(&items, "SELECT country_code, os_id, browser_id, categories, action_time FROM example"); err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}

	for _, item := range items {
		log.Printf("country: %s, os: %d, browser: %d, categories: %v, action_time: %s", item.CountryCode, item.OsID, item.BrowserID, item.Categories, item.ActionTime)
	}
