Clickhouse::Activerecord

A Ruby database ActiveRecord driver for ClickHouse. Support Rails >= 7.1. Support ClickHouse version from 22.0 LTS.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'clickhouse-activerecord'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install clickhouse-activerecord

Available database connection parameters

default: &default
  adapter: clickhouse
  database: database
  host: localhost
  port: 8123
  username: username
  password: password
  ssl: true # optional for using ssl connection
  debug: true # use for showing in to log technical information
  migrations_paths: db/clickhouse # optional, default: db/migrate_clickhouse
  cluster_name: 'cluster_name' # optional for creating tables in cluster 
  replica_name: '{replica}' # replica macros name, optional for creating replicated tables

Alternatively if you wish to pass a custom Net::HTTP transport (or any other object which supports a .post() function with the same parameters as Net::HTTP's), you can do this directly instead of specifying host/port/ssl:

class ActionView < ActiveRecord::Base
  establish_connection(
    adapter: 'clickhouse',
    database: 'database',
    connection: Net::HTTP.start('http://example.org', 8123)
  )
end

Usage in Rails

Add your database.yml connection information with postfix _clickhouse for you environment:

development:
  adapter: clickhouse
  database: database

Your model example:

class Action < ActiveRecord::Base
end

For materialized view model add:

class ActionView < ActiveRecord::Base
  self.is_view = true
end

Usage in Rails with second database

Add your database.yml connection information for you environment:

development:
  primary:
    ...

  clickhouse:
    adapter: clickhouse
    database: database

Connection Multiple Databases with Active Record or short example:

class Action < ActiveRecord::Base
  establish_connection :clickhouse
end

Rake tasks

Create / drop / purge / reset database:

$ rake db:create
$ rake db:drop
$ rake db:purge
$ rake db:reset

Or with multiple databases:

$ rake db:create:clickhouse
$ rake db:drop:clickhouse
$ rake db:purge:clickhouse
$ rake db:reset:clickhouse

Migration:

$ rails g clickhouse_migration MIGRATION_NAME COLUMNS
$ rake db:migrate
$ rake db:rollback

Dump / Load for multiple using databases

If you using multiple databases, for example: PostgreSQL, Clickhouse.

Schema dump to db/clickhouse_schema.rb file:

$ rake db:schema:dump:clickhouse

Schema load from db/clickhouse_schema.rb file:

$ rake db:schema:load:clickhouse

For export schema to PostgreSQL, you need use:

$ rake clickhouse:schema:dump -- --simple

Schema will be dump to db/clickhouse_schema_simple.rb. If default file exists, it will be auto update after migration.

Structure dump to db/clickhouse_structure.sql file:

$ rake clickhouse:structure:dump

Structure load from db/clickhouse_structure.sql file:

$ rake clickhouse:structure:load

Dump / Load for only Clickhouse database using

$ rake db:schema:dump  
$ rake db:schema:load  
$ rake db:structure:dump  
$ rake db:structure:load

RSpec

For auto truncate tables before each test add to spec/rails_helper.rb file:

require 'clickhouse-activerecord/rspec'

Insert and select data

Action.where(url: 'http://example.com', date: Date.current).where.not(name: nil).order(created_at: :desc).limit(10)
# Clickhouse Action Load (10.3ms)  SELECT actions.* FROM actions WHERE actions.date = '2017-11-29' AND actions.url = 'http://example.com' AND (actions.name IS NOT NULL)  ORDER BY actions.created_at DESC LIMIT 10
#=> #<ActiveRecord::Relation [#<Action *** >]>

Action.create(url: 'http://example.com', date: Date.yesterday)
# Clickhouse Action Load (10.8ms)  INSERT INTO actions (url, date) VALUES ('http://example.com', '2017-11-28')
#=> true

ActionView.maximum(:date)
# Clickhouse (10.3ms)  SELECT maxMerge(actions.date) FROM actions
#=> 'Wed, 29 Nov 2017'

Action.where(date: Date.current).final.limit(10)
# Clickhouse Action Load (10.3ms)  SELECT actions.* FROM actions FINAL WHERE actions.date = '2017-11-29' LIMIT 10
#=> #<ActiveRecord::Relation [#<Action *** >]>

Action.settings(optimize_read_in_order: 1).where(date: Date.current).limit(10)
# Clickhouse Action Load (10.3ms)  SELECT actions.* FROM actions FINAL WHERE actions.date = '2017-11-29' LIMIT 10 SETTINGS optimize_read_in_order = 1
#=> #<ActiveRecord::Relation [#<Action *** >]>

User.joins(:actions).using(:group_id)
# Clickhouse User Load (10.3ms)  SELECT users.* FROM users INNER JOIN actions USING group_id
#=> #<ActiveRecord::Relation [#<Action *** >]>

Migration Data Types

Integer types are unsigned by default. Specify signed values with :unsigned => false. The default integer is UInt32

Type (bit size)	Range	:limit (byte size)
Int8	-128 to 127	1
Int16	-32768 to 32767	2
Int32	-2147483648 to 2,147,483,647	3,4
Int64	-9223372036854775808 to 9223372036854775807]	5,6,7,8
Int128	...	9 - 15
Int256	...	16+
UInt8	0 to 255	1
UInt16	0 to 65,535	2
UInt32	0 to 4,294,967,295	3,4
UInt64	0 to 18446744073709551615	5,6,7,8
UInt256	0 to ...	8+
Array	...	...
Map	...	...

Example:

class CreateDataItems < ActiveRecord::Migration[7.1]
  def change
    create_table "data_items", id: false, options: "VersionedCollapsingMergeTree(sign, version) PARTITION BY toYYYYMM(day) ORDER BY category", force: :cascade do |t|
      t.date "day", null: false
      t.string "category", null: false
      t.integer "value_in", null: false
      t.integer "sign", limit: 1, unsigned: false, default: -> { "CAST(1, 'Int8')" }, null: false
      t.integer "version", limit: 8, default: -> { "CAST(toUnixTimestamp(now()), 'UInt64')" }, null: false
    end

    create_table "with_index", id: false, options: 'MergeTree PARTITION BY toYYYYMM(date) ORDER BY (date)' do |t|
      t.integer :int1, null: false
      t.integer :int2, null: false
      t.date :date, null: false

      t.index '(int1 * int2, date)', name: 'idx', type: 'minmax', granularity: 3
    end

    remove_index :some, 'idx'

    add_index :some, 'int1 * int2', name: 'idx2', type: 'set(10)', granularity: 4
  end
end

Create table with custom column structure and codec compression:

class CreateDataItems < ActiveRecord::Migration[7.1]
  def change
    create_table "data_items", id: false, options: "MergeTree PARTITION BY toYYYYMM(timestamp) ORDER BY timestamp", force: :cascade do |t|
      t.integer :user_id, limit: 8, codec: 'DoubleDelta, LZ4'
      t.column "timestamp", "DateTime('UTC') CODEC(DoubleDelta, LZ4)"
    end
  end
end

Create Buffer table with connection database name:

class CreateDataItems < ActiveRecord::Migration[7.1]
  def change
    create_table :some_buffers, as: :some, options: "Buffer(#{connection.database}, some, 1, 10, 60, 100, 10000, 10000000, 100000000)"
  end
end

Using replica and cluster params in connection parameters

default: &default
  ***
  cluster_name: 'cluster_name'
  replica_name: '{replica}'

ON CLUSTER cluster_name will be attach to all queries create / drop.

Engines MergeTree and all support replication engines will be replaced to Replicated***('/clickhouse/tables/cluster_name/database.table', '{replica}')
