What’s new in 2019
… Alexey Milovidov will disclose latest coolest features in 15 minutes

More user friendly than ever!
• GDPR compliance – thanks to UPDATE/DELETE
• Easier BI integration – thanks to SQL compatibility changes and
improvements in ODBC driver
• Easier cluster operation – thanks to clickhouse-copier, distributed DDL and
upcoming Altinity ClickHouse operator for Kubernetes
• Easier integration with other systems. Thanks to:
• HTTP/TCP protocols
• Table functions to access external data
• Kafka storage engine
• Logs integration with Logstash, ClickTail and other tools
• Integration wth MySQL, PostgreSQL

Integrates with MySQL
• mysql() table function
• MySQL table engine
• MySQL external dictionaries
• ProxySQL
• Binary log replication with clickhouse-mysql

mysql() table function
select * from mysql('host:port', database, 'table', 'user', 'password');
https://www.altinity.com/blog/2018/2/12/aggregate-mysql-data-at-high-speed-with-clickhouse
• Easiest and fastest way to get data from MySQL
• Load to CH table and run queries much faster

MySQL table engine
CREATE TABLE …
Engine = MySQL('host:port', 'database', 'table', 'user',
'password'[, replace_query, 'on_duplicate_clause']);
• SELECTs and INSERTs!
• No caching, data is queried from th remote server
https://clickhouse.yandex/docs/en/operations/table_engines/mysql/

MySQL external dictionaries
• Makes data from mysql database accessible in ClickHouse queries
• Stores in memory
• Updates when the source data changes
SELECT dictGet(‘dim_geo’, ‘country_name’, geo_key)
country_name,sum(imps)
FROM T
GROUP BY country_name;

Binary log replication from MySQL

See details at:
https://www.altinity.com/blog/2018/6/30/realtime-mysql-clickhouse-replication-in-practice

Integrates with PostgreSQL
• odbc() table function
• ODBC engine
• ODBC dictionaries
• PostgreSQL foreign data wrapper – clickhouse_fwd by Percona
• pg2ch -- binary log replication, Murat Kibilov will present later today
