Is there a convenient way in ClickHouse to check the Map contains some entries - clickhouse

I want to check if a Map contains all the entries I need.
> create table map_test (my_map Map(String, String)) engine = Memory;
> insert into map_test values ({'k1': 'v1', 'k2': 'v2'}), ({'k1': 'v1', 'k2': 'v2', 'k3': 'v3'}), ({'k1': 'v1', 'k4': 'v4'});
> select * from map_test;
┌─my_map──────────────────────────┐
│ {'k1':'v1','k2':'v2'} │
│ {'k1':'v1','k2':'v2','k3':'v3'} │
│ {'k1':'v1','k4':'v4'} │
└─────────────────────────────────┘
3 rows in set. Elapsed: 0.001 sec.
-- get the rows that "my_map" contains all entries I need.
> select * from map_test where my_map['k1'] = 'v1' and my_map['k2'] = 'v2'; -- The SQL will be very long.
┌─my_map──────────────────────────┐
│ {'k1':'v1','k2':'v2'} │
│ {'k1':'v1','k2':'v2','k3':'v3'} │
└─────────────────────────────────┘
2 rows in set. Elapsed: 0.001 sec.
If I have a lot of entries in where clause, the SQL will be very long.
Is there a way to do it like the following SQL.
select * from map_test where mapContainsAll(my_map, {'k1': 'v1', 'k2': 'v2'});
I've read documentation about Map, but can't find a function like mapContainsAll.

Clickhouse bloom filter index seems too slow

I had executed the following query but it has processed ~1B rows and took total time of 75 seconds for a simple count.
SELECT count(*)

How can I speed up this query? because processing 1B rows to give a count of 13M sounds like something is total off. Does creating a SET index on orgid any better? because I will have a max of 10K orgs
The queries I typicall run are
SELECT org_level, min(timestamp) as minTimeStamp,max(timestamp) as maxTimeStamp, toStartOfInterval(toDateTime(timestamp), INTERVAL <step> second) as roundedDownTs, count(*) as cnt, orgid
FROM events_distributed
WHERE orgid = 'foo' and timestamp BETWEEN <one week>
GROUP BY roundedDownTs, orgid, org_level
ORDER BY roundedDownTs DESC;
please note <step> here would be any of the following values 0, 60, 240, 1440, 10080
and another query for a one week time slice but it can be any time slice and always want the results in descending order because of timeseries
SELECT org_text
FROM events_distributed
WHERE (orgid = '174a4727-1116-4c5c-8234-ab76f2406c4a') AND (timestamp >= '2022-12-01 00:00:00.000000000' and timestamp <= '2022-12-07 00:00:00.000000000') order by timestamp DESC LIMIT 51;
You don't use primary index
I suggest is to use
PARTITION BY toDate(timestamp)
ORDER BY (orgId, timestamp)

And remove bloom_filter index.

Would Clickhouse merge cause increase in selected marks?

If clickhouse is performing a background merge operation (lets say 10 parts into 1 part), would that cause the selected marks to go up? Or are selected marks only governed by read operations performed due to SELECT queries
It should not in general but it may because of partition pruning.
create table test( D date, K Int64, S String )
Engine=MergeTree partition by toYYYYMM(D) order by K;
system stop merges test;
insert into test select '2022-01-01', number, '' from numbers(1000000);
insert into test select '2022-01-31', number, '' from numbers(1000000);
select name, min_date, max_date, rows from system.parts where table = 'test' and active;

In real life you will never notice this because it's very synthetic case, no filters on primary key index, and partition column is not in primary key index.
And it does not mean that merges make query slower, it means that Clickhouse is able to leverage the fact that data is not merged yet and reads only a part of the data in a partition.

How to use only the latest state of a particular record in Materialized view?

Let's say I have a table defined as
CREATE TABLE orders (
sqlId Int64, -- orders.id from PSQL
isApproved UInt8, -- Boolean
comment String,
price Decimal(10, 2),
createdAt DateTime64(9, 'UTC'),
updatedAt DateTime64(9, 'UTC') DEFAULT NOW()
)
ENGINE = MergeTree
ORDER BY (createdAt, sqlId)
so two fields that might be changed in the source PSQL database - isApproved and comment
Naturally, if I sink some records from an MQ topic into it, I will end up with something like this
SELECT *
FROM orders
Query id: 50cd95a4-e581-41b5-82a4-7ec86771e4e5
┌─sqlId─┬─isApproved─┬──price─┬─comment───┬─────────────────────createdAt─┬─────────────────────updatedAt─┐

└───────┴────────────┴────────┴───────────┴───────────────────────────────┴───────────────────────────────┘
┌─sqlId─┬─isApproved─┬──price─┬─comment─┬─────────────────────createdAt─┬─────────────────────updatedAt─┐

└───────┴────────────┴────────┴─────────┴───────────────────────────────┴───────────────────────────────┘
┌─sqlId─┬─isApproved─┬──price─┬─comment─┬─────────────────────createdAt─┬─────────────────────updatedAt─┐

└───────┴────────────┴────────┴─────────┴───────────────────────────────┴───────────────────────────────┘
In other words, a particular order was created first as a non-approved, then it was approved, then some comment was added.
Let's say I want to create a view that represents the total volume of orders per day.
A naive approach might be:
CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW orders_volume_per_day (
day DateTime64(9, 'UTC'),
volume SimpleAggregateFunction(sum, Decimal(38, 2))
)
ENGINE = AggregatingMergeTree
PARTITION BY toYYYYMM(day)
ORDER BY day
AS SELECT
toStartOfDay(createdAt) as day,
sum(price) as volume
FROM orders
GROUP BY day
ORDER BY day ASC
However, it will be using all three redundant records, while I only need to use the latest one.
In my particular example, the view will return 300 (3x100) instead of just 100.
Is there any way to achieve the desired behavior in Clickhouse? I know that I can utilize VersionedCollapsingMergeTree somehow with the sign or version columns, but it seems that tools like clickhouse_sinker or snuba will not support it.

Clickhouse - join on string columns

I got String column uin in several tables, how do I can effectively join on uin these tables?
In Vertica database we use hash(uin) to transform string column into hash with Int data type - it significantly boosts efficiency in joins - could you recommend something like this? I tried CRC32(s) but it seems to work wrong.
At this moment the CH not very good cope with multi-joins queries (DB star-schema) and the query optimizer not good enough to rely on it completely.
So it needs to explicitly say how to 'execute' a query by using subqueries instead of joins.
Let's emulate your query:
SELECT table_01.number AS r
FROM numbers(87654321) AS table_01
INNER JOIN numbers(7654321) AS table_02 ON (table_01.number = table_02.number)
INNER JOIN numbers(654321) AS table_03 ON (table_02.number = table_03.number)
INNER JOIN numbers(54321) AS table_04 ON (table_03.number = table_04.number)
ORDER BY r DESC
LIMIT 8;

8 rows in set. Elapsed: 4.244 sec. Processed 96.06 million rows, 768.52 MB (22.64 million rows/s., 181.10 MB/s.)
*/
On my PC it takes ~4 secs. Let's rewrite it using subqueries to significantly speed it up.
SELECT number AS r
FROM numbers(87654321)
WHERE number IN (
SELECT number
FROM numbers(7654321)
WHERE number IN (
SELECT number
FROM numbers(654321)
WHERE number IN (
SELECT number
FROM numbers(54321)
)
)
)
ORDER BY r DESC
LIMIT 8;

There are other ways to optimize JOIN:
use External dictionary to get rid of join on 'small'-table
use Join table engine
use ANY-strictness
use specific settings like join_algorithm, partial_merge_join_optimizations etc

Answer update:
To less storage consumption for String-column consider changing column type to LowCardinality (link 2) that significantly decrease the size of a column with many duplicated elements.
Use this query to get the size of columns:
SELECT
name AS column_name,
formatReadableSize(data_compressed_bytes) AS data_size,
formatReadableSize(marks_bytes) AS index_size,
type,
compression_codec
FROM system.columns
WHERE database = 'db_name' AND table = 'table_name'
ORDER BY data_compressed_bytes DESC
To get a numeric representation of a string need to use one of hash-functions.
SELECT 'jsfhuhsdf', xxHash32('jsfhuhsdf'), cityHash64('jsfhuhsdf');

Faster way for Changing the Array Structure in Clickhouse

I am wondering whether there is a faster way to do what I am trying to do below - basically, unnesting an array and creating a groupArray with different columsn.
-- create table
CREATE TABLE default.t15 ( product String, indx Array(UInt8), col1 String, col2 Array(UInt8)) ENGINE = Memory ;
--insert values
INSERT into t15 values ('p',[1,2,3],'a',[10,20,30]),('p',[1,2,3],'b',[40,50,60]),('p',[1,2,3],'c',[70,80,90]);
-- select values
SELECT * from t15;
┌─product─┬─indx────┬─col1─┬─col2───────┐
│ p │ [1,2,3] │ a │ [10,20,30] │
│ p │ [1,2,3] │ b │ [40,50,60] │
│ p │ [1,2,3] │ c │ [70,80,90] │
└─────────┴─────────┴──────┴────────────┘
DESIRED OUTPUT
┌─product─┬─indx_list─┬─col1_arr──────┬─col2_arr───┐
│ p │ 1 │ ['a','b','c'] │ [10,40,70] │
│ p │ 2 │ ['a','b','c'] │ [20,50,80] │
│ p │ 3 │ ['a','b','c'] │ [30,60,90] │
└─────────┴───────────┴───────────────┴────────────┘
How I am doing it -> [little slow for what I need this for]
SELECT product,
indx_list,
groupArray(col1) col1_arr,
groupArray(col2_list) col2_arr
FROM (
SELECT product,
indx_list,
col1,
col2_list
FROM t15
ARRAY JOIN
indx AS indx_list,
col2 AS col2_list
ORDER BY indx_list,
col1
)x
GROUP BY product,
indx_list;
Basically, I am unnesting the array and then grouping them back.
Is there a better and faster way to do this.
Thanks!
If you want to make it faster it look like you can avoid subselect and the global ORDER BY in it. So something like:
SELECT
product,
indx_list,
groupArray(col1) AS col1_arr,
groupArray(col2_list) AS col2_arr
FROM t15
ARRAY JOIN
indx AS indx_list,
col2 AS col2_list
GROUP BY
product,
indx_list
If you need the arrays to be sorted it's usually better to sort it inside each group separately, using arraySort.
I would make the query a little simple to reduce the count of array joins to one, that probably improves performance:
SELECT
product,
index as indx_list,
groupArray(col1) as col1_arr,
groupArray(element) as col2_arr
FROM
(
SELECT
product,
arrayJoin(indx) AS index,
col1,
col2[index] AS element
FROM default.t15
)
GROUP BY
product,
index;
Maybe make sense to change the table structure to get rid of any arrays. I would suggest the flat schema:
CREATE TABLE default.t15 (
product String,
valueId UInt8, /* indx */
col1 String, /* col1 */
value UInt8) /* col2 */
ENGINE = Memory ;
