Default value: true.

See in-depth description in ClickHouse documentation.

allowIntrospectionFunctions

boolean

Enables introspections functions for query profiling.

More info see in ClickHouse documentation.

connectTimeout

string (int64)

Connection timeout in milliseconds.

Value must be greater than 0 (default: 10000, 10 seconds).

connectTimeoutWithFailover

string (int64)

The timeout in milliseconds for connecting to a remote server for a Distributed table engine. Applies only if the cluster uses sharding and replication. If unsuccessful, several attempts are made to connect to various replicas.

Default value: 50.

More info see in ClickHouse documentation.

receiveTimeout

string (int64)

Receive timeout in milliseconds.

Value must be greater than 0 (default: 300000, 300 seconds or 5 minutes).

Default value: 10.

insertQuorum

string (int64)

Enables or disables write quorum for ClickHouse cluster.
If the value is less than 2, then write quorum is disabled, otherwise it is enabled.

When used, write quorum guarantees that ClickHouse has written data to the quorum of insert_quorum replicas with no errors until the insertQuorumTimeout expires.
All replicas in the quorum are in the consistent state, meaning that they contain linearized data from the previous INSERT queries.
Employ write quorum, if you need the guarantees that the written data would not be lost in case of one or more replicas failure.

You can use selectSequentialConsistency setting to read the data written with write quorum.

See in-depth description in ClickHouse documentation.

insertQuorumTimeout

string (int64)

Quorum write timeout in milliseconds.

If the write quorum is enabled in the cluster, this timeout expires and some data is not written to the insertQuorum replicas, then ClickHouse will abort the execution of INSERT query and return an error.
In this case, the client must send the query again to write the data block into the same or another replica.

Minimum value: 1000, 1 second (default: 60000, 1 minute).

insertQuorumParallel

boolean

See in-depth description in ClickHouse documentation.

insertNullAsDefault

boolean

Enables the insertion of default values instead of NULL into columns with not nullable data type.

Default value: true.

More info see in ClickHouse documentation.

selectSequentialConsistency

boolean

Determines the behavior of SELECT queries from the replicated table: if enabled, ClickHouse will terminate a query with error message in case the replica does not have a chunk written with the quorum and will not read the parts that have not yet been written with the quorum.

Default value: false (sequential consistency is disabled).

deduplicateBlocksInDependentMaterializedViews

boolean

See in-depth description in ClickHouse documentation.

replicationAlterPartitionsSync

string (int64)

Wait mode for asynchronous actions in ALTER queries on replicated tables:

See in-depth description in ClickHouse documentation.

fallbackToStaleReplicasForDistributedQueries

boolean

Enables or disables query forcing to a stale replica in case the actual data is unavailable.
If enabled, ClickHouse will choose the most up-to-date replica and force the query to use the data in this replica.
This setting can be used when doing SELECT query from a distributed table that points to replicated tables.

Default value: true (query forcing is enabled).

See in-depth description in ClickHouse documentation.

distributedProductMode

enum (DistributedProductMode)

Determine the behavior of distributed subqueries.

See in-depth description in ClickHouse documentation.

• DISTRIBUTED_PRODUCT_MODE_LOCAL: Replaces the database and table in the subquery with local ones for the destination server (shard), leaving the normal IN/JOIN.
• DISTRIBUTED_PRODUCT_MODE_GLOBAL: Replaces the IN/JOIN query with GLOBAL IN/GLOBAL JOIN.
• DISTRIBUTED_PRODUCT_MODE_ALLOW: Allows the use of these types of subqueries.

distributedAggregationMemoryEfficient

boolean

Enables of disables memory saving mode when doing distributed aggregation.

When ClickHouse works with a distributed query, external aggregation is done on remote servers.
Enable this setting to achieve a smaller memory footprint on the server that sourced such a distributed query.

Default value: false (memory saving mode is disabled).

See in-depth description in ClickHouse documentation.

distributedDdlTaskTimeout

string (int64)

Timeout for DDL queries, in milliseconds.

skipUnavailableShards

boolean

Enables or disables silent skipping of unavailable shards.

A shard is considered unavailable if all its replicas are also unavailable.

Default value: false (silent skipping is disabled).

See in-depth description in ClickHouse documentation.

compileExpressions

boolean

Enables or disables expression compilation.
If you execute a lot of queries that contain identical expressions, then enable this setting.
As a result, such queries may be executed faster due to use of compiled expressions.

Use this setting in combination with minCountToCompileExpression setting.

Default value: false (expression compilation is disabled).

minCountToCompileExpression

string (int64)

How many identical expressions ClickHouse has to encounter before they are compiled.

Minimum value: 0 (default: 3).

For the 0 value compilation is synchronous: a query waits for expression compilation process to complete prior to continuing execution.
It is recommended to set this value only for testing purposes.

For all other values, compilation is asynchronous: the compilation process executes in a separate thread.
When a compiled expression is ready, it will be used by ClickHouse for eligible queries, including the ones that are currently running.

maxBlockSize

string (int64)

The maximum block size for reading.

Data in ClickHouse is organized and processed by blocks (block is a set of columns' parts).
The internal processing cycles for a single block are efficient enough, but there are noticeable expenditures on each block.

This setting is a recommendation for size of block (in a count of rows) that should be loaded from tables.

Value must be greater than 0 (default: 65536).

See in-depth description in ClickHouse documentation.

Minimal value: 0, block squashing is disabled (default: 1048576).

minInsertBlockSizeBytes

string (int64)

Limits the minimum number of bytes in a block to be inserted in a table by INSERT query.
Blocks that are smaller than the specified value, will be squashed together into the bigger blocks.

Minimal value: 0, block squashing is disabled (default: 268435456, 256 MB).

maxInsertBlockSize

string (int64)

Allows to form blocks of the specified size (in bytes) when inserting data in a table.
This setting has effect only if server is creating such blocks by itself.

Value must be greater than 0 (default: 1048576).

See in-depth description in ClickHouse documentation.

minBytesToUseDirectIo

string (int64)

Limits the minimum number of bytes to enable unbuffered direct reads from disk (Direct I/O).

By default, ClickHouse does not read data directly from disk, but relies on the filesystem and its cache instead.
Such reading strategy is effective when the data volume is small.
If the amount of the data to read is huge, it is more effective to read directly from the disk, bypassing the filesystem cache.

If the total amount of the data to read is greater than the value of this setting, then ClickHouse will fetch this data directly from the disk.

Minimal value and default value: 0, Direct I/O is disabled.

useUncompressedCache

boolean

Determines whether to use the cache of uncompressed blocks, or not.
Using this cache can significantly reduce latency and increase the throughput when a huge amount of small queries is to be processed.
Enable this setting for the users who instantiates small queries frequently.

This setting has effect only for tables of the MergeTree family.

Default value: false (uncompressed cache is disabled).

See in-depth description in ClickHouse documentation.

mergeTreeMaxRowsToUseCache

string (int64)

Limits the maximum size in rows of the request that can use the cache of uncompressed data. The cache is not used for requests larger
than the specified value.

Use this setting in combination with useUncompressedCache setting.

Value must be greater than 0 (default: 128x8192).

mergeTreeMaxBytesToUseCache

string (int64)

Limits the maximum size in bytes of the request that can use the cache of uncompressed data. The cache is not used for requests larger
than the specified value.

Use this setting in combination with useUncompressedCache setting.

Value must be greater than 0 (default: 192x10x1024x1024).

mergeTreeMinRowsForConcurrentRead

string (int64)

Limits the minimum number of rows to be read from a file to enable concurrent read.
If the number of rows to be read exceeds this value, then ClickHouse will try to use a few threads to read from a file concurrently.

This setting has effect only for tables of the MergeTree family.

Value must be greater than 0 (default: 20x8192).

mergeTreeMinBytesForConcurrentRead

string (int64)

Limits the number of bytes to be read from a file to enable concurrent read.
If the number of bytes to be read exceeds this value, then ClickHouse will try to use a few threads to read from a file concurrently.

This setting has effect only for tables of the MergeTree family.

Value must be greater than 0 (default: 24x10x1024x1024).

maxBytesBeforeExternalGroupBy

string (int64)

Sets the threshold of RAM consumption (in bytes) after that the temporary data, collected during the GROUP BY operation, should be flushed to disk to limit the RAM comsumption.

By default, aggregation is done by employing hash table that resides in RAM.
A query can result in aggregation of huge data volumes that can lead to memory exhaustion and abortion of the query (see the maxMemoryUsage setting).
For such queries, you can use this setting to force ClickHouse to do flushing and complete aggregation successfully.

Minimal value and default value: 0, GROUP BY in the external memory is disabled.

When using aggregation in external memory, it is recommended to set the value of this setting twice as low as the maxMemoryUsage setting value (by default, the maximum memory usage is limited to ten gigabytes).

See in-depth description in ClickHouse documentation.

See also: the distributedAggregationMemoryEfficient setting.

maxBytesBeforeExternalSort

string (int64)

This setting is equivalent of the maxBytesBeforeExternalGroupBy setting, except for it is for sort operation (ORDER BY), not aggregation.

groupByTwoLevelThreshold

string (int64)

Sets the threshold of the number of keys, after that the two-level aggregation should be used.

Minimal value: 0, threshold is not set (default: 10000).

groupByTwoLevelThresholdBytes

string (int64)

Sets the threshold of the number of bytes, after that the two-level aggregation should be used.

Minimal value: 0, threshold is not set (default: 100000000).

priority

string (int64)

Sets the priority of a query.

• 0-priority is not used.
• 1-the highest priority.
• and so on. The higher the number, the lower a query's priority.

This setting should be set up for each query individually.

If ClickHouse is working with the high-priority queries, and a low-priority query enters, then the low-priority query is paused until higher-priority queries are completed.

Minimal value and default value: 0, priority is not used.

• COUNT_DISTINCT_IMPLEMENTATION_UNIQ_EXACT

inputFormatValuesInterpretExpressions

boolean

Enables or disables SQL parser if the fast stream parser cannot parse the data.

Enable this setting, if the data that you want to insert into a table contains SQL expressions.

For example, the stream parser is unable to parse a value that contains now() expression; therefore an INSERT query for this value will fail and no data will be inserted into a table.
With enabled SQL parser, this expression is parsed correctly: the now() expression will be parsed as SQL function, interpreted, and the current date and time will be inserted into the table as a result.

This setting has effect only if you use Values format when inserting data.

Default value: true (SQL parser is enabled).

See in-depth description in ClickHouse documentation.

inputFormatDefaultsForOmittedFields

Enables quoting of 64-bit integers in JSON output format.

If this setting is enabled, then 64-bit integers (UInt64 and Int64) will be quoted when written to JSON output in order to maintain compatibility with the most of the JavaScript engines.
Otherwise, such integers will not be quoted.

Default value: false (quoting 64-bit integers is disabled).

outputFormatJsonQuoteDenormals

boolean

Enables special floating-point values (+nan, -nan, +inf and -inf) in JSON output format.

Default value: false (special values do not present in output).

lowCardinalityAllowInNativeFormat

boolean

Determines whether to use LowCardinality type in Native format.

• true (default)-yes, use.
• false-convert LowCardinality columns to regular columns when doing SELECT, and convert regular columns to LowCardinality when doing INSERT.

LowCardinality columns (aka sparse columns) store data in more effective way, compared to regular columns, by using hash tables.
If data to insert suits this storage format, ClickHouse will place them into LowCardinality column.

If you use a third-party ClickHouse client that can't work with LowCardinality columns, then this client will not be able to correctly interpret the result of the query that asks for data stored in LowCardinality column.
Disable this setting to convert LowCardinality column to regular column when creating the result, so such clients will be able to process the result.

Official ClickHouse client works with LowCardinality columns out-of-the-box.

Default value: true (LowCardinality columns are used in Native format).

allowSuspiciousLowCardinalityTypes

boolean

Allows specifying LowCardinality modifier for types of small fixed size (8 or less) in CREATE TABLE statements. Enabling this may increase merge times and memory consumption.

More info see in ClickHouse documentation.

If the value is less than 2, then write quorum is disabled, otherwise it is enabled.

When used, write quorum guarantees that ClickHouse has written data to the quorum of insert_quorum replicas with no errors until the insertQuorumTimeout expires.
All replicas in the quorum are in the consistent state, meaning that they contain linearized data from the previous INSERT queries.
Employ write quorum, if you need the guarantees that the written data would not be lost in case of one or more replicas failure.

You can use selectSequentialConsistency setting to read the data written with write quorum.

See in-depth description in ClickHouse documentation.

Default value: false (silent skipping is disabled).

See in-depth description in ClickHouse documentation.

compileExpressions

boolean

Enables or disables expression compilation.
If you execute a lot of queries that contain identical expressions, then enable this setting.
As a result, such queries may be executed faster due to use of compiled expressions.

Use this setting in combination with minCountToCompileExpression setting.

Default value: false (expression compilation is disabled).

minCountToCompileExpression

string (int64)

How many identical expressions ClickHouse has to encounter before they are compiled.

Minimum value: 0 (default: 3).

For the 0 value compilation is synchronous: a query waits for expression compilation process to complete prior to continuing execution.
It is recommended to set this value only for testing purposes.

Data in ClickHouse is organized and processed by blocks (block is a set of columns' parts).
The internal processing cycles for a single block are efficient enough, but there are noticeable expenditures on each block.

This setting is a recommendation for size of block (in a count of rows) that should be loaded from tables.

Value must be greater than 0 (default: 65536).

See in-depth description in ClickHouse documentation.

minInsertBlockSizeBytes

string (int64)

Limits the minimum number of bytes in a block to be inserted in a table by INSERT query.
Blocks that are smaller than the specified value, will be squashed together into the bigger blocks.

Minimal value: 0, block squashing is disabled (default: 268435456, 256 MB).

maxInsertBlockSize

string (int64)

Allows to form blocks of the specified size (in bytes) when inserting data in a table.
This setting has effect only if server is creating such blocks by itself.

Value must be greater than 0 (default: 1048576).

See in-depth description in ClickHouse documentation.

minBytesToUseDirectIo

string (int64)

Limits the minimum number of bytes to enable unbuffered direct reads from disk (Direct I/O).

By default, ClickHouse does not read data directly from disk, but relies on the filesystem and its cache instead.
Such reading strategy is effective when the data volume is small.
If the amount of the data to read is huge, it is more effective to read directly from the disk, bypassing the filesystem cache.

If the total amount of the data to read is greater than the value of this setting, then ClickHouse will fetch this data directly from the disk.

Minimal value and default value: 0, Direct I/O is disabled.

useUncompressedCache

boolean

Determines whether to use the cache of uncompressed blocks, or not.
Using this cache can significantly reduce latency and increase the throughput when a huge amount of small queries is to be processed.

mergeTreeMaxBytesToUseCache

string (int64)

Limits the maximum size in bytes of the request that can use the cache of uncompressed data. The cache is not used for requests larger
than the specified value.

Use this setting in combination with useUncompressedCache setting.

mergeTreeMinRowsForConcurrentRead

string (int64)

Limits the minimum number of rows to be read from a file to enable concurrent read.
If the number of rows to be read exceeds this value, then ClickHouse will try to use a few threads to read from a file concurrently.

This setting has effect only for tables of the MergeTree family.

Value must be greater than 0 (default: 20x8192).

mergeTreeMinBytesForConcurrentRead

string (int64)

Limits the number of bytes to be read from a file to enable concurrent read.
If the number of bytes to be read exceeds this value, then ClickHouse will try to use a few threads to read from a file concurrently.

This setting has effect only for tables of the MergeTree family.

Value must be greater than 0 (default: 24x10x1024x1024).

maxBytesBeforeExternalGroupBy

string (int64)

Sets the threshold of RAM consumption (in bytes) after that the temporary data, collected during the GROUP BY operation, should be flushed to disk to limit the RAM comsumption.

By default, aggregation is done by employing hash table that resides in RAM.
A query can result in aggregation of huge data volumes that can lead to memory exhaustion and abortion of the query (see the maxMemoryUsage setting).
For such queries, you can use this setting to force ClickHouse to do flushing and complete aggregation successfully.

Minimal value and default value: 0, GROUP BY in the external memory is disabled.

When using aggregation in external memory, it is recommended to set the value of this setting twice as low as the maxMemoryUsage setting value (by default, the maximum memory usage is limited to ten gigabytes).

See in-depth description in ClickHouse documentation.

See also: the distributedAggregationMemoryEfficient setting.

This setting is equivalent of the maxBytesBeforeExternalGroupBy setting, except for it is for sort operation (ORDER BY), not aggregation.

groupByTwoLevelThreshold

string (int64)

Sets the threshold of the number of keys, after that the two-level aggregation should be used.

Minimal value: 0, threshold is not set (default: 10000).

groupByTwoLevelThresholdBytes

string (int64)

Sets the threshold of the number of bytes, after that the two-level aggregation should be used.

Minimal value: 0, threshold is not set (default: 100000000).

priority

string (int64)

Sets the priority of a query.

• 0-priority is not used.
• 1-the highest priority.
• and so on. The higher the number, the lower a query's priority.

This setting should be set up for each query individually.

If ClickHouse is working with the high-priority queries, and a low-priority query enters, then the low-priority query is paused until higher-priority queries are completed.

Minimal value and default value: 0, priority is not used.

Minimal value: 0, no limitation is set.
Value that is set in the ClickHouse default config file: 10737418240 (10 GB).

If you use maxBytesBeforeExternalGroupBy or maxBytesBeforeExternalSort setting, then it is recommended to set their values twice as low as maxMemoryUsage setting value.

See in-depth description in ClickHouse documentation.

maxMemoryUsageForUser

string (int64)

Limits the maximum memory usage (in bytes) for processing of user's queries on a single server.

inputFormatValuesInterpretExpressions

boolean

Enables or disables SQL parser if the fast stream parser cannot parse the data.

Enable this setting, if the data that you want to insert into a table contains SQL expressions.

For example, the stream parser is unable to parse a value that contains now() expression; therefore an INSERT query for this value will fail and no data will be inserted into a table.
With enabled SQL parser, this expression is parsed correctly: the now() expression will be parsed as SQL function, interpreted, and the current date and time will be inserted into the table as a result.

This setting has effect only if you use Values format when inserting data.

Default value: true (SQL parser is enabled).

See in-depth description in ClickHouse documentation.

lowCardinalityAllowInNativeFormat

boolean

Determines whether to use LowCardinality type in Native format.

• true (default)-yes, use.

LowCardinality columns (aka sparse columns) store data in more effective way, compared to regular columns, by using hash tables.
If data to insert suits this storage format, ClickHouse will place them into LowCardinality column.

If you use a third-party ClickHouse client that can't work with LowCardinality columns, then this client will not be able to correctly interpret the result of the query that asks for data stored in LowCardinality column.
Disable this setting to convert LowCardinality column to regular column when creating the result, so such clients will be able to process the result.

Official ClickHouse client works with LowCardinality columns out-of-the-box.

Default value: true (LowCardinality columns are used in Native format).
