ClickHouse 语法优化规则
ClickHouse 的 SQL 优化规则是基于RBO(Rule Based Optimization),下面是一些优化规则
1 准备测试用表
1)上传官方的数据集
将visits_v1.tar和hits_v1.tar上传到虚拟机,解压到clickhouse数据路径下
// 解压到clickhouse数据路径
sudo tar -xvf hits_v1.tar -C /var/lib/clickhouse
sudo tar -xvf visits_v1.tar -C /var/lib/clickhouse
//修改所属用户
sudo chown -R clickhouse:clickhouse /var/lib/clickhouse/data/datasets
sudo chown -R clickhouse:clickhouse /var/lib/clickhouse/metadata/datasets
2)重启clickhouse-server
sudo clickhouse restart
3)执行查询
clickhouse-client --query "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM datasets.hits_v1"
clickhouse-client --query "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM datasets.visits_v1"
注意:官方的tar包,包含了建库、建表语句、数据内容,这种方式不需要手动建库、建表,最方便。
hits_v1表有130多个字段,880多万条数据
visits_v1表有180多个字段,160多万条数据
2 COUNT 优化
在调用 count 函数时,如果使用的是 count() 或者 count(*),且没有 where 条件,则会直接使用 system.tables 的 total_rows,例如:
EXPLAIN SELECT count()FROM datasets.hits_v1;
Union
Expression (Projection)
Expression (Before ORDER BY and SELECT)
MergingAggregated
ReadNothing (Optimized trivial count)
注意 Optimized trivial count ,这是对 count 的优化。
如果 count 具体的列字段,则不会使用此项优化:
EXPLAIN SELECT count(CounterID) FROM datasets.hits_v1;
Union
Expression (Projection)
Expression (Before ORDER BY and SELECT)
Aggregating
Expression (Before GROUP BY)
ReadFromStorage (Read from MergeTree)
3 消除子查询重复字段
下面语句子查询中有两个重复的 id 字段,会被去重:
EXPLAIN SYNTAX SELECT
a.UserID,
b.VisitID,
a.URL,
b.UserID
FROM
hits_v1 AS a
LEFT JOIN (
SELECT
UserID,
UserID as HaHa,
VisitID
FROM visits_v1) AS b
USING (UserID)
limit 3;
//返回优化语句:
SELECT
UserID,
VisitID,
URL,
b.UserID
FROM hits_v1 AS a
ALL LEFT JOIN
(
SELECT
UserID,
VisitID
FROM visits_v1
) AS b USING (UserID)
LIMIT 3
4 谓词下推
当group by有having子句,但是没有with cube、with rollup 或者with totals修饰的时候,having过滤会下推到where提前过滤。例如下面的查询,HAVING name变成了WHERE name,在group by之前过滤:
EXPLAIN SYNTAX SELECT UserID FROM hits_v1 GROUP BY UserID HAVING UserID = '8585742290196126178';
//返回优化语句
SELECT UserID
FROM hits_v1
WHERE UserID = \'8585742290196126178\'
GROUP BY UserID
子查询也支持谓词下推:
EXPLAIN SYNTAX
SELECT *
FROM
(
SELECT UserID
FROM visits_v1
)
WHERE UserID = '8585742290196126178'
//返回优化后的语句
SELECT UserID
FROM
(
SELECT UserID
FROM visits_v1
WHERE UserID = \'8585742290196126178\'
)
WHERE UserID = \'8585742290196126178\'
再来一个复杂例子:
//返回优化后的语句
SELECT UserID
FROM
(
SELECT UserID
FROM
(
SELECT UserID
FROM visits_v1
WHERE UserID = \'8585742290196126178\'
)
WHERE UserID = \'8585742290196126178\'
UNION ALL
SELECT UserID
FROM
(
SELECT UserID
FROM visits_v1
WHERE UserID = \'8585742290196126178\'
)
WHERE UserID = \'8585742290196126178\'
)
WHERE UserID = \'8585742290196126178\'
5 聚合计算外推
聚合函数内的计算,会外推,例如:
EXPLAIN SYNTAX
SELECT sum(UserID * 2)
FROM visits_v1
//返回优化后的语句
SELECT sum(UserID) * 2
FROM visits_v1
6 聚合函数消除
如果对聚合键,也就是 group by key 使用 min、max、any 聚合函数,则将函数消除,例如:
EXPLAIN SYNTAX
SELECT
sum(UserID * 2),
max(VisitID),
max(UserID)
FROM visits_v1
GROUP BY UserID
//返回优化后的语句
SELECT
sum(UserID) * 2,
max(VisitID),
UserID
FROM visits_v1
GROUP BY UserID
7 删除重复的 order by key
例如下面的语句,重复的聚合键 id 字段会被去重:
EXPLAIN SYNTAX
SELECT *
FROM visits_v1
ORDER BY
UserID ASC,
UserID ASC,
VisitID ASC,
VisitID ASC
//返回优化后的语句:
select
……
FROM visits_v1
ORDER BY
UserID ASC,
VisitID ASC
8 删除重复的 limit by key
例如下面的语句,重复声明的 name 字段会被去重:
EXPLAIN SYNTAX
SELECT *
FROM visits_v1
LIMIT 3 BY
VisitID,
VisitID
LIMIT 10
//返回优化后的语句:
select
……
FROM visits_v1
LIMIT 3 BY VisitID
LIMIT 10
9 删除重复的 USING Key
例如下面的语句,重复的关联键 id 字段会被去重:
EXPLAIN SYNTAX
SELECT
a.UserID,
a.UserID,
b.VisitID,
a.URL,
b.UserID
FROM hits_v1 AS a
LEFT JOIN visits_v1 AS b USING (UserID, UserID)
//返回优化后的语句:
SELECT
UserID,
UserID,
VisitID,
URL,
b.UserID
FROM hits_v1 AS a
ALL LEFT JOIN visits_v1 AS b USING (UserID)
10 标量替换
如果子查询只返回一行数据,在被引用的时候用标量替换,例如下面语句中的 total_disk_usage 字段:
EXPLAIN SYNTAX
WITH
(
SELECT sum(bytes)
FROM system.parts
WHERE active
) AS total_disk_usage
SELECT
(sum(bytes) / total_disk_usage) * 100 AS table_disk_usage,
table
FROM system.parts
GROUP BY table
ORDER BY table_disk_usage DESC
LIMIT 10;
//返回优化后的语句:
WITH CAST(0, \'UInt64\') AS total_disk_usage
SELECT
(sum(bytes) / total_disk_usage) * 100 AS table_disk_usage,
table
FROM system.parts
GROUP BY table
ORDER BY table_disk_usage DESC
LIMIT 10
11 三元运算优化
如果开启了 optimize_if_chain_to_multiif 参数,三元运算符会被替换成 multiIf 函数,例如:
EXPLAIN SYNTAX
SELECT number = 1 ? 'hello' : (number = 2 ? 'world' : 'atguigu')
FROM numbers(10)
settings optimize_if_chain_to_multiif = 1;
// 返回优化后的语句:
SELECT multiIf(number = 1, \'hello\', number = 2, \'world\', \'atguigu\')
FROM numbers(10)
SETTINGS optimize_if_chain_to_multiif = 1
