Clickhouse table doesn't have same counts as Postgres table (following readme example)

PostgreSQL to ClickHouse

Continuous data transfer from PostgreSQL to ClickHouse using logical replication mechanism.

Status of the project

Currently pg2ch tool is in active testing stage, as for now it is not for production use

Getting and running

Get:

    go get -u github.com/mkabilov/pg2ch

Run:

    pg2ch --config {path to the config file (default config.yaml)}

Config file

tables:
    {postgresql table name}:
        main_table: {clickhouse table name}
        buffer_table: {clickhouse buffer table name} # optional, if not specified, insert directly to the main table
        buffer_row_id: {clickhouse buffer table column name for row id} 
        init_sync_skip: {skip initial copy of the data}

                                     # makes sense in case of huge tables        
        init_sync_skip_truncate: {skip truncate of the main_table during init sync}                                 
        engine: {clickhouse table engine: MergeTree, ReplacingMergeTree or CollapsingMergeTree}
        max_buffer_length: {number of DML(insert/update/delete) commands to store in the memory before flushing to the buffer/main table } 
        merge_threshold: {if buffer table specified, number of buffer flushed before moving data from buffer to the main table}
        columns: # postgres - clickhouse column name mapping, 
                 # if not present, all the columns are expected to be on the clickhouse side with the exact same names 
            {postgresql column name}: {clickhouse column name}
        is_deleted_column: # in case of ReplacingMergeTree 1 will be stored in the {is_deleted_column} in order to mark deleted rows
        sign_column: {clickhouse sign column name for CollapsingMergeTree engines only, default "sign"}
        ver_column: {clickhouse version column name for the ReplacingMergeTree engine, default "ver"}

inactivity_merge_timeout: {interval, default 1 min} # merge buffered data after that timeout

clickhouse: # clickhouse tcp protocol connection params
    host: {clickhouse host, default 127.0.0.1}
    port: {tcp port, default 9000}
    database: {database name}
    username: {username}
    password: {password}

        {extra param name}:{extra param value}
        ...

postgres: # postgresql connection params
    host: {host name, default 127.0.0.1}
    port: {port, default 5432}
    database: {database name}
    user: {user}
    replication_slot_name: {logical replication slot name}
    publication_name: {postgresql publication name}
    
db_path: {path to the persistent storage dir where table lsn positions will be stored}

Sample setup:

make sure you have PostgreSQL server running on localhost:5432
- set wal_level in the postgresql config file to logical
- set max_replication_slots to at least 2
make sure you have ClickHouse server running on localhost:9000 e.g. in the docker
create database pg2ch_test in PostgreSQL: CREATE DATABASE pg2ch_test;
create a set of tables using pgbench command: pgbench -U postgres -d pg2ch_test -i
change replica identity for the pgbench_accounts table to FULL, so that we'll receive old values of the updated rows: ALTER TABLE pgbench_accounts REPLICA IDENTITY FULL;
create PostgreSQL publication for the pgbench_accounts table: CREATE PUBLICATION pg2ch_pub FOR TABLE pgbench_accounts;
create PostgreSQL logical replication slot: SELECT * FROM pg_create_logical_replication_slot('pg2ch_slot', 'pgoutput');
create tables on the ClickHouse side:

CREATE TABLE pgbench_accounts (aid Int32, abalance Int32, sign Int8) ENGINE = CollapsingMergeTree(sign) ORDER BY aid
-- our target table

CREATE TABLE pgbench_accounts_buf (aid Int32, abalance Int32, sign Int8, row_id UInt64) ENGINE = Memory()
-- will be used as a buffer table

create config.yaml file with the following content:

tables:
    pgbench_accounts:
        main_table: pgbench_accounts
        buffer_table: pgbench_accounts_buf
        buffer_row_id: row_id
        engine: CollapsingMergeTree
        max_buffer_length: 1000
        merge_threshold: 4
        columns:
            aid: aid
            abalance: abalance
        sign_column: sign

inactivity_merge_timeout: '10s'

clickhouse:
    host: localhost
    port: 9000
    database: default
    username: default
postgres:
    host: localhost
    port: 5432
    database: pg2ch_test
    user: postgres
    replication_slot_name: pg2ch_slot
    publication_name: pg2ch_pub
    
db_path: db

run pg2ch to start replication:

    pg2ch --config config.yaml

run pgbench to have some test load:

    pgbench -U postgres -d pg2ch_test --time 30 --client 10

wait for inactivity_merge_timeout period (in our case 10 seconds) so that data in the memory gets flushed to the table in ClickHouse
check the sums of the abalance column both on ClickHouse and PostgreSQL:
- ClickHouse: SELECT SUM(abalance * sign), SUM(sign) FROM pgbench_accounts (why multiply by sign column?)
- PostgreSQL: SELECT SUM(abalance), COUNT(*) FROM pgbench_accounts
numbers must match; if not, please open an issue.
