System Models

Clickhouse docs.

System models are read only models for implementing part of the system's functionality, and for providing access to information about how the system is working.

Currently the following system models are supported:

Class DB Table Comments
SystemPart system.parts Gives methods to work with partitions. See below.

Partitions and Parts

ClickHouse docs.

A partition in a table is data for a single calendar month. Table "system.parts" contains information about each part.

Method Parameters Comments
get(static) database, conditions="" Gets database partitions, filtered by conditions
get_active(static) database, conditions="" Gets only active (not detached or dropped) partitions, filtered by conditions
detach settings=None Detaches the partition. Settings is a dict of params to pass to http request
drop settings=None Drops the partition. Settings is a dict of params to pass to http request
attach settings=None Attaches already detached partition. Settings is a dict of params to pass to http request
freeze settings=None Freezes (makes backup) of the partition. Settings is a dict of params to pass to http request
fetch settings=None Fetches partition. Settings is a dict of params to pass to http request

Usage example:

from infi.clickhouse_orm import Database, SystemPart
db = Database('my_test_db', db_url='http://192.168.1.1:8050', username='scott', password='tiger')
partitions = SystemPart.get_active(db, conditions='')  # Getting all active partitions of the database
if len(partitions) > 0:
    partitions = sorted(partitions, key=lambda obj: obj.name)  # Partition name is YYYYMM, so we can sort so
    partitions[0].freeze()  # Make a backup in /opt/clickhouse/shadow directory
    partitions[0].drop()  # Dropped partition

Note: system.parts stores information for all databases. To be correct, SystemPart model was designed to receive only parts belonging to the given database instance.
