ClickHouse
Is this library suitable to generate Native files?
Wondering if this library can be used to convert flat files (e.g. CSV) to Clickhouse Native format (without connecting to server)?
As of now, we have clickhouse-cli-client, which is simply a wrapper of the native command-line clickhouse-client. It supports docker in the case when ClickHouse client is not installed locally. However, it does not support clickhouse-local at this point.
Actually I added LOCAL and FILE two protocols and planned to enhance clickhouse-cli-client accordingly. Would be great if some of you want to contribute :)
OK. What I mean is something like pure library for writing native files, without any CH binary dependency. Something like parquet-mr for Parquet format. The idea is to use it with ETL tools (specifically NiFi). Those typically can generate CSV/JSON/Parquet or Avro, but looks like native format is noticably better for ingestion.
