3. Memory Settings

We will need to limit the clickhouse service If the client server has a memory less than 32GB.

clickhouse memory settings

In /etc/clickhouse-server/config.xml set max_server_memory_usage_to_ram_ratio to 0.125 so that 32G*0.125 will be 4G

Update /etc/clickhouse-server/users.xml and set max_memory_usage to 4000000000, max_bytes_before_external_group_by to 2000000000. You may need to create max_bytes_before_external_group_by if it isn't present.

Restart the Clickhouse service: sudo /etc/init.d/clickhouse-server restart

Sqlservice memory settings

With this config, the Simple mode will use 22G memory and the Rugular mode will be in 18G memory.

# Update sqlservice.sh, set the heapsize as 18G
elif (( $memory < 32*1024*1024 ));
  then
    heapsize="18g"

4. Set Clickhouse default password

Set Clickhouse password to sqlflow@gudu

If mistakenly set to another password, you will need:

  1. delete /etc/clickhouse-server/users.d/default-password.xml
  2. update /etc/clickhouse-server/users.xml, set password to sqlflow@gudu
  3. restart Clickhouse, sudo /etc/init.d/clickhouse-server restart
