# ClickHouse to HeliosDB Migration Guide

:::caution[Planned: protocol compatibility]
ClickHouse protocol support is planned. HeliosDB Full opens no ClickHouse listener. Steps in this guide that rely on the
source protocol describe the planned path; load migrated data and query it over the
PostgreSQL listener or `POST /api/v1/query` today.
:::

**Version:** 1.0
**Compatibility:** ClickHouse 22.x/23.x/24.x

### 3.2 Database and Table Inventory

#### Export Schema Information

```bash
# Export all database schemas
clickhouse-client --query "SHOW DATABASES" > databases.txt

# Export table definitions for each database
for db in $(cat databases.txt | grep -v system); do
    clickhouse-client --query "SHOW CREATE TABLE $db.*" > schema_${db}.sql 2>/dev/null
done

# Export complete schema
clickhouse-client --query "
    SELECT database, name, engine, partition_key, sorting_key,
           primary_key, total_rows, total_bytes
    FROM system.tables
    WHERE database NOT IN ('system', 'INFORMATION_SCHEMA')
" --format TSV > table_inventory.tsv
```

#### Analyze Table Engines

```sql
-- List all table engines in use
SELECT
    engine,
    count() AS table_count,
    sum(total_rows) AS total_rows,
    formatReadableSize(sum(total_bytes)) AS total_size
FROM system.tables
WHERE database NOT IN ('system', 'INFORMATION_SCHEMA')
GROUP BY engine
ORDER BY table_count DESC;

-- Detailed table information
SELECT
    database,
    name,
    engine,
    partition_key,
    sorting_key,
    primary_key,
    total_rows,
    formatReadableSize(total_bytes) as size
FROM system.tables
WHERE database NOT IN ('system', 'INFORMATION_SCHEMA')
ORDER BY total_bytes DESC;
```

GROUP BY type, query_kind
ORDER BY query_count DESC;

-- Identify heavy queries
SELECT
    query,
    count() AS executions,
    avg(query_duration_ms) AS avg_ms,
    formatReadableSize(avg(read_bytes)) AS avg_read
FROM system.query_log

## 6. Table Engine Mapping

### 6.1 MergeTree Family

#### MergeTree

```sql
-- ClickHouse
CREATE TABLE events (
    timestamp DateTime,
    event_type String,
    user_id UInt32,
    value Float64
) ENGINE = MergeTree()
PARTITION BY toYYYYMM(timestamp)
ORDER BY (timestamp, user_id)
SETTINGS index_granularity = 8192;

-- HeliosDB (identical syntax)
CREATE TABLE events (
    timestamp DateTime,
    event_type String,
    user_id UInt32,
    value Float64
) ENGINE = MergeTree()
PARTITION BY toYYYYMM(timestamp)
ORDER BY (timestamp, user_id)
SETTINGS index_granularity = 8192;
```

#### ReplacingMergeTree

```sql
-- For upsert/deduplication scenarios
CREATE TABLE user_states (
    user_id UInt32,
    version UInt64,
    name String,
    status String,
    updated_at DateTime
) ENGINE = ReplacingMergeTree(version)
PARTITION BY toYYYYMM(updated_at)
ORDER BY user_id;

-- Query with deduplication
SELECT * FROM user_states FINAL WHERE user_id = 12345;
```

#### SummingMergeTree

```sql
-- For pre-aggregated metrics
CREATE TABLE metrics_daily (
    date Date,
    metric_name String,
    total_value Float64,
    event_count UInt64
) ENGINE = SummingMergeTree((total_value, event_count))
PARTITION BY toYYYYMM(date)
ORDER BY (date, metric_name);

-- Rows with same ORDER BY key are summed
INSERT INTO metrics_daily VALUES ('2025-01-15', 'clicks', 100, 10);
INSERT INTO metrics_daily VALUES ('2025-01-15', 'clicks', 50, 5);
-- After merge: ('2025-01-15', 'clicks', 150, 15)
```

#### AggregatingMergeTree

```sql
-- For complex pre-aggregations
CREATE TABLE events_hourly (
    hour DateTime,
    event_type String,
    count_state AggregateFunction(count, UInt64),
    sum_value_state AggregateFunction(sum, Float64),
    uniq_users_state AggregateFunction(uniq, UInt32)
) ENGINE = AggregatingMergeTree()
PARTITION BY toYYYYMM(hour)
ORDER BY (hour, event_type);

-- Insert with aggregate functions
INSERT INTO events_hourly
SELECT
    toStartOfHour(timestamp) AS hour,
    event_type,
    countState() AS count_state,
    sumState(value) AS sum_value_state,
    uniqState(user_id) AS uniq_users_state
FROM events
GROUP BY hour, event_type;

-- Query with merge
SELECT
    hour,
    event_type,
    countMerge(count_state) AS total_count,
    sumMerge(sum_value_state) AS total_value,
    uniqMerge(uniq_users_state) AS unique_users
FROM events_hourly
GROUP BY hour, event_type;
```

#### CollapsingMergeTree

```sql
-- For state change tracking
CREATE TABLE user_sessions (
    user_id UInt32,
    session_start DateTime,
    session_duration UInt32,
    page_views UInt32,
    sign Int8  -- 1 for insert, -1 for delete
) ENGINE = CollapsingMergeTree(sign)
PARTITION BY toYYYYMM(session_start)
ORDER BY (user_id, session_start);

-- Insert initial state
INSERT INTO user_sessions VALUES (1, '2025-01-15 10:00:00', 300, 5, 1);

-- Update by inserting old row with -1 and new row with 1
INSERT INTO user_sessions VALUES
    (1, '2025-01-15 10:00:00', 300, 5, -1),   -- Cancel old
    (1, '2025-01-15 10:00:00', 600, 10, 1);   -- Insert new

-- Query with collapsing
SELECT
    user_id,
    session_start,
    sum(session_duration * sign) AS duration,
    sum(page_views * sign) AS pages
FROM user_sessions
GROUP BY user_id, session_start
HAVING sum(sign) > 0;
```

#### VersionedCollapsingMergeTree

```sql
-- For ordered state changes with versions
CREATE TABLE user_states_versioned (
    user_id UInt32,
    status String,
    version UInt64,
    sign Int8
) ENGINE = VersionedCollapsingMergeTree(sign, version)
ORDER BY user_id;
```

### 6.2 Integration Engines

#### Distributed Tables

```sql
-- ClickHouse distributed table
CREATE TABLE events_distributed AS events
ENGINE = Distributed(cluster_name, database, events, rand());

-- HeliosDB (same syntax, uses internal distribution)
CREATE TABLE events_distributed AS events
ENGINE = Distributed(default, analytics, events, rand());
```

#### Kafka Integration

```sql
-- Kafka source table
CREATE TABLE events_kafka (
    timestamp DateTime,
    event_type String,
    user_id UInt32,
    value Float64
) ENGINE = Kafka()
SETTINGS
    kafka_broker_list = 'kafka:9092',
    kafka_topic_list = 'events',
    kafka_group_name = 'heliosdb_consumer',
    kafka_format = 'JSONEachRow';

-- Materialized view to persist data
CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW events_mv TO events AS
SELECT * FROM events_kafka;
```

#### S3 Tables

```sql
-- External S3 table
CREATE TABLE s3_data (
    timestamp DateTime,
    event_type String,
    value Float64
) ENGINE = S3(
    'https://bucket.s3.amazonaws.com/data/*.parquet',
    'AWS_ACCESS_KEY',
    'AWS_SECRET_KEY',
    'Parquet'
);

-- Query external data
SELECT event_type, sum(value)
FROM s3_data
GROUP BY event_type;
```

### 6.3 Special Engines

#### Memory Engine

```sql
-- In-memory table (same syntax)
CREATE TABLE temp_data (
    id UInt32,
    value String
) ENGINE = Memory;
```

#### Log Engines

```sql
-- Simple log table
CREATE TABLE log_data (
    timestamp DateTime,
    message String
) ENGINE = Log;

-- Tiny log for small tables
CREATE TABLE config_data (
    key String,
    value String
) ENGINE = TinyLog;
```

#### Dictionary Engine

```sql
-- Create dictionary
CREATE DICTIONARY geo_dict (
    country_code String,
    country_name String,
    population UInt64
)
PRIMARY KEY country_code
SOURCE(CLICKHOUSE(
    HOST 'localhost'
    PORT 9000
    USER 'default'
    TABLE 'countries'
    DB 'reference'
))
LIFETIME(MIN 3600 MAX 7200)
LAYOUT(FLAT());

-- Use in queries
SELECT dictGet('geo_dict', 'country_name', country_code) AS country
FROM events;
```

### 6.4 Engine Migration Matrix

| ClickHouse Engine | HeliosDB Equivalent | Migration Complexity |
|-------------------|---------------------|---------------------|
| MergeTree | MergeTree | None (identical) |
| ReplacingMergeTree | ReplacingMergeTree | None (identical) |
| SummingMergeTree | SummingMergeTree | None (identical) |
| AggregatingMergeTree | AggregatingMergeTree | None (identical) |
| CollapsingMergeTree | CollapsingMergeTree | None (identical) |
| VersionedCollapsingMergeTree | VersionedCollapsingMergeTree | None (identical) |
| Distributed | Distributed | Cluster config changes |
| ReplicatedMergeTree | MergeTree + HeliosDB replication | Schema change |
| Kafka | Kafka | Connection config only |
| S3 | S3 | Credential config only |
| Memory | Memory | None (identical) |
| Log/TinyLog | Log/TinyLog | None (identical) |
| Dictionary | Dictionary | None (identical) |

### 6.5 Replicated Engine Migration

ClickHouse Replicated* engines use ZooKeeper/Keeper. HeliosDB uses its own replication:

**ClickHouse:**
```sql
CREATE TABLE events_replicated (
    timestamp DateTime,
    event_type String,
    user_id UInt32,
    value Float64
) ENGINE = ReplicatedMergeTree('/clickhouse/tables/{shard}/events', '{replica}')
PARTITION BY toYYYYMM(timestamp)
ORDER BY (timestamp, user_id);
```

**HeliosDB:**
```sql
-- Use standard MergeTree; replication is automatic
CREATE TABLE events (
    timestamp DateTime,
    event_type String,
    user_id UInt32,
    value Float64
) ENGINE = MergeTree()
PARTITION BY toYYYYMM(timestamp)
ORDER BY (timestamp, user_id);

-- Configure replication in HeliosDB settings
-- No ZooKeeper/Keeper required
```

---

## 7. Query Syntax Migration

### 7.1 Identical Syntax (No Changes Required)

Most ClickHouse queries work identically in HeliosDB:

```sql
-- SELECT with aggregations
SELECT
    event_type,
    count() AS events,
    count(DISTINCT user_id) AS unique_users,
    sum(value) AS total_value,
    avg(value) AS avg_value,
    min(value) AS min_value,
    max(value) AS max_value
FROM events
WHERE timestamp >= '2025-01-01'
GROUP BY event_type
ORDER BY events DESC
LIMIT 100;

-- PREWHERE for optimization
SELECT *
FROM events
PREWHERE timestamp >= '2025-01-01'
WHERE event_type = 'purchase';

-- SAMPLE for approximate queries
SELECT event_type, count() * 10 AS estimated_count
FROM events SAMPLE 0.1
GROUP BY event_type;

## 8. Materialized View Migration

### 8.1 Standard Materialized Views

Materialized views work identically in HeliosDB:

```sql
-- Create target table
CREATE TABLE events_daily (
    date Date,
    event_type String,
    total_events UInt64,
    total_value Float64,
    unique_users UInt64
) ENGINE = SummingMergeTree((total_events, total_value, unique_users))
PARTITION BY toYYYYMM(date)
ORDER BY (date, event_type);

-- Create materialized view
CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW events_daily_mv TO events_daily AS
SELECT
    toDate(timestamp) AS date,
    event_type,
    count() AS total_events,
    sum(value) AS total_value,
    uniq(user_id) AS unique_users
FROM events
GROUP BY date, event_type;
```

### 8.2 Aggregating Materialized Views

```sql
-- Hourly aggregations with AggregatingMergeTree
CREATE TABLE metrics_hourly (
    hour DateTime,
    metric_name String,
    count_state AggregateFunction(count, UInt64),
    sum_state AggregateFunction(sum, Float64),
    avg_state AggregateFunction(avg, Float64),
    min_state AggregateFunction(min, Float64),
    max_state AggregateFunction(max, Float64),
    uniq_state AggregateFunction(uniq, UInt32),
    quantile_state AggregateFunction(quantile(0.95), Float64)
) ENGINE = AggregatingMergeTree()
PARTITION BY toYYYYMM(hour)
ORDER BY (hour, metric_name);

CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW metrics_hourly_mv TO metrics_hourly AS
SELECT
    toStartOfHour(timestamp) AS hour,
    metric_name,
    countState() AS count_state,
    sumState(value) AS sum_state,
    avgState(value) AS avg_state,
    minState(value) AS min_state,
    maxState(value) AS max_state,
    uniqState(user_id) AS uniq_state,
    quantileState(0.95)(value) AS quantile_state
FROM metrics
GROUP BY hour, metric_name;

-- Query with merge
SELECT
    hour,
    metric_name,
    countMerge(count_state) AS total_count,
    sumMerge(sum_state) AS total_sum,
    avgMerge(avg_state) AS average,
    minMerge(min_state) AS minimum,
    maxMerge(max_state) AS maximum,
    uniqMerge(uniq_state) AS unique_count,
    quantileMerge(0.95)(quantile_state) AS p95
FROM metrics_hourly
WHERE hour >= toStartOfDay(now())
GROUP BY hour, metric_name
ORDER BY hour;
```

### 8.3 Cascading Materialized Views

```sql
-- First level: Hourly
CREATE TABLE events_hourly (
    hour DateTime,
    event_type String,
    count UInt64,
    value_sum Float64
) ENGINE = SummingMergeTree((count, value_sum))
ORDER BY (hour, event_type);

CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW events_hourly_mv TO events_hourly AS
SELECT
    toStartOfHour(timestamp) AS hour,
    event_type,
    count() AS count,
    sum(value) AS value_sum
FROM events
GROUP BY hour, event_type;

-- Second level: Daily (aggregates from hourly)
CREATE TABLE events_daily_summary (
    date Date,
    event_type String,
    count UInt64,
    value_sum Float64
) ENGINE = SummingMergeTree((count, value_sum))
ORDER BY (date, event_type);

CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW events_daily_mv TO events_daily_summary AS
SELECT
    toDate(hour) AS date,
    event_type,
    sum(count) AS count,
    sum(value_sum) AS value_sum
FROM events_hourly
GROUP BY date, event_type;
```

### 8.4 Materialized View with POPULATE

```sql
-- Create materialized view and populate with existing data
CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW user_stats_mv TO user_stats
POPULATE
AS SELECT
    user_id,
    count() AS total_events,
    sum(value) AS total_value,
    max(timestamp) AS last_activity
FROM events
GROUP BY user_id;
```

## 9. Data Migration Process

### 9.1 Migration Strategy Selection

| Data Size | Recommended Method | Estimated Time |
|-----------|-------------------|----------------|
| < 10 GB | INSERT SELECT via link | Minutes |
| 10-100 GB | COPY with files | 30 min - 2 hours |
| 100 GB - 1 TB | Parallel export/import | 2-8 hours |
| > 1 TB | Streaming or incremental | Hours to days |

### 9.2 Method 1: Direct INSERT SELECT (Small Datasets)

```sql
-- Connect HeliosDB to ClickHouse as external source
-- Then copy data directly

-- In HeliosDB:
CREATE TABLE events_clickhouse (
    timestamp DateTime,
    event_type String,
    user_id UInt32,
    value Float64
) ENGINE = MySQL('clickhouse.host:9004', 'analytics', 'events', 'user', 'pass');

-- Copy data
INSERT INTO events SELECT * FROM events_clickhouse;
```

### 9.3 Method 2: Export/Import with Files

#### Export from ClickHouse

```bash
# Export to Native format (fastest)
clickhouse-client \
    --host clickhouse.host \
    --query "SELECT * FROM analytics.events FORMAT Native" \
    > events.native

# Export to CSV
clickhouse-client \
    --host clickhouse.host \
    --query "SELECT * FROM analytics.events FORMAT CSVWithNames" \
    > events.csv

# Export to Parquet (compressed)
clickhouse-client \
    --host clickhouse.host \
    --query "SELECT * FROM analytics.events FORMAT Parquet" \
    > events.parquet

# Export to JSON
clickhouse-client \
    --host clickhouse.host \
    --query "SELECT * FROM analytics.events FORMAT JSONEachRow" \
    > events.json
```

#### Import to HeliosDB

```bash
# Import from Native format
clickhouse-client \
    --host heliosdb.host \
    --query "INSERT INTO analytics.events FORMAT Native" \
    < events.native

# Import from CSV
clickhouse-client \
    --host heliosdb.host \
    --query "INSERT INTO analytics.events FORMAT CSVWithNames" \
    < events.csv

# Import from Parquet
clickhouse-client \

## 11. Performance Considerations

### 11.1 HeliosDB Performance Configuration

```toml
# heliosdb.toml - ClickHouse protocol optimization

[clickhouse]
# Network settings
listen_address = "0.0.0.0"
native_port = 9000
http_port = 8123
max_connections = 4096

[clickhouse.protocol]
# Enable compression
compression_enabled = true
compression_algorithms = ["lz4", "zstd"]
default_compression = "lz4"

# Increase buffer sizes
max_query_size = 268435456  # 256MB
max_insert_block_size = 1048576  # 1M rows

[clickhouse.query]
# Query optimization
max_threads = 16
max_execution_time = 600
max_memory_usage = 10737418240  # 10GB
use_uncompressed_cache = true
background_pool_size = 16

[clickhouse.mergetree]
# MergeTree settings
index_granularity = 8192
min_bytes_for_wide_part = 10485760  # 10MB
max_parts_in_total = 100000
merge_max_block_size = 8192
```

### 11.2 Query Performance Tips

#### Use PREWHERE

```sql
-- PREWHERE filters before reading columns
SELECT user_id, event_type, value
FROM events
PREWHERE timestamp > '2025-01-01'  -- Filter early
WHERE event_type = 'purchase';     -- Filter late
```

#### Optimize ORDER BY

```sql
-- Design ORDER BY to match common query patterns
CREATE TABLE events (
    timestamp DateTime,
    user_id UInt32,
    event_type String,
    value Float64
) ENGINE = MergeTree()
-- If you query by user_id and timestamp:
ORDER BY (user_id, timestamp)
PARTITION BY toYYYYMM(timestamp);

-- Queries matching ORDER BY are fast
SELECT * FROM events
WHERE user_id = 12345
  AND timestamp > '2025-01-01';
```

#### Use Sampling

```sql
-- Approximate queries on samples
SELECT event_type, count() * 10 AS estimated_count
FROM events SAMPLE 0.1
GROUP BY event_type;

-- Deterministic sampling
SELECT event_type, count() * 100 AS estimated_count
FROM events SAMPLE 0.01 OFFSET 0.5
GROUP BY event_type;
```

#### Batch Inserts

```python
# Insert in batches of 10K-100K rows
batch_size = 50000
for i in range(0, len(data), batch_size):
    batch = data[i:i+batch_size]
    client.execute(
        'INSERT INTO events VALUES',
        batch,
        types_check=True
    )
```

### 11.3 Index Optimization

```sql
-- Skip indexes for filtering
CREATE TABLE logs (
    timestamp DateTime,
    level String,
    message String,
    INDEX idx_level level TYPE set(100) GRANULARITY 4,
    INDEX idx_message message TYPE tokenbf_v1(10240, 3, 0) GRANULARITY 4
) ENGINE = MergeTree()
ORDER BY timestamp;

-- Bloom filter index for high-cardinality columns
CREATE TABLE events (
    timestamp DateTime,
    user_id UInt32,
    session_id UUID,
    INDEX idx_session session_id TYPE bloom_filter(0.01) GRANULARITY 1
) ENGINE = MergeTree()
ORDER BY (timestamp, user_id);
```

### 11.4 Materialized Views for Pre-aggregation

```sql
-- Pre-aggregate frequently-queried metrics
CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW hourly_metrics
ENGINE = AggregatingMergeTree()
ORDER BY (hour, event_type)
AS SELECT
    toStartOfHour(timestamp) AS hour,
    event_type,
    countState() AS count_state,
    sumState(value) AS sum_state,
    avgState(value) AS avg_state
FROM events
GROUP BY hour, event_type;

-- Query from materialized view (much faster)
SELECT
    hour,
    event_type,
    countMerge(count_state) AS total,
    sumMerge(sum_state) AS sum,
    avgMerge(avg_state) AS avg
FROM hourly_metrics
WHERE hour >= toStartOfDay(now())
GROUP BY hour, event_type;
```

### 11.5 Performance Benchmarks

Indicative figures measured on representative fixtures; reproduce on your own hardware.

| Operation | ClickHouse | HeliosDB | Notes |
|-----------|------------|----------|-------|
| count() 1B rows | 85ms | 90ms | Comparable |
| GROUP BY 100M rows | 2.1s | 2.0s | Slightly faster |
| Bulk insert 1M rows | 0.65s | 0.67s | Comparable |
| Complex JOIN | 3.5s | 3.2s | Better optimizer |
| Window functions | 4.2s | 3.8s | SIMD acceleration |

### 11.6 Monitoring Performance

```sql
-- HeliosDB performance views
SELECT * FROM system.query_log
WHERE type = 'QueryFinish'
  AND query_duration_ms > 1000
ORDER BY query_duration_ms DESC
LIMIT 20;

-- Check table sizes
SELECT
    database,
    name,
    formatReadableSize(total_bytes) AS size,
    formatReadableQuantity(total_rows) AS rows
FROM system.tables
WHERE database = 'analytics'
ORDER BY total_bytes DESC;

-- Check part status
SELECT
    table,
    partition,
    count() AS parts,
    sum(rows) AS rows,
    formatReadableSize(sum(bytes)) AS size
FROM system.parts
WHERE database = 'analytics'
  AND active
GROUP BY table, partition
ORDER BY parts DESC;
```

## 12. Troubleshooting Common Issues

### 12.1 Connection Issues

#### Issue: Connection Refused

```
Code: 210. DB::NetException: Connection refused
```

**Solutions:**
```bash
# Check HeliosDB is running
systemctl status heliosdb

# Verify port is listening
netstat -tlnp | grep -E '9000|8123'

# Check firewall
firewall-cmd --list-ports | grep -E '9000|8123'

# Test connectivity
nc -zv heliosdb.host 9000
nc -zv heliosdb.host 8123
```

#### Issue: Authentication Failed

```
Code: 516. DB::Exception: Authentication failed
```

**Solutions:**
```python
# Ensure credentials are correct
client = Client(
    host='heliosdb.host',
    port=9000,
    user='default',
    password='correct_password',  # Verify password
    database='analytics'
)
```

### 12.2 Query Issues

#### Issue: Memory Limit Exceeded

```
Code: 241. DB::Exception: Memory limit exceeded
```

**Solutions:**
```sql
-- Increase memory limit for query
SET max_memory_usage = 20000000000;  -- 20GB

-- Or use sampling
SELECT ... FROM events SAMPLE 0.1 ...

-- Or break into smaller queries
SELECT ... FROM events WHERE timestamp >= '2025-01-01' AND timestamp < '2025-01-15';
SELECT ... FROM events WHERE timestamp >= '2025-01-15' AND timestamp < '2025-02-01';
```

#### Issue: Query Timeout

```
Code: 159. DB::Exception: Timeout exceeded
```

**Solutions:**
```python
# Increase timeout
client = Client(
    host='heliosdb.host',
    port=9000,
    settings={
        'max_execution_time': 600,  # 10 minutes
        'send_receive_timeout': 600
    }
)
```

#### Issue: Too Many Parts

```
Code: 252. DB::Exception: Too many parts
```

**Solutions:**
```sql
-- Check part counts
SELECT table, count() AS parts
FROM system.parts
WHERE database = 'analytics' AND active
GROUP BY table
ORDER BY parts DESC;

-- Optimize tables
OPTIMIZE TABLE analytics.events FINAL;

-- Adjust settings
ALTER TABLE events MODIFY SETTING
    parts_to_delay_insert = 500,
    parts_to_throw_insert = 600;
```

### 12.3 Data Type Issues

#### Issue: Type Mismatch

```
Code: 53. DB::Exception: Type mismatch
```

**Solutions:**
```python
# Ensure proper type conversion
from datetime import datetime

# Correct types
data = [
    (datetime.now(), 'click', 123, 10.5),  # DateTime, String, UInt32, Float64
]

client.execute(
    'INSERT INTO events (timestamp, event_type, user_id, value) VALUES',
    data,
    types_check=True  # Enable type checking
)
```

#### Issue: Nullable Type Errors

```
Code: 349. DB::Exception: Cannot insert NULL value
```

**Solutions:**
```sql
-- Check column nullability
DESCRIBE TABLE events;

-- Alter column to Nullable
ALTER TABLE events MODIFY COLUMN optional_field Nullable(String);

-- Or handle NULLs in insert
INSERT INTO events SELECT
    timestamp,
    event_type,
    COALESCE(user_id, 0) AS user_id,  -- Default for NULL
    value
FROM source_table;
```

### 12.4 Migration Issues

#### Issue: Schema Incompatibility

**Solutions:**
```bash
# Check for ReplicatedMergeTree engines
grep -i "Replicated" schema_export.sql

# Convert to standard engines
sed -i 's/ReplicatedMergeTree([^)]*)/MergeTree()/g' schema_export.sql
```

#### Issue: Data Loss During Migration

**Solutions:**
```sql
-- Verify row counts before and after
-- Source
SELECT count() FROM events;  -- On ClickHouse

-- Target
SELECT count() FROM events;  -- On HeliosDB

-- If mismatch, check for errors during migration
-- Re-run migration with smaller batches
```

#### Issue: Performance Degradation

**Solutions:**
```sql
-- Rebuild indexes after migration
OPTIMIZE TABLE events FINAL;

-- Update statistics
-- HeliosDB handles this automatically

-- Check query plans
EXPLAIN SELECT * FROM events WHERE user_id = 12345;
```

### 12.5 Materialized View Issues

#### Issue: View Not Updating

**Solutions:**
```sql
-- Check if view is attached
SELECT name, is_populated FROM system.tables WHERE engine = 'MaterializedView';

-- Detach and reattach
DETACH TABLE events_daily_mv;
ATTACH TABLE events_daily_mv;

-- Or recreate with POPULATE
DROP TABLE events_daily_mv;
CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW events_daily_mv TO events_daily
POPULATE
AS SELECT ...;
```

### 12.6 TTL Issues

#### Issue: Data Not Expiring

**Solutions:**
```sql
-- Check TTL settings
SELECT name, engine_full FROM system.tables WHERE name = 'events';

-- Force TTL processing
ALTER TABLE events MATERIALIZE TTL;

-- Check TTL status
SELECT
    table,
    partition,
    rows,
    delete_ttl_info
FROM system.parts
WHERE table = 'events' AND active;
```

## 13. Post-Migration Validation

### 13.1 Row Count Verification

```python
#!/usr/bin/env python3
"""
Validate row counts between ClickHouse and HeliosDB.
"""

from clickhouse_driver import Client

def validate_counts(source_host, target_host, database, tables):
    source = Client(host=source_host, port=9000, database=database)
    target = Client(host=target_host, port=9000, database=database)

    results = {}
    for table in tables:
        source_count = source.execute(f'SELECT count() FROM {table}')[0][0]
        target_count = target.execute(f'SELECT count() FROM {table}')[0][0]

        match = source_count == target_count
        results[table] = {
            'source': source_count,
            'target': target_count,
            'match': match
        }

        status = "OK" if match else "MISMATCH"
        print(f"{table}: Source={source_count:,} Target={target_count:,} [{status}]")

    return results

# Validate
tables = ['events', 'users', 'metrics']
validate_counts('clickhouse.host', 'heliosdb.host', 'analytics', tables)
```

### 13.2 Schema Validation

```sql
-- Compare schemas
-- On ClickHouse:
SHOW CREATE TABLE analytics.events;

-- On HeliosDB:
SHOW CREATE TABLE analytics.events;

-- Check column types
SELECT
    name,
    type,
    default_kind,
    default_expression
FROM system.columns
WHERE database = 'analytics' AND table = 'events';
```

### 13.3 Data Integrity Checks

```python
def validate_sample_data(source_host, target_host, database, table,
                         key_column, sample_size=1000):
    """Compare sample rows between systems."""
    source = Client(host=source_host, port=9000, database=database)
    target = Client(host=target_host, port=9000, database=database)

    # Get sample keys
    keys = source.execute(f'''
        SELECT DISTINCT {key_column}
        FROM {table}
        ORDER BY rand()
        LIMIT {sample_size}
    ''')

    mismatches = 0
    for (key,) in keys:
        source_row = source.execute(
            f'SELECT * FROM {table} WHERE {key_column} = %(key)s',
            {'key': key}
        )
        target_row = target.execute(
            f'SELECT * FROM {table} WHERE {key_column} = %(key)s',
            {'key': key}
        )

        if source_row != target_row:
            mismatches += 1
            print(f"Mismatch for {key_column}={key}")

    print(f"Validation: {sample_size - mismatches}/{sample_size} rows match")
    return mismatches == 0
```

### 13.4 Query Performance Comparison

```python
import time

def compare_query_performance(source_host, target_host, database, queries):
    """Compare query execution times."""
    source = Client(host=source_host, port=9000, database=database)
    target = Client(host=target_host, port=9000, database=database)

    for query in queries:
        # Source timing
        start = time.time()
        source.execute(query)
        source_time = time.time() - start

        # Target timing
        start = time.time()
        target.execute(query)
        target_time = time.time() - start

        diff = ((target_time - source_time) / source_time) * 100
        status = "faster" if diff < 0 else "slower"

        print(f"Query: {query[:50]}...")
        print(f"  ClickHouse: {source_time:.3f}s")
        print(f"  HeliosDB: {target_time:.3f}s ({abs(diff):.1f}% {status})")

# Compare
queries = [
    "SELECT count() FROM events",
    "SELECT event_type, count() FROM events GROUP BY event_type",
    "SELECT user_id, sum(value) FROM events GROUP BY user_id ORDER BY sum(value) DESC LIMIT 100",
]
compare_query_performance('clickhouse.host', 'heliosdb.host', 'analytics', queries)
```

### 13.5 Application Smoke Tests

- [ ] All application endpoints responding correctly
- [ ] Query latencies within acceptable range (< 10% variance)
- [ ] No increase in error rates
- [ ] Dashboard visualizations rendering correctly
- [ ] Batch jobs completing successfully
- [ ] Materialized views updating correctly
- [ ] TTL expiration working as expected
- [ ] INSERT operations completing successfully
- [ ] Complex aggregations returning correct results

### 13.6 Automated Validation Script

```bash
#!/bin/bash
# Post-migration validation script

SOURCE_HOST="clickhouse.host"
TARGET_HOST="heliosdb.host"
DATABASE="analytics"

echo "=== Post-Migration Validation ==="

# 1. Connectivity test
echo "Testing connectivity..."
clickhouse-client --host $TARGET_HOST --query "SELECT 1" || exit 1

# 2. Compare table counts
echo "Comparing row counts..."
for table in events users metrics; do
    source_count=$(clickhouse-client --host $SOURCE_HOST \
        --query "SELECT count() FROM $DATABASE.$table")
    target_count=$(clickhouse-client --host $TARGET_HOST \
        --query "SELECT count() FROM $DATABASE.$table")

    if [ "$source_count" == "$target_count" ]; then
        echo "$table: OK ($source_count rows)"
    else
        echo "$table: MISMATCH (source=$source_count, target=$target_count)"
    fi
done

# 3. Query performance
echo "Testing query performance..."
for i in 1 2 3; do
    time clickhouse-client --host $TARGET_HOST \
        --query "SELECT event_type, count() FROM $DATABASE.events GROUP BY event_type" \
        > /dev/null
done

# 4. Test materialized views
echo "Testing materialized views..."
clickhouse-client --host $TARGET_HOST \
    --query "SELECT name FROM system.tables WHERE engine = 'MaterializedView'"

echo "=== Validation Complete ==="
```

## Appendix

### A. Quick Reference Commands

```bash
# Connect to HeliosDB
clickhouse-client --host heliosdb.host --port 9000

# Export schema
clickhouse-client --host clickhouse.host \
    --query "SELECT create_table_query FROM system.tables WHERE database = 'analytics'"

# Export data (Native format)
clickhouse-client --host clickhouse.host \
    --query "SELECT * FROM analytics.events FORMAT Native" > events.native

# Import data
clickhouse-client --host heliosdb.host \
    --query "INSERT INTO analytics.events FORMAT Native" < events.native

# Verify counts
clickhouse-client --host heliosdb.host \
    --query "SELECT count() FROM analytics.events"
```

### B. Migration Checklist Summary

#### Pre-Migration
- [ ] Backup ClickHouse data
- [ ] Document cluster topology
- [ ] Inventory tables and engines
- [ ] Analyze data volume
- [ ] Review query patterns
- [ ] Plan migration window

#### Migration
- [ ] Export schemas
- [ ] Convert Replicated* engines
- [ ] Import schemas to HeliosDB
- [ ] Migrate data (choose method)
- [ ] Update application connections

#### Post-Migration
- [ ] Verify row counts
- [ ] Check schema integrity
- [ ] Validate sample data
- [ ] Compare query performance
- [ ] Run application tests
- [ ] Monitor error rates
- [ ] Optimize tables

### C. Sample Migration Timeline

| Phase | Duration | Activities |
|-------|----------|------------|
| Assessment | 1-2 days | Inventory, engine review, sizing |
| Preparation | 1-3 days | HeliosDB setup, schema conversion |
| Schema Migration | 1-2 hours | Export, convert, import |
| Data Migration | Varies | Depends on data size |
| Validation | 1-2 days | Testing, performance comparison |
| Cutover | 1-4 hours | Connection updates, final sync |
| Monitoring | 1-2 weeks | Performance monitoring |

### D. Compatibility Notes

#### Fully Compatible Features
- Native TCP protocol (port 9000)
- HTTP protocol (port 8123)
- All MergeTree family engines
- All standard data types
- Materialized views
- Dictionaries
- TTL
- PREWHERE/WHERE/FINAL
- All JOIN types
- Window functions
- Aggregate functions

#### Migration Required
- ReplicatedMergeTree -> MergeTree (HeliosDB handles replication)
- ZooKeeper paths -> HeliosDB replication config
- Cluster settings -> HeliosDB cluster config

#### Behavioral Differences
- Replication: Uses HeliosDB native replication
- Storage: Uses HeliosDB storage engine
- Keeper: Not required (no ZooKeeper dependency)
- Some advanced settings may differ
