Anonymized Web Analytics Data

This dataset consists of two tables containing anonymized web analytics data with hits (hits_v1) and visits (visits_v1).

The tables can be downloaded as compressed tsv.xz files. In addition to the sample worked with in this document, an extended (7.5GB) version of the hits table containing 100 million rows is available as TSV at https://datasets.clickhouse.com/hits/tsv/hits_100m_obfuscated_v1.tsv.xz.

Download and ingest the data​

Download the hits compressed TSV file:​

curl https://datasets.clickhouse.com/hits/tsv/hits_v1.tsv.xz | unxz --threads=`nproc` > hits_v1.tsv
# Validate the checksum
md5sum hits_v1.tsv
# Checksum should be equal to: f3631b6295bf06989c1437491f7592cb

Next Steps​

A Practical Introduction to Sparse Primary Indexes in ClickHouse uses the hits dataset to discuss the differences in ClickHouse indexing compared to traditional relational databases, how ClickHouse builds and uses a sparse primary index, and indexing best practices.

Additional examples of queries to these tables can be found among the ClickHouse stateful tests.

Note

The test suite uses a database name test, and the tables are named hits and visits. You can rename your database and tables, or edit the SQL from the test file.
