What is ClickHouse?

ClickHouse is an open-source column-oriented DBMS (or database management system) primarily used for OLAP (or the Online Analytical Processing of queries). It is capable of blazing fast generation of real-time analytical data and reporting utilizing SQL queries. It is fault tolerant, scalable, highly reliable and contains a feature rich tool set.

In a regular database, data is stored in tables, columns, and rows. In a table, the related values are physically stored side by side in one row, which is critical to how it operates. This is how most string type databases work.
