Terraform Provider: Clickhouse (Terraform Plugin SDK)

This template repository is built on the Terraform Plugin SDK. The template repository built on the Terraform Plugin Framework can be found at terraform-provider-scaffolding-framework. See Which SDK Should I Use? in the Terraform documentation for additional information.

---

This is a terraform provider plugin for managing Clickhouse databases and tables in a simple way.

Note: This provider it's in a very early state so only few table engines are allowed for replicated tables so far.

Requirements

• Terraform >= 0.13.x
• Go >= 1.19

Building The Provider

1. Clone the repository
2. Enter the repository directory
3. Build the provider using the Go install command:

$ go install

Adding Dependencies

This provider uses Go modules. Please see the Go documentation for the most up to date information about using Go modules.

To add a new dependency github.com/author/dependency to your Terraform provider:

go get github.com/author/dependency
go mod tidy

Then commit the changes to go.mod and go.sum.

Using the provider

Definining provider. The port should be the Clickhouse native protocol port (9000 by default, and 9440 for Clickhouse Cloud)

provider "clickhouse" {
  port           = 9000           # Clickhouse native protocol port
  host           = "127.0.0.1"
  username       = "default"
  password       = ""
}

In order to definte url, username and password in a safety way it is possible to define them using env vars:

TF_CLICKHOUSE_USERNAME=default
TF_CLICKHOUSE_PASSWORD=""
TF_CLICKHOUSE_HOST="127.0.0.1"
TF_CLICKHOUSE_PORT=9000

resource "clickhouse_db" "test_db_clusterd" {
  name = "database_test_clustered"
  comment = "This is a test database"
}

Clustered server

Configuring provider

provider "clickhouse" {
  port           = 9000
  host           = "127.0.0.1"
  username       = "default"
  password       = ""
  default_cluster ="cluster"
}

Creating a Database

resource "clickhouse_db" "test_db_clusterd" {
  name = "database_test_clustered"
  comment = "This is a test database"
  cluster = "cluster"
}

Clustered server using Altinity Clickhouse Operator

I is possible to use macros defined for cluster, databases, installation names in Altinity operator when creating resources.

provider "clickhouse" {
  port           = 9000
  host           = "127.0.0.1"
  username       = "default"
  password       = ""
  default_cluster ="'{cluster}'"
}

resource "clickhouse_db" "test_db_cluster" {
  name = "database_test_clustered"
  comment = "This is a test database"
  cluster = "'{cluster}'"
}

Creating tables

resource "clickhouse_table" "replicated_table" {
  database      = clickhouse_db.test_db_clustered.name
  name    = "replicated_table"
  cluster       = clickhouse_db.test_db_clustered.cluster
  engine        = "ReplicatedMergeTree"
  engine_params = ["'/clickhouse/{installation}/clickhouse_db.test_db_clustered.cluster/tables/{shard}/{database}/{table}'", "'{replica}'"]
  order_by      = ["event_date", "event_type"]
  columns {
    name = "event_date"
    type = "Date"
  }
  columns {
    name = "event_type"
    type = "Int32"
  }
  columns {
    name = "article_id"
    type = "Int32"
  }
  columns {
    name = "title"
    type = "String"
  }
  partition_by {
    by = "event_type"
  }
  partition_by {
    by                 = "event_date"
    partition_function = "toYYYYMM"
  }
}


resource "clickhouse_table" "distributed_table" {
  database      = clickhouse_db.test_db_clustered.name
  name    = "distributed_table"
  cluster       = clickhouse_db.test_db_clustered.cluster
  engine        = "Distributed"
  engine_params = [clickhouse_db.test_db_clustered.cluster, clickhouse_db.test_db_clustered.name, clickhouse_table.replicated_table.name, "rand()"]
}

Creating roles

resource "clickhouse_role" "my_database_rw" {
  name       = "my_database_rw"
  database   = clickhouse_db.test_db_cluster.name
  privileges = ["SELECT", "INSERT"]
}

Creating users

resource "clickhouse_user" "my_database_rw_user" {
  name     = "my_database_rw_user"
  password = "awesome_user_password"
  roles    = [clickhouse_role.my_database_rw.name]
}

Developing the Provider

If you wish to work on the provider, you'll first need Go installed on your machine (see Requirements above).

To compile the provider, run go install. This will build the provider and put the provider binary in the $GOPATH/bin directory.

To generate or update documentation, run go generate.

In order to run the full suite of Acceptance tests, run make testacc.

Note: Acceptance tests create real resources, and often cost money to run.

$ make testacc
