-State & -Merge combinators

The ClickHouse® -State combinator doesn’t actually store information about -If combinator, so aggregate functions with -If and without have the same serialized data.

$ clickhouse-local --query "SELECT maxIfState(number,number % 2) as x, maxState(number) as y FROM numbers(10) FORMAT RowBinary" | clickhouse-local --input-format RowBinary --structure="x AggregateFunction(max,UInt64), y AggregateFunction(max,UInt64)" --query "SELECT maxMerge(x), maxMerge(y) FROM table"

$ clickhouse-local --query "SELECT maxIfState(number,number % 2) as x, maxState(number) as y FROM numbers(11) FORMAT RowBinary" | clickhouse-local --input-format RowBinary --structure="x AggregateFunction(max,UInt64), y AggregateFunction(max,UInt64)" --query "SELECT maxMerge(x), maxMerge(y) FROM table"

-State combinator have the same serialized data footprint regardless of parameters used in definition of aggregate function. That’s true for quantile* and sequenceMatch/sequenceCount functions.

$ clickhouse-local --query "SELECT quantilesTDigestIfState(0.1,0.9)(number,number % 2) FROM  numbers(1000000) FORMAT RowBinary" | clickhouse-local --input-format RowBinary --structure="x AggregateFunction(quantileTDigestWeighted(0.5),UInt64,UInt8)" --query "SELECT quantileTDigestWeightedMerge(0.4)(x) FROM table"
