Everything You Always Wanted To Know
About GitHub (But Were Afraid To Ask)

Abstract

We prepared a dataset from the GH Archive that contains all the events in all GitHub repositories since 2011 in structured format. The dataset was uploaded into ClickHouse, where it contains 3.1 billion records. We redistribute it for research purposes and it can be downloaded at this direct link. This dataset can help answer almost any question about GitHub that you can imagine.

This article shows the usage of the dataset and offers insights into the GitHub ecosystem. It emphasizes how easy it is to play with data using modern tools.

Table of Contents

Let's play with the data!

Counting stars

The WatchEvent is the event when someone gives a star to a repo.

:) SELECT count() FROM github_events WHERE event_type = 'WatchEvent'

┌───count()─┐
│ 232118474 │
└───────────┘

1 rows in set. Elapsed: 0.034 sec. Processed 232.13 million rows, 232.13 MB (6.85 billion rows/s., 6.85 GB/s.)

There is no event when someone removes the star. This means that star removal is invisible, but it should be rare in any case, so we can calculate the approximate number of stars from these events.

:) SELECT action, count() FROM github_events WHERE event_type = 'WatchEvent' GROUP BY action

┌─action──┬───count()─┐
│ started │ 232118474 │
└─────────┴───────────┘

1 rows in set. Elapsed: 0.034 sec. Processed 232.13 million rows, 464.26 MB (6.77 billion rows/s., 13.53 GB/s.)

There are over 200 million stars on GitHub!

Let's validate the star count by comparing it for my favorite repository:

:) SELECT count() FROM github_events WHERE event_type = 'WatchEvent' AND repo_name IN ('ClickHouse/ClickHouse', 'yandex/ClickHouse') GROUP BY action

┌─count()─┐
│   14359 │
└─────────┘

1 rows in set. Elapsed: 0.006 sec. Processed 32.77 thousand rows, 166.65 KB (5.52 million rows/s., 28.07 MB/s.)

The number looks consistent with the real star count.

(The repository was moved from yandex/ClickHouse to ClickHouse/ClickHouse on October 2019, so we have to sum up the numbers for two repos.)

Top repositories by stars

This is the first report that comes to mind.

50 rows in set. Elapsed: 0.663 sec. Processed 232.13 million rows, 1.81 GB (350.34 million rows/s., 2.73 GB/s.)

The top repository ever is "996.ICU" — it's not for software, but more like a project to improve awareness about work schedules in different Chinese companies. But wait... it's not the top repo. We see two copies of "FreeCodeCamp": FreeCodeCamp/FreeCodeCamp and freeCodeCamp/freeCodeCamp. If we sum up the stars it will be 225390 + 139197 = 360137 — slightly more than "996.ICU". So, the top repository on GitHub is an educational resource.

Next we see: JavaScript framework, then Machine Learning framework, then another JavaScript framework, then the list of Awesome Awesomeness, then the JavaScript education resources, then another education project, another education project, UI framework, education, education, UI framework, JS something, CSS framework and finally in 17th place there is Linux. Let's stop at this point.

Bottomline: GitHub is full of JavaScript frameworks and education content. But don't jump to conclusions yet — we've only scratched the surface!

Distribution of repositories by star count

By the way, what is the distribution of repositories by stars?

SELECT
    exp10(floor(log10(c))) AS stars,
    uniq(k)
FROM
(
    SELECT
        repo_name AS k,
        count() AS c
    FROM github_events
    WHERE event_type = 'WatchEvent'
    GROUP BY k
)
GROUP BY stars
ORDER BY stars ASC

There are only 16 million repositories that have at least one star. There are only 1.4 million repositories with 10+ stars. Just 240 000 repositories have over 100 stars, 29 000 have over 1k stars, 1800 have over 10k stars and there are only 20 repositories with more than 100k stars.

The total number of repositories on GitHub

:) SELECT uniq(repo_name) FROM github_events

┌─uniq(repo_name)─┐

└─────────────────┘

1 rows in set. Elapsed: 3.801 sec. Processed 3.12 billion rows, 24.87 GB (820.73 million rows/s., 6.54 GB/s.)

If we will take all stars and distribute uniformly across all the repositories, every repository will get 1.37 stars.

How has the list of top repositories changed over the years?

The top repo is a Chinese educational resource to prepare for an algorithms interview. Actually, amost all of the top 10 are related to education. The only exceptions are: Deno — a JS runtime and CSSEGISandData/COVID-19 — a repo for COVID-19 data. Yes, I expected that 2020 would be about COVID-19 but happily enough it's not only about COVID-19.

Repository affinity list

A quick question I'm eager to ask: what are the top repositories sorted by the number of stars from people who starred the ClickHouse repository?

SELECT
    repo_name,
    count() AS stars
FROM github_events
WHERE (event_type = 'WatchEvent') AND (actor_login IN
(
    SELECT actor_login
    FROM github_events
    WHERE (event_type = 'WatchEvent') AND (repo_name IN ('ClickHouse/ClickHouse', 'yandex/ClickHouse'))
)) AND (repo_name NOT IN ('ClickHouse/ClickHouse', 'yandex/ClickHouse'))
GROUP BY repo_name
ORDER BY stars DESC
LIMIT 50

It's Tensorflow... and TiDB. Yes, I knew that we are friends with TiDB (they are using the ClickHouse engine under the hood for analytical queries). Then golang, prometheus and kubernetes. The overall list is slightly biased towards data-intensive applications: database engines, distributed filesystems, data orchestration, etc.

Let's calculate the affinity index: the ratio of stars to repositories that were given by users that gave a star to ClickHouse | Linux | LLVM. Don't worry, the query is pretty simple.

SELECT
    repo_name,
    uniq(actor_login) AS total_stars,
    uniqIf(actor_login, actor_login IN
    (
        SELECT actor_login
        FROM github_events
        WHERE (event_type = 'WatchEvent') AND (repo_name IN ('ClickHouse/ClickHouse', 'yandex/ClickHouse'))
    )) AS clickhouse_stars,
    round(clickhouse_stars / total_stars, 2) AS ratio
FROM github_events
WHERE (event_type = 'WatchEvent') AND (repo_name NOT IN ('ClickHouse/ClickHouse', 'yandex/ClickHouse'))
GROUP BY repo_name
HAVING total_stars >= 100

This is the perfect exploration tool for related repositories!

I also added a threshold on the number of stars and I'm counting stars from unique authors instead of just star events, because otherwise I face some data anomalies.

SELECT
    repo_name,
    uniq(actor_login) AS total_stars,
    uniqIf(actor_login, actor_login IN

Surprisingly this simple heuristic works really well!

Finding friends through counting stars

Let me find a friend by the intersection on starred repositories.

WITH repo_name IN
    (
        SELECT repo_name
        FROM github_events
        WHERE (event_type = 'WatchEvent') AND (actor_login IN ('alexey-milovidov'))
    ) AS is_my_repo
SELECT
    actor_login,
    sum(is_my_repo) AS stars_my,
    sum(NOT is_my_repo) AS stars_other,
    round(stars_my / (203 + stars_other), 3) AS ratio
FROM github_events
WHERE event_type = 'WatchEvent'
GROUP BY actor_login
ORDER BY ratio DESC

Here we can see some very specific data. The top repository looks like a test repository where you can check signing a CLA. But there are only 4 users with PRs and they are obviously bots. The next is a repository for a dataset about politicians.

Conclusion: if there are many pull requests from a small number of users, it means that this is just a part of some automated process.

Number three is the package repository for Nix OS. It's quite understandable — if you want your package to be in the OS, just make a pull request. And there are a lot of packages. The same for №5 — Homebrew.

And there is one empty repository with a huge number of trash pull requests: sauron. Looks like a script got out of control.

Repositories with the maximum amount of pull request contributors:

:) SELECT repo_name, count(), uniq(actor_login) AS u FROM github_events WHERE event_type = 'PullRequestEvent' AND action = 'opened' GROUP BY repo_name ORDER BY u DESC LIMIT 50

50 rows in set. Elapsed: 0.488 sec. Processed 111.27 million rows, 1.59 GB (228.02 million rows/s., 3.25 GB/s.)

The top repository no longer exists — probably some misuse of GitHub. The 2nd-place repository has a funny description: "demo: A new issue is created in this repo every minute". The 3rd-place repository has a similar purpose: "this is a test", but the list of issues look more sane — like someone is using GitHub issues for automated crash reports. 4th place is a replacement for a spreadsheet.

The first meaningful result is Microsoft/vscode with over 50k issues from over 15k authors. And the issues are real.

Conclusion: if a repository has a high number of issues, maybe issues are created automatically from crash reports.

Let's also add the number of stars to this report:

WITH (event_type = 'IssuesEvent') AND (action = 'opened') AS issue_created
SELECT
    repo_name,
    sum(issue_created) AS c,
    uniqIf(actor_login, issue_created) AS u,
    sum(event_type = 'WatchEvent') AS stars
FROM github_events
WHERE event_type IN ('IssuesEvent', 'WatchEvent')
GROUP BY repo_name
ORDER BY c DESC
LIMIT 50

The first two are educational. And I'm happy to see the LLVM project in 3rd place. It's really fantastic to have almost a thousand people pushing to the repository. Maybe it's just a development model where they are giving access to separate branches for a user or organization?

Repositories with the most people who have push access to the main branch.

There are 74 million forks on GitHub. This is about half of all repositories. If we filter out repositories that have their main purpose to be forked, the clear winner is Tensorflow, then Bootstrap, React and OpenCV and Linux.

Proportions between stars and forks

Let's check the proportion of stars to forks.

SELECT
    repo_name,
    sum(event_type = 'ForkEvent') AS forks,
    sum(event_type = 'WatchEvent') AS stars,
    round(stars / forks, 3) AS ratio
FROM github_events
WHERE event_type IN ('ForkEvent', 'WatchEvent')
GROUP BY repo_name
ORDER BY forks DESC
LIMIT 50

We can see a separation. Some repositories are "for forks" like the "octocat/Spoon-Knife" — they either have fork as a purpose of the repo or some of them represent a template to base something new on. Some repositories are "for stars" — usually it's not software but some text content, like "996icu/996.ICU" and "sindresorhus/awesome".

Let's find out which repositories are the most "for forks" and "for stars".

More stars less forks:

SELECT
    repo_name,
    sum(event_type = 'ForkEvent') AS forks,
    sum(event_type = 'WatchEvent') AS stars,
    round(stars / forks, 2) AS ratio
FROM github_events
WHERE event_type IN ('ForkEvent', 'WatchEvent')
GROUP BY repo_name
HAVING (stars > 100) AND (forks > 100)
ORDER BY ratio DESC
LIMIT 50

Spark has the most active discussions among the top repositories. In contrast, the repository with the least comments per issue, "google-test/signcla-probe-repo", is clearly not for discussions.

Now let's find the most active issues...

SELECT

WHERE (event_type = 'IssueCommentEvent') AND (action = 'created')
GROUP BY

The top repositories have the most comments in their first issue. It looks like technical comments made by some script. Nothing interesting here, and actually I did not find these comments on the GitHub website (maybe they have already been deleted).

I aimed to find some "epic bugs". Let's filter out by issue number:

SELECT
    repo_name,
    number,
    count() AS comments

WHERE (event_type = 'IssueCommentEvent') AND (action = 'created') AND (number > 10)

I checked the first one and it also looks like some script gone out of control.

Let's also count the number of comment authors and add a threshold:

SELECT
    repo_name,
    number,
    count() AS comments,
    uniq(actor_login) AS authors
FROM github_events
WHERE (event_type = 'IssueCommentEvent') AND (action = 'created') AND (number > 10)
GROUP BY
    repo_name,
    number
HAVING authors >= 10
ORDER BY count() DESC
LIMIT 50

Commits with the most comments

It's rarely the case when a single commit has comments.

Here are the top repositories by the number of commit comments:

SELECT
    repo_name,
    count() AS comments,
    uniq(actor_login) AS authors
FROM github_events
WHERE event_type = 'CommitCommentEvent'
GROUP BY repo_name
ORDER BY count() DESC
LIMIT 50

If there are many comments but a small number of comment authors, usually they are comments from the CI robot.

Here are the "hottest" commits:

SELECT

Obviously most of them are bots. If someone has pushed to 1 398 330 repositories, it's clearly a bot. Even someone pretending to be a human is clearly a bot.

How can we filter out bots? Let's add a threshold on the number of repositories. Let's also count only those who created at least two issues and gave at least two stars. And also output the favorite repository for every user. And also count only across the top 10k repositories.

SELECT
    actor_login,
    sum(event_type = 'PushEvent') AS c,
    uniqIf(repo_name, event_type = 'PushEvent') AS repos,
    sum(event_type = 'IssuesEvent') AS issues,
    sum(event_type = 'WatchEvent') AS stars,
    anyHeavy(repo_name)
FROM github_events
WHERE (event_type IN ('PushEvent', 'IssuesEvent', 'WatchEvent')) AND (repo_name IN

You may notice that Google is slightly ahead of Microsoft. Actually, it depends on how you count. Maybe you should sum up Tensorflow, Kubernetes, Flutter, Golang, and Chrome for Google; GitHub and DotNet for Microsoft; Facebook Research and React for Facebook.

To avoid showing users with a huge number of forked repositories or users with some GitHub misuse, we added a threshold of 10 stars. Microsoft wins by a huge margin. Packt Publishing is quite interesting — they have repositories for articles and books. Sindre Sorhus is also a very notable open-source contributor, mostly for the list of awesome awesomeness.

50 rows in set. Elapsed: 11.110 sec. Processed 2.20 billion rows, 27.55 GB (198.17 million rows/s., 2.48 GB/s.)

Microsoft wins in 4 out of 6 categories. Apache wins for the number of code reviewers (I thought they are using JIRA, but actually it's not always the case). Learn-co-students wins for the number of PR authors. By the way, they also have 250 000 repositories!

Please take it with a grain of salt. Not every team is using GitHub as their issue tracker or code review system. Linux and Postgres are using maillists. LLVM is using Bugzilla and Phabricator.

Repositories by amount of modified code

I want to get the repositories with the most added and removed code over time. If I do it in a naive way, the multiple forks of cdn.js repository will be on top. By the way, cdn.js is the largest repository in GitHub by size in bytes (it contains all popular JavaScript libraries, the total size is 254GB). To get something interesting, I added a threshold for the number of diff size and also for the ratio of added and removed code (in actively developing codebases, the ratio should be close to one).

SELECT
    repo_name,
    count() AS prs,
    uniq(actor_login) AS authors,
    sum(additions) AS adds,
    sum(deletions) AS dels
FROM github_events
WHERE (event_type = 'PullRequestEvent') AND (action = 'opened') AND (additions < 10000) AND (deletions < 10000)
GROUP BY repo_name
HAVING (adds / dels) < 10
ORDER BY adds + dels DESC
LIMIT 50

Even the "996.ICU" repository has something about ClickHouse. I cannot find it on the GitHub website, but I can do it with our dataset!

这里有一个基于Spark的项目,可以让我们不写spark代码,用最简单的配置,迅速跑起来流式streaming或离线的数据处理或分析的spark程序,大家可以玩一玩。它有丰富的数据输入,输出插件,比如kafka, elasticsearch, mongodb, mysql, hdfs, hive,clickhouse,TiDB 还可以直接用sql做数据处理。如果觉得功能不够还可以开发自己的插件,挺方便的。目前有微博,新浪,永辉超市等多家公司在线上使用。

This is the true "face" of GitHub. Run a few queries and you can estimate and taste the Octoverse this way.

How to download the data

Install ClickHouse

Follow the instruction.

Download the dataset

You can download the dataset as a file and then insert into ClickHouse or any other DBMS.

Here is the dataset in ClickHouse Native format (73 GB).
Alternatively you can download the same dataset in tab-separated format (85 GB).

To decompress the dataset from .xz it's recommended to install and use the pixz (parallel xz) tool. The ordinary xz tool can be used as well.

To insert the downloaded dataset into ClickHouse, create a table:

$ clickhouse-client
ClickHouse client version 20.11.3.3 (official build).
Connecting to localhost:9000 as user default.
Connected to ClickHouse server version 20.11.3 revision 54442.

And insert it with the command:

pixz -d < github_events.native.xz | clickhouse-client --query "INSERT INTO github_events FORMAT Native"

You can transform the datasets between various formats with the clickhouse-local tool. Example to convert data from Native to JSONEachRow (aka jsonlines aka ndjson):

xz -d < github_events.native.xz | clickhouse-local --input-format Native --output-format JSONEachRow --query "SELECT * FROM table" --structure "event_type Enum('CommitCommentEvent' = 1, 'CreateEvent' = 2, 'DeleteEvent' = 3, 'ForkEvent' = 4, 'GollumEvent' = 5, 'IssueCommentEvent' = 6, 'IssuesEvent' = 7, 'MemberEvent' = 8, 'PublicEvent' = 9, 'PullRequestEvent' = 10, 'PullRequestReviewCommentEvent' = 11, 'PushEvent' = 12, 'ReleaseEvent' = 13, 'SponsorshipEvent' = 14, 'WatchEvent' = 15, 'GistEvent' = 16, 'FollowEvent' = 17, 'DownloadEvent' = 18, 'PullRequestReviewEvent' = 19, 'ForkApplyEvent' = 20), actor_login LowCardinality(String), repo_name LowCardinality(String), created_at DateTime, updated_at DateTime, action Enum('none' = 0, 'created' = 1, 'added' = 2, 'edited' = 3, 'deleted' = 4, 'opened' = 5, 'closed' = 6, 'reopened' = 7, 'assigned' = 8, 'unassigned' = 9, 'labeled' = 10, 'unlabeled' = 11, 'review_requested' = 12, 'review_request_removed' = 13, 'synchronize' = 14, 'started' = 15, 'published' = 16, 'update' = 17, 'create' = 18, 'fork' = 19), comment_id UInt64, body String, path String, position Int32, line UInt32, ref LowCardinality(String), ref_type Enum('none' = 0, 'branch' = 1, 'tag' = 2, 'repository' = 3), creator_user_login LowCardinality(String), number UInt32, title String, labels Array(LowCardinality(String)), state Enum('none' = 0, 'open' = 1, 'closed' = 2), locked UInt8, assignee LowCardinality(String), assignees Array(LowCardinality(String)), comments UInt32, author_association Enum('NONE' = 0, 'CONTRIBUTOR' = 1, 'OWNER' = 2, 'COLLABORATOR' = 3, 'MEMBER' = 4, 'MANNEQUIN' = 5), closed_at DateTime, merged_at DateTime, merge_commit_sha String, requested_reviewers Array(LowCardinality(String)), requested_teams Array(LowCardinality(String)), head_ref LowCardinality(String), head_sha String, base_ref LowCardinality(String), base_sha String, merged UInt8, mergeable UInt8, rebaseable UInt8, mergeable_state Enum('unknown' = 0, 'dirty' = 1, 'clean' = 2, 'unstable' = 3, 'draft' = 4), merged_by LowCardinality(String), review_comments UInt32, maintainer_can_modify UInt8, commits UInt32, additions UInt32, deletions UInt32, changed_files UInt32, diff_hunk String, original_position UInt32, commit_id String, original_commit_id String, push_size UInt32, push_distinct_size UInt32, member_login LowCardinality(String), release_tag_name String, release_name String, review_state Enum('none' = 0, 'approved' = 1, 'changes_requested' = 2, 'commented' = 3, 'dismissed' = 4, 'pending' = 5)"

Download the dataset directly into ClickHouse

This is an option to import the dataset into ClickHouse without a separate download and decompression step.

It requires minimum ClickHouse version 20.12 to support xz decompression.

Create a foreign table that will read data from a URL:

CREATE TABLE github_events_url
ENGINE = URL('https://clickhouse-public-datasets.s3.amazonaws.com/github_events_v2.native.xz');

Create the destination table and insert data:

CREATE TABLE github_events ENGINE = MergeTree ORDER BY (event_type, repo_name, created_at) AS SELECT * FROM github_events_url;

How this dataset is created

This section explains how to recreate the dataset from the raw data (1.2 TB json.gz). You don't have to follow these steps because we have already prepared a preprocessed structured dataset for download (just 65 GB).

Download the raw data

There is a wonderful project called GH Archive. It provides dumps of events on GitHub to download. Data is split into files per hour like https://data.gharchive.org/2015-01-01-15.json.gz.

You can download all the files with the command:

wget --continue https://data.gharchive.org/{2015..2020}-{01..12}-{01..31}-{0..23}.json.gz

If you see the Argument list too long message, split to multiple commands by years.

If download fails, just run the command again (--continue will skip already downloaded files).

The total number of files is 84 264 and the total size is about 1.2 TB.

Typical download speed is ~16 MB/sec. The download will take about a day.

There is no point parallelizing the download within one server, because rate limits will apply and the effective download speed will remain the same. You can parallelize by using different servers... but it's better not to bother because it is just one terabyte and you just need to wait from one day to several days at most. Prepare a server with at least 1.5 terabytes of space, run the download, leave for the weekend and that's it.

Preprocess the raw data for analysis

The raw dataset is a bunch of gzipped files containing data in JSON Lines format (JSON object on every line). The structure of the JSON object is the same as what the GitHub API provides. Every JSON object contains one event and all the related info. For example, let's look at the PullRequestEvent:

gzip -cd < 2020-11-13-9.json.gz | grep -F 'PullRequestEvent' | head -n1 | jq '.'

It's quite a rich JSON. It contains the data about the pull request itself and all the associated objects (actor — who has modified the pull request, the author of the pull request, the repository where the pull request exists, etc.)

A way to analyze the raw data without preprocessing

There are multiple ways to analyze a bunch of .json.gz files without any preprocessing. For example, you can use the jq tool, though it will be very inefficient.

A more efficient way to analyze data without preprocessing is by using the clickhouse-local tool. It is like a replacement for awk, sed, grep with the ClickHouse SQL engine:

clickhouse-local --query "
    SELECT count() FROM file('*.json.gz', LineAsString, 'data String')
    WHERE JSONExtractString(data, 'actor', 'login') = 'alexey-milovidov'"

Here we parse input data as a single String field per line and then process it with JSON functions.
clickhouse-local will do all the heavy-lifting:
— select files by wildcard pattern;
— decompress gzip data on the fly (with zlib-ng);
— parallelize data processing by files and by chunks within each file;
— process JSON with the help of simdjson — the fastest JSON library in existence;

Data processing will be limited by disk speed. If we assume 1 GB/sec sequential read speed, it will take about 20 minutes per query. You may think this is okay, but it isn't. It is just the best possible speed of processing raw .json.gz data, but we can do better if we preprocess our data.

If we want to analyze our data faster, we have to transform it from semistructured JSON format to a set of well-structured relational tables. The principle: structured is always more efficient than semistructured.

How to choose the structure for the data?

First let's find out what data we have by reading the GitHub API docs.

There are a bunch of event types:

— CommitCommentEvent;
— CreateEvent;
— DeleteEvent;
— ForkEvent;
— GollumEvent;
— IssueCommentEvent;
— IssuesEvent;
— MemberEvent;
— PublicEvent;
— PullRequestEvent;
— PullRequestReviewCommentEvent;
— PushEvent;
— ReleaseEvent;
— SponsorshipEvent;
— WatchEvent;

And the list is incomplete... while analyzing the data I have found a few "secret" or obsolete event types.

Every event type has its own properties.

What is the best way to structure all this data?

We can consider two options:

1. Every event type in its own table.

For example, WatchEvent is about stars assignment. We can create a table for these events. And when we need to calculate the number of stars per repository, the graph of stars or top starred repositories per year, we will just do SELECT from this table. But if we need to compare the ratio of stars and the number of pull request contributors, we will have to JOIN several tables.

2. All event types in a single table.

The table works like a "discriminated union". It will contain a field named event_type to discriminate various events. It will contain all columns that are common for different events like "event date and time", "actor name", "repository name". It will also contain the union of all different properties of different event types. We will have a wide table with many columns, but some columns will be very sparse (filled with values only for certain rare event types).

I can strongly recommend the second option: all events in one table.

The table will contain many columns... and that's exactly what column-oriented databases are for! Sparse columns will compress well, so you don't have to worry that they are sparse. As an added benefit, you can avoid doing queries with JOINs when you need to analyze multiple event types at once.

I analyzed the properties of all event types and ended up with the following table structure in ClickHouse:

) ENGINE = MergeTree ORDER BY (event_type, repo_name, created_at);

A few details:

1. Table is ordered by event_type. This means that when you SELECT with the condition on the event type, it will process as efficiently as if the selected events were located in a separate table.

2. Next to event_type we have repo_name. When you SELECT data for a certain repo, it will process almost instantly because only a few contiguous ranges of data will be read — only the ranges that contain data for this repo. Basically, ORDER BY expression in a table is the most efficient index possible. It's also worth noting that data sorted by repository name will compress better due to better data locality.

3. Next to repo_name we have created_at — the time of event. We put it as the last column in the ORDER BY expression, because proper data ordering will improve compression.

4. ENGINE = MergeTree is used as the recommended choice for medium to large sized datasets.

5. We use Enum data types when we know the set of values in advance.

6. We don't use Nullable data types, because they are less efficient than just using empty string / zeros for absence of values.

7. LowCardinality(String) is used to apply additional dictionary compression when strings are expected to repeat frequently. Data is always compressed in ClickHouse. But LowCardinality acts better than generic compression, because it allows to process data without decompression.

8. We use Array data type for labels, assignees, etc. It's quite convenient to have this option.

How to transform data from JSON to a flat table

The most simple way is to use jq.

jq is slow. gzip decompression is slow. Here we parallelize it with the xargs -P trick.

A quick intro into jq syntax:

[...] means to collect into a JSON array.
.actor.login is the navigation inside the JSON object.
.elem.field? means to emit null instead of error if the elem is not an object.
// means "or" (Python-like). If the left-hand side is not found, the right-hand side will be selected.
[]?.name means to select the object's name field if it exists, for each element of the array.

This jq expression will create an array for every event. We pipe these arrays into clickhouse-client to INSERT INTO github_events parsing the data with JSONCompactEachRow format.

The JSONCompactEachRow is one of the input/output formats supported by ClickHouse. Basically it means "JSON array for every table row".

The option --input_format_null_as_default will transform JSON nulls (when the field is not found) to default values (like 0 or empty string). The option --date_time_input_format best_effort allows to parse the DateTime field in various formats, including ISO-8601.

Data loading will take a few hours, and the bottleneck is jq.

Congratulations, now we are able to recreate the dataset from the raw data! (Assuming the GHArchive continues to exist).

How to update the database continuously

If you want to continuously update the database, just run the script in cron:

# Assuming raw data is located in './gharchive' directory.
mkdir gharchive_new
cd gharchive_new

ls -1 ../gharchive | clickhouse-local --structure 'file String' --query "WITH (SELECT max(parseDateTimeBestEffort(extract(file, '^(.+)\.json\.gz$'), 'UTC')) FROM table) AS last SELECT toString(toDate(last + INTERVAL arrayJoin(range(0, 24)) - 12 HOUR AS t)) || '-' || toString(toHour(t)) || '.json.gz' WHERE t < now()" | xargs -I{} bash -c "[ -f ../gharchive/{} ] || wget --continue 'https://data.gharchive.org/{}'"
