  • Basic CRUD operations for state management
  • Support for TTL (Time-To-Live)
  • ETag support for optimistic concurrency
  • Bulk operations support
  • Username/password authentication
  • Uses ReplacingMergeTree engine for efficient updates

Key implementation details:

  • Uses the official ClickHouse Go driver
  • Implements the full state.Store interface
  • Handles connection management and cleanup
  • Includes comprehensive integration tests
  • Follows Dapr's component development guidelines

Implementation Details

The component includes:

  1. State store implementation (clickhouse.go)

    • Full CRUD operations
    • Bulk operations
    • TTL support
    • ETag support
    • Authentication support
  2. Tests (clickhouse_test.go)

    • Integration tests for CRUD operations
    • Metadata validation tests
    • Authentication tests
    • Cleanup handling
  3. Configuration options:

    apiVersion: dapr.io/v1alpha1
    kind: Component
    metadata:
      name: statestore

Thanks @middt, implementation generally looks good to me!

Would it be possible to add conformance tests for this too? It seems like we should be able to spin up a click house docker compose.

Thank you for the feedback! @JoshVanL I've implemented the conformance tests for the ClickHouse state store in this PR:

  1. Created a Docker Compose setup in /tests/certification/state/clickhouse/docker-compose.yml that spins up a ClickHouse server with proper configuration
  2. Added a conformance test file in /tests/certification/state/clickhouse/clickhouse_test.go that verifies all state store operations
  3. Created configuration files in /tests/config/state/clickhouse/clickhouse.yml for the test environment
  4. Added ClickHouse to the state store tests configuration in /tests/config/state/tests.yml

The tests verify all the key functionality including:

  • Basic CRUD operations
  • ETag support for optimistic concurrency
  • Error handling for empty and non-existent keys
  • Feature reporting

I've also addressed authentication issues by properly configuring username and password in both the Docker Compose setup and the state store implementation.

All unit tests are now passing, confirming that the implementation works correctly with the ClickHouse server.

Thanks @middt, I think the only thing left is to do a go mod tidy and it should be good to go 🙂

Appreciate the work on this!
