+
+## Component format
+
+To setup ClickHouse state store create a component of type `state.clickhouse`. See [this guide]({{< ref "howto-get-save-state.md#step-1-setup-a-state-store" >}}) on how to create and apply a state store configuration.
+
+```yaml
+apiVersion: dapr.io/v1alpha1
+kind: Component
+metadata:
+  name: <NAME>
+spec:
+  type: state.clickhouse
+  version: v1
+  metadata:
+  - name: clickhouseURL
+    value: <CONNECTION_URL>
+  - name: databaseName
+    value: <DATABASE_NAME>
+  - name: tableName
+    value: <TABLE_NAME>
+  - name: username # Optional
+    value: <USERNAME>
+  - name: password # Optional
+    value: <PASSWORD>
+```
+
+{{% alert title="Warning" color="warning" %}}
+The above example uses secrets as plain strings. It is recommended to use a secret store for the secrets as described [here]({{< ref component-secrets.md >}}).

+## Spec metadata fields
+
+| Field              | Required | Details | Example |
+|--------------------|:--------:|---------|---------|
+| clickhouseURL      | Y        | Connection URL for the ClickHouse server | `"clickhouse://localhost:9000"`, `"clickhouse://clickhouse-server:9000"` |
+| databaseName       | Y        | Name of the database to use | `"dapr_state"`, `"my_database"` |
+| tableName          | Y        | Name of the table to store state data | `"state_table"`, `"dapr_state_store"` |
+| username           | N        | Username for ClickHouse authentication. Can be `secretKeyRef` to use a secret reference | `"default"`, `"my_user"` |
+| password           | N        | Password for ClickHouse authentication. Can be `secretKeyRef` to use a secret reference | `"my_password"` |
+
+## Setup ClickHouse
+
+Dapr can use any ClickHouse instance: containerized, running on your local dev machine, or a managed cloud service.
+
+{{< tabs "Self-Hosted" "Kubernetes" "Cloud" >}}
+
+{{% codetab %}}
+
+1. Run an instance of ClickHouse. You can run a local instance of ClickHouse in Docker with the following command:
+
+   ```bash
+   docker run -d --name clickhouse-server \
+     -p 8123:8123 -p 9000:9000 \
+     -e CLICKHOUSE_DEFAULT_ACCESS_MANAGEMENT=1 \
+     -e CLICKHOUSE_PASSWORD=my_password \
+     clickhouse/clickhouse-server
+   ```
+
+2. Create a database for state data (optional, as Dapr will create it automatically):
+
+   ```sql
+   CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS dapr_state;
+   ```

+
+{{% codetab %}}
+
+You can use [Helm](https://helm.sh/) to quickly create a ClickHouse instance in your Kubernetes cluster. This approach requires [Installing Helm](https://github.com/helm/helm#install).
+
+1. Add the ClickHouse Helm repository:
+   ```bash
+   helm repo add clickhouse https://docs.altinity.com/clickhouse-operator/
+   helm repo update
+   ```
+
+2. Install ClickHouse into your cluster:
+   ```bash
+   helm install clickhouse clickhouse/clickhouse
+   ```
+
+3. Run `kubectl get pods` to see the ClickHouse containers now running in your cluster.
+
+4. Add the ClickHouse service endpoint as the `clickhouseURL` in your component configuration. For example:
+   ```yaml
+   metadata:
+   - name: clickhouseURL
+     value: "clickhouse://clickhouse:9000"
+   ```

+
+ClickHouse is available as a managed service from various cloud providers:
+
+- [ClickHouse Cloud](https://clickhouse.com/cloud)
+- [Altinity.Cloud](https://altinity.com/cloud-database/)
+- [Yandex Managed Service for ClickHouse](https://cloud.yandex.com/services/managed-clickhouse)
+
+When using a managed service, ensure you have the correct connection URL, database name, and credentials configured in your component metadata.

+
+## Features
+
+The ClickHouse state store supports the following features:
+
+### ETags
+
+The ClickHouse state store supports [ETags]({{< ref state-management-overview.md >}}) for optimistic concurrency control. ETags are automatically generated and updated when state data is modified.
+
+### TTL (Time-To-Live)
+
+This state store supports [Time-To-Live (TTL)]({{< ref state-store-ttl.md >}}) for records stored with Dapr. When storing data using Dapr, you can set the `ttlInSeconds` metadata property to indicate after how many seconds the data should be considered "expired".
+
+Example of setting TTL:
+
+```json
+{
+  "key": "my-key",
+  "value": "my-value",
+  "metadata": {
+    "ttlInSeconds": "3600"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Records with expired TTLs are automatically filtered out during read operations and are eligible for cleanup by ClickHouse's background processes.
+
+## Advanced
+
+### Table Schema
+
+The ClickHouse state store creates a table with the following schema:
+
+```sql
+CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS <database>.<table> (
+    key String,
+    value String,
+    etag String,
+    expire DateTime64(3) NULL,
+    PRIMARY KEY(key)
+) ENGINE = ReplacingMergeTree()
+ORDER BY key
+```
+
+The table uses ClickHouse's `ReplacingMergeTree` engine, which automatically deduplicates rows with the same primary key during background merges.
+
+### Connection URL Format
+
+The ClickHouse connection URL follows the standard format:
+
+```
+clickhouse://[username[:password]@]host[:port][/database][?param1=value1&...&paramN=valueN]
+```
+
+Examples:
+- `clickhouse://localhost:9000`
+- `clickhouse://user:password@clickhouse-server:9000/my_db`
+- `clickhouse://localhost:9000?dial_timeout=10s&max_execution_time=60`
+
+### Performance Considerations
+
+- The ClickHouse state store is optimized for high-throughput scenarios
+- For better performance with large datasets, consider partitioning your table by date or other relevant columns
+- The `ReplacingMergeTree` engine provides eventual consistency for duplicate key handling
+- Background merges in ClickHouse will automatically clean up old versions of updated records
+
+### Bulk Operations
+
+The ClickHouse state store supports bulk operations for improved performance:
+
+- `BulkGet`: Retrieve multiple keys in a single operation
+- `BulkSet`: Store multiple key-value pairs in a single operation  
+- `BulkDelete`: Delete multiple keys in a single operation
