Check for Dictionary Updates via Source Request

You can check for updates to the dictionary by sending a request to the source.
Introduces the ability to trigger a dictionary update by sending a request directly to the dictionary's source.

Why it matters

Previously, dictionary updates in ClickHouse either occurred automatically on a set schedule or required manual reload commands, limiting control over update timing. This feature provides users with the flexibility to check for and apply dictionary updates on demand by querying the dictionary source. This enables more responsive data synchronization and reduces the lag between source data changes and dictionary updates.

How to use it

Send a request directly to the dictionary's source to trigger a check for updates. This can be done by calling the check-for-dictionary-updates-via-source-request mechanism, which queries the source and forces the dictionary to update if new data is available.
