v.20.11New Feature

Single Protobuf Message Read/Write Without Length-Delimiters

Allows to read/write Single protobuf message at once (w/o length-delimiters). #15199 (filimonov).
Allows reading and writing a single Protobuf message at once without length-delimiters in ClickHouse.

Why it matters

This feature solves the problem of handling Protobuf data that consists of a single message without length-delimiters, simplifying integration with systems that produce or consume such messages. It provides more flexible and direct Protobuf processing for users working with this serialization format.

How to use it

Users can enable reading or writing of single Protobuf messages without length-delimiters by configuring the appropriate Protobuf format settings in ClickHouse when importing or exporting data.
