Prevent Out of Memory Error in Large JOIN Operations

Prevent out of memory while constructing result of a large JOIN. #8637 (Artem Zuikov)
Prevents out-of-memory errors during the construction of large JOIN query results in ClickHouse.

Why it matters

When executing large JOIN operations, ClickHouse could run out of memory while building the result set. This feature improves memory management to avoid such failures, ensuring more reliable query execution for large datasets.

How to use it

This improvement is applied internally and requires no user intervention or configuration. Users benefit from enhanced join operations automatically when upgrading to the version including this fix.
