Add MergeTree Support for DiskS3
Add MergeTree full support for DiskS3 #9646 (Pavel Kovalenko)
Why it matters
This feature enables users to store MergeTree table data directly on Amazon S3-compatible object storage via DiskS3, allowing scalable, cost-effective, and durable storage options beyond local disks or traditional file systems.How to use it
To use this feature, configure a DiskS3 storage in ClickHouse settings and create a MergeTree table specifying the S3 disk in theSETTINGS clause or table configuration. This allows the MergeTree engine to read and write data files on S3 transparently.
