v.23.8New Feature

Added azureBlobStorageCluster table function similar to s3Cluster

Official CH changelog text
Added table function azureBlobStorageCluster. The supported set of features is very similar to table function s3Cluster. #50795 (SmitaRKulkarni).
Added the azureBlobStorageCluster table function, providing functionality similar to the existing s3Cluster table function for querying Azure Blob Storage in a distributed manner.

Why it matters

This feature enables users to perform distributed queries across multiple Azure Blob Storage accounts or containers by using a cluster-like abstraction. It solves the problem of integrating Azure Blob Storage into ClickHouse with cluster-aware parallelism, enhancing scalability and performance for data stored on Azure.

How to use it

Use the azureBlobStorageCluster table function in your SELECT statements to query data distributed across Azure Blob Storage locations. The usage pattern is similar to s3Cluster, where you specify connection details and cluster configuration inside the function parameters.
