Why it matters
This feature enhances the configuration file discovery process inclickhouse-client by adding support for yaml and yml formats. It solves the problem of clients only recognizing xml configuration files by enabling more flexible and modern configuration management using YAML, which is widely used and easier to read and write.How to use it
Users don't need to explicitly enable anything. Whenclickhouse-client starts, it will automatically look for default yaml and yml config files after checking for xml files. Simply place your configuration files in YAML format alongside or instead of XML files.
