Add support Clickhouse database as source and sink

[Delphin1]

It will be great if Arroyo also will be able to work with Clickhouse.

FWIW, if your data is already on Kafka, it's trivial to sync

• Kafka to Clickhouse: https://clickhouse.com/docs/en/integrations/kafka#clickhouse-to-kafka
• Kafka from Clickhouse: https://clickhouse.com/docs/en/integrations/kafka#clickhouse-to-kafka

that said, syncing Arroyo stream to Clickhouse without Kafka would be cool indeed for long-term storage.

What would the high-level design be for implementing this feature and testing procedure?
Looks like a cool one.

Clickhouse has various integrations for data ingestions, Kafka as mentioned above is just one of them.

I'm no expert but maybe any of these https://clickhouse.com/docs/en/integrations -> search for "Data ingestion" work well together with what Arroyo.dev already has.

Maybe try remote select?

Something like:

SELECT * FROM remote('127.0.0.1', db.remote_engine_table) LIMIT 3;

CH Docs:
https://clickhouse.com/docs/en/sql-reference/table-functions/remote

With that in place, you can simply run a remote insert into a ClickHouse table via the tcp protocol.

This might be easier and faster to implement than a full-blown integration.
