History

The request for a ClickHouse MetaBase driver is formulated in MetaBase issue #3332. Some impatient ClickHouse users started development. The MetaBase team is asking driver developers to publish plug-ins and collect some experiences before considering a PR, so here we are.

This driver is based on the following PRs:

• metabase#8491
• metabase#8722
• metabase#9469
