| description | Profile ClickHouse data, design data-quality tests appropriate to what each column actually is, then build and deploy a ClickHouse DQ testing pipeline to Orchestra. |
Goal: inspect real ClickHouse data, design tests that fit what each column means (not a
generic null check on everything), deploy them as an Orchestra pipeline, run it, and report
what's actually wrong. A test that fails because the data is bad is the skill working
correctly — do not tune thresholds until everything is green.
Flow: profile → design tests → write pipeline YAML → branch (or create pipeline if no git) →
register → run → report.
Read first
../../references/orchestra/dq-tests/clickhouse.md — ClickHouse profiling SQL, the test
catalogue in ClickHouse SQL, the pipeline YAML, and ClickHouse-specific error causes (including
its beta status).
../../references/orchestra/dq-tests/workflow.md — the engine-agnostic rest of the workflow:
thresholds, the matrix/gating pattern, branching, registering, triggering, and how to interpret
results. Applies unchanged to ClickHouse.
Workflow
- Profile the data and design tests per
clickhouse.md §1–2.
- Write the pipeline YAML per
clickhouse.md §3, following the gating pattern and threshold
rules in workflow.md.
- Branch the repo (or create the pipeline if there's no git), register, trigger, poll, and
report — all per
workflow.md, using the ClickHouse-specific error causes and qualified-name
format from clickhouse.md §4 when interpreting results.
