移除书签New York Public Library “What’s on the Menu?” Dataset
The dataset is created by the New York Public Library. It contains historical data on the menus of hotels, restaurants and cafes with the dishes along with their prices.
Source: http://menus.nypl.org/data
The data is in public domain.
The data is from library’s archive and it may be incomplete and difficult for statistical analysis. Nevertheless it is also very yummy.
The size is just 1.3 million records about dishes in the menus (a very small data volume for ClickHouse, but it’s still a good example).
Download the Dataset
wget https://s3.amazonaws.com/menusdata.nypl.org/gzips/2021_08_01_07_01_17_data.tgz
Replace the link to the up to date link from http://menus.nypl.org/data if needed.
Download size is about 35 MB.
Unpack the Dataset
tar xvf 2021_08_01_07_01_17_data.tgz
Uncompressed size is about 150 MB.
The data is normalized consisted of four tables:
- Menu: information about menus: the name of the restaurant, the date when menu was seen, etc;
- Dish: information about dishes: the name of the dish along with some characteristic;
- MenuPage: information about the pages in the menus; every page belongs to some menu;
- MenuItem: an item of the menu - a dish along with its price on some menu page: links to dish and menu page.
Create the Tables
CREATE TABLE dish(id UInt32,name String,description String,menus_appeared UInt32,times_appeared Int32,first_appeared UInt16,last_appeared UInt16,lowest_price Decimal64(3),highest_price Decimal64(3)) ENGINE = MergeTree ORDER BY id;CREATE TABLE menu(id UInt32,name String,sponsor String,event String,venue String,place String,physical_description String,occasion String,notes String,call_number String,keywords String,language String,date String,location String,location_type String,currency String,currency_symbol String,status String,page_count UInt16,dish_count UInt16) ENGINE = MergeTree ORDER BY id;CREATE TABLE menu_page(id UInt32,menu_id UInt32,page_number UInt16,image_id String,full_height UInt16,full_width UInt16,uuid UUID) ENGINE = MergeTree ORDER BY id;CREATE TABLE menu_item(id UInt32,menu_page_id UInt32,price Decimal64(3),high_price Decimal64(3),dish_id UInt32,created_at DateTime,updated_at DateTime,xpos Float64,ypos Float64) ENGINE = MergeTree ORDER BY id;
We use Decimal data type to store prices. Everything else is quite straightforward.
Import Data
Upload data into ClickHouse:
clickhouse-client --format_csv_allow_single_quotes 0 --input_format_null_as_default 0 --query "INSERT INTO dish FORMAT CSVWithNames" < Dish.csvclickhouse-client --format_csv_allow_single_quotes 0 --input_format_null_as_default 0 --query "INSERT INTO menu FORMAT CSVWithNames" < Menu.csvclickhouse-client --format_csv_allow_single_quotes 0 --input_format_null_as_default 0 --query "INSERT INTO menu_page FORMAT CSVWithNames" < MenuPage.csvclickhouse-client --format_csv_allow_single_quotes 0 --input_format_null_as_default 0 --date_time_input_format best_effort --query "INSERT INTO menu_item FORMAT CSVWithNames" < MenuItem.csv
We use CSVWithNames format as the data is represented by CSV with header.
We disable format_csv_allow_single_quotes as only double quotes are used for data fields and single quotes can be inside the values and should not confuse the CSV parser.
We disable input_format_null_as_default as our data does not have NULLs. Otherwise ClickHouse will try to parse \N sequences and can be confused with \ in data.
The setting --date_time_input_format best_effort allows to parse DateTime fields in wide variety of formats. For example, ISO-8601 without seconds like ‘2000-01-01 01:02’ will be recognized. Without this setting only fixed DateTime format is allowed.
Denormalize the Data
Data is presented in multiple tables in normalized form. It means you have to perform JOINs if you want to query, e.g. dish names from menu items.
For typical analytical tasks it is way more efficient to deal with pre-JOINed data to avoid doing JOIN every time. It is called “denormalized” data.
We will create a table that will contain all the data JOINed together:
CREATE TABLE menu_item_denormENGINE = MergeTree ORDER BY (dish_name, created_at)AS SELECTprice,high_price,created_at,updated_at,xpos,ypos,dish.id AS dish_id,dish.name AS dish_name,dish.description AS dish_description,dish.menus_appeared AS dish_menus_appeared,dish.times_appeared AS dish_times_appeared,dish.first_appeared AS dish_first_appeared,dish.last_appeared AS dish_last_appeared,dish.lowest_price AS dish_lowest_price,dish.highest_price AS dish_highest_price,menu.id AS menu_id,menu.name AS menu_name,menu.sponsor AS menu_sponsor,menu.event AS menu_event,menu.venue AS menu_venue,menu.place AS menu_place,menu.physical_description AS menu_physical_description,menu.occasion AS menu_occasion,menu.notes AS menu_notes,menu.call_number AS menu_call_number,menu.keywords AS menu_keywords,menu.language AS menu_language,menu.date AS menu_date,menu.location AS menu_location,menu.location_type AS menu_location_type,menu.currency AS menu_currency,menu.currency_symbol AS menu_currency_symbol,menu.status AS menu_status,menu.page_count AS menu_page_count,menu.dish_count AS menu_dish_countFROM menu_itemJOIN dish ON menu_item.dish_id = dish.idJOIN menu_page ON menu_item.menu_page_id = menu_page.idJOIN menu ON menu_page.menu_id = menu.id

To get vodka we have to write ILIKE '%vodka%' and this definitely makes a statement.
