The Dataflow Java runner lets you execute custom Apache Beam pipelines on Google Cloud’s Dataflow service. This approach provides maximum flexibility and is well-suited for advanced ETL workflows.
How it works
-
Pipeline Implementation
To use the Java runner, you need to implement your Beam pipeline using the
ClickHouseIO - our official Apache Beam connector. For code examples and instructions on how to use the ClickHouseIO, please visit ClickHouse Apache Beam.
-
Deployment
Once your pipeline is implemented and configured, you can deploy it to Dataflow using Google Cloud’s deployment tools. Comprehensive deployment instructions are provided in the Google Cloud Dataflow documentation - Java Pipeline.
Note: This approach assumes familiarity with the Beam framework and coding expertise. If you prefer a no-code solution, consider using ClickHouse’s predefined templates. Last modified on June 8, 2026
