What is surprising: if you query MySQL from ClickHouse, the queries work faster despite the fact that the data is simply read from MySQL.

And two more use-cases: - you can create a table in ClickHouse pointing to multiple MySQL servers for sharding and failover, so ClickHouse can be used to query sharded MySQL; - you can create a key-value dictionary on top of MySQL tables and use it in JOINs.
