[Edit this page](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/tree/master/docs/en/operations/system-tables/replication_queue.md)

Contains information about tasks from replication queues stored in ClickHouse Keeper, or ZooKeeper, for tables in the `ReplicatedMergeTree` family.

Columns:

- `database` ([String](/docs/sql-reference/data-types/string)) — Name of the database.
- `table` ([String](/docs/sql-reference/data-types/string)) — Name of the table.
- `replica_name` ([String](/docs/sql-reference/data-types/string)) — Replica name in ClickHouse Keeper. Different replicas of the same table have different names.
- `position` ([UInt32](/docs/sql-reference/data-types/int-uint)) — Position of the task in the queue.
- `node_name` ([String](/docs/sql-reference/data-types/string)) — Node name in ClickHouse Keeper.
- `type` ([String](/docs/sql-reference/data-types/string)) — Type of the task in the queue, one of:

  - `GET_PART` — Get the part from another replica.
  - `ATTACH_PART` — Attach the part, possibly from our own replica (if found in the `detached` folder). You may think of it as a `GET_PART` with some optimizations as they're nearly identical.
  - `MERGE_PARTS` — Merge the parts.
  - `DROP_RANGE` — Delete the parts in the specified partition in the specified number range.
  - `CLEAR_COLUMN` — NOTE: Deprecated. Drop specific column from specified partition.
  - `CLEAR_INDEX` — NOTE: Deprecated. Drop specific index from specified partition.
  - `REPLACE_RANGE` — Drop a certain range of parts and replace them with new ones.
  - `MUTATE_PART` — Apply one or several mutations to the part.
  - `ALTER_METADATA` — Apply alter modification according to global /metadata and /columns paths.
- `create_time` ([DateTime](/docs/sql-reference/data-types/datetime)) — Date and time when the task was submitted for execution.
- `required_quorum` ([UInt32](/docs/sql-reference/data-types/int-uint)) — The number of replicas waiting for the task to complete with confirmation of completion. This column is only relevant for the `GET_PARTS` task.
- `source_replica` ([String](/docs/sql-reference/data-types/string)) — Name of the source replica.
- `new_part_name` ([String](/docs/sql-reference/data-types/string)) — Name of the new part.
- `parts_to_merge` ([Array](/docs/sql-reference/data-types/array) ([String](/docs/sql-reference/data-types/string))) — Names of parts to merge or update.
- `is_detach` ([UInt8](/docs/sql-reference/data-types/int-uint)) — The flag indicates whether the `DETACH_PARTS` task is in the queue.
- `is_currently_executing` ([UInt8](/docs/sql-reference/data-types/int-uint)) — The flag indicates whether a specific task is being performed right now.
- `num_tries` ([UInt32](/docs/sql-reference/data-types/int-uint)) — The number of failed attempts to complete the task.
- `last_exception` ([String](/docs/sql-reference/data-types/string)) — Text message about the last error that occurred (if any).
- `last_attempt_time` ([DateTime](/docs/sql-reference/data-types/datetime)) — Date and time when the task was last attempted.
- `num_postponed` ([UInt32](/docs/sql-reference/data-types/int-uint)) — The number of times the action was postponed.
- `postpone_reason` ([String](/docs/sql-reference/data-types/string)) — The reason why the task was postponed.
- `last_postpone_time` ([DateTime](/docs/sql-reference/data-types/datetime)) — Date and time when the task was last postponed.
- `merge_type` ([String](/docs/sql-reference/data-types/string)) — Type of the current merge. Empty if it's a mutation.
