+# Arc ClickBench - Changelog
+
+## 2025-10-07 - Fixed for ClickBench Submission
+
+### Issues Reported by ClickBench Maintainers
+
+1. **`--break-system-packages` Required**
+   - Problem: Script used `pip3 install` globally, requiring `--break-system-packages` on modern Python
+   - Fix: Created Python virtual environment (`python3 -m venv arc-venv`)
+   - Result: All dependencies installed in isolated venv, no system modification
+
+2. **`ImportError: cannot import name 'Permission'`**
+   - Problem: Script tried to import `Permission` from `api.auth`, which doesn't exist
+   - Fix: Removed `Permission` import, use simple `auth.create_token(name, description)`
+   - Result: Token creation works with Arc's actual auth API
+
+### Changes Made
+
+#### `benchmark.sh`
+- ✅ Added Python venv creation and activation
+- ✅ Fixed auth token creation (removed `Permission` import)
+- ✅ Auto-detect CPU cores for optimal worker count
+- ✅ Better error handling (30s timeout with logs on failure)
+- ✅ Proper cleanup (stop Arc, deactivate venv)
+- ✅ Following chdb/benchmark.sh pattern
+
+#### `README.md`
+- ✅ Added complete setup instructions
+- ✅ Documented virtual environment approach
+- ✅ Manual steps for debugging
+- ✅ Architecture and performance notes
+
+#### `run.sh`
+- ✅ Already working correctly

+```
+
+### Performance
+
+Tested on M3 Max (14 cores, 36GB RAM):
+- **Total time:** ~22 seconds (43 queries)
+- **Workers:** 28 (2x cores, optimal for analytical queries)
+- **Query cache:** Disabled (per ClickBench rules)
+
+### Notes for ClickBench Maintainers
+
+1. **No system modification:** All dependencies in venv
+2. **Simple auth:** No complex permission system, just token creation
+3. **Auto-scaling:** Detects CPU cores and sets optimal workers
+4. **Error handling:** Clear error messages with logs
+5. **Standard format:** Follows chdb pattern (venv, wget, etc.)
+
+### Future Improvements
+
+- [ ] Add MinIO for object storage benchmark variant
+- [ ] Test on different CPU architectures (ARM, x86)
+- [ ] Add memory usage monitoring
+- [ ] Optimize for larger datasets (100M+ rows)

+# Arc - ClickBench Benchmark
+
+Arc is a high-performance time-series data warehouse built on DuckDB, Parquet, and object storage.
+
+## System Information
+
+- **System:** Arc
+- **Date:** 2025-10-07
+- **Machine:** m3_max (14 cores, 36GB RAM)
+- **Tags:** Python, time-series, DuckDB, Parquet, columnar, HTTP API
+- **License:** AGPL-3.0
+- **Repository:** https://github.com/Basekick-Labs/arc
+
+## Performance
+
+Arc achieves:
+- **Write throughput:** 1.89M records/sec (MessagePack binary protocol)
+- **ClickBench:** ~22 seconds total (43 analytical queries)
+- **Storage:** DuckDB + Parquet with MinIO/S3/GCS backends
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Ubuntu/Debian Linux (or compatible)
+- Python 3.11+
+- 8GB+ RAM recommended
+- Internet connection for dataset download
+
+## Quick Start
+
+The benchmark script handles everything automatically:
+
+```bash
+./benchmark.sh
+```
+
+This will:
+1. Create Python virtual environment (no system packages modified)
+2. Clone Arc repository
+3. Install dependencies in venv
+4. Start Arc server with optimal worker count (2x CPU cores)
+5. Download ClickBench dataset (14GB parquet file)
+6. Run 43 queries × 3 iterations
+7. Output results in ClickBench JSON format
+
+## Manual Steps
+
+### 1. Install Dependencies
+
+```bash
+sudo apt-get update -y
+sudo apt-get install -y python3-pip python3-venv wget curl
+```
+
+### 2. Create Virtual Environment
+
+```bash
+python3 -m venv arc-venv
+source arc-venv/bin/activate
+```
+
+### 3. Clone and Setup Arc
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/Basekick-Labs/arc.git
+cd arc
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+mkdir -p data logs
+```
+
+### 4. Create API Token
+
+```bash
+python3 << 'EOF'
+from api.auth import AuthManager
+
+auth = AuthManager(db_path='./data/historian.db')
+token = auth.create_token(name='clickbench', description='ClickBench benchmark')
+print(f"Token: {token}")
+EOF
+```
+
+### 5. Start Arc Server
+
+```bash
+# Auto-detect cores
+CORES=$(nproc)
+WORKERS=$((CORES * 2))
+
+# Start server
+gunicorn -w $WORKERS -b 0.0.0.0:8000 \
+    -k uvicorn.workers.UvicornWorker \
+    --timeout 300 \
+    api.main:app
+```
+
+### 6. Download Dataset
+
+```bash
+wget https://datasets.clickhouse.com/hits_compatible/hits.parquet
+```
+
+### 7. Run Benchmark
+
+```bash
+export ARC_URL="http://localhost:8000"
+export ARC_API_KEY="your-token-from-step-4"
+export PARQUET_FILE="/path/to/hits.parquet"
+
+./run.sh
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+Arc uses optimal settings for ClickBench:
+
+- **Workers:** 2x CPU cores (balanced for analytical queries)
+- **Query cache:** Disabled (per ClickBench rules)
+- **Storage:** Local filesystem (fastest for single-node)
+- **Timeout:** 300 seconds per query
+
+## Results Format
+
+Results are output in ClickBench JSON format:
+
+```json
+[
+  [0.0226, 0.0233, 0.0284],
+  [0.0324, 0.0334, 0.0392],
+  ...
+]
+```
+
+Each array contains 3 execution times (in seconds) for the same query.
+
+## Notes
+
+- **Virtual Environment:** All dependencies installed in isolated venv (no `--break-system-packages` needed)
+- **Authentication:** Uses Arc's built-in token auth (simpler than Permission-based auth)
+- **Query Cache:** Disabled to ensure fair benchmark (no cache hits)
+- **Worker Count:** Auto-detected based on CPU cores, optimized for analytical workloads
+- **Timeout:** Generous 300s timeout for complex queries
+
+## Architecture
+
+```
+ClickBench Query → Arc HTTP API → DuckDB → Parquet File → Results
+```
+
+Arc queries the Parquet file directly via DuckDB's `read_parquet()` function, providing excellent analytical performance without data import.
+
+## Performance Characteristics
+
+Arc is optimized for:
+- **High-throughput writes** (1.89M RPS with MessagePack)
+- **Analytical queries** (DuckDB's columnar engine)
+- **Object storage** (S3, GCS, MinIO compatibility)
+- **Time-series workloads** (built-in time-based indexing)
