By the way, that's a pretty big file, you might want to look into that.

[ClickHouse-master/]
-rw-r--r--@ 1 owner  staff  14740550  5  5 06:00
./tests/queries/0_stateless/data_json/ghdata_sample.json
-rw-r--r--@ 1 owner  staff   4914595  5  5 06:00
./tests/queries/0_stateless/data_json/nbagames_sample.json

To exclude json files from processing:
[gtags.conf]
