If you have really wide table with many thousands of columns and you want to drop / modify column.
For wide parts it working fine, but for compact clickhouse would try to allocate a lot of memory and going to be killed via OOM killer.



**Does it reproduce on recent release?**

Yes, 21.9

**How to reproduce**
```
clickhouse-client -mn --query="SELECT 'CREATE TABLE xxx_really_wide( ' || arrayStringConcat(groupArray('column_'|| toString(number) || ' Nullable(UInt32)'), ',') || ') ENGINE=MergeTree ORDER BY assumeNotNull(column_0)' FROM numbers(6000) FORMAT TSVRaw" | clickhouse-client -mn

clickhouse-client -mn --query="SELECT arrayStringConcat(replicate('1', range(6000)), ',') FROM numbers(300) FORMAT TSVRaw" | clickhouse-client -mn --query "INSERT INTO xxx_really_wide FORMAT CSV " --send_logs_level='trace'
```

```
SELECT *
FROM system.merges
FORMAT Vertical
