+# clickhouse-0002: ReplaceColumnTransformerNode::findReplacementExpression O(C×R) linear scan
+
+## Severity
+MEDIUM
+
+## Location
+`src/Analyzer/ColumnTransformers.cpp:272-280` — `findReplacementExpression`
+`src/Analyzer/ColumnTransformers.h:306` — `Names replacements_names` member
+
+## Pattern
+SLOW: `std::find(replacements_names.begin(), replacements_names.end(), expression_name)` — O(R) per call
+FAST: `std::unordered_map<std::string, size_t> replacements_index` — O(1) per call
+
+## Context
+
+`ReplaceColumnTransformerNode` is used for `SELECT * REPLACE (expr AS col1, expr AS col2, ...)` queries.
+The `replacements_names` member is `Names = std::vector<std::string>` that stores all replacement column names.
+
+`findReplacementExpression(expression_name)` is called from `QueryAnalyzer::resolveMatcherNode` for every
+column that matches the `*` wildcard — i.e., for every column in the table or subquery.
+
+The call structure is:
+```
+for each matched column (C columns in SELECT *):           O(C)
+  for each transformer (1 per REPLACE clause):
+    findReplacementExpression(column_name)                 O(R)  ← linear scan
+```
+
+Total: O(C × R), where:
+- C = number of columns in the table/subquery (can be 100+ for wide tables)
+- R = number of replacement expressions in the REPLACE clause
+
+The constructor already builds `replacement_names_set` (an `unordered_set`) for validation, then
+discards it. That same set (or a map) should be retained for O(1) lookups.
+
+## Affected code
+
+```cpp
+// ColumnTransformers.h
+Names replacements_names;  // std::vector<std::string> — O(R) linear scan
+
+// ColumnTransformers.cpp
+QueryTreeNodePtr ReplaceColumnTransformerNode::findReplacementExpression(const std::string & expression_name)
+{
+    auto it = std::find(replacements_names.begin(), replacements_names.end(), expression_name);
+    if (it == replacements_names.end())
+        return {};
+    size_t replacement_index = it - replacements_names.begin();
+    auto & replacement_expressions_nodes = getReplacements().getNodes();
+    return replacement_expressions_nodes[replacement_index];
+}
+```
+
+## Speedup
+100× at C=100 selected columns, R=10 replacements (wide-table analytics)
