<p>Data retention rules allow you to configure Apache Druid to conform to your data retention policies. Your data retention policies specify which data to retain and which data to drop from the cluster.</p>
<p>Druid supports <a href="#load-rules">load</a>, <a href="#drop-rules">drop</a>, and <a href="#broadcast-rules">broadcast</a> rules. Each rule is a JSON object. See the <a href="#load-rules">rule definitions below</a> for details.</p>
<p>You can configure a default set of rules to apply to all datasources, and/or you can set specific rules for specific datasources. See <a href="#rule-structure">rule structure</a> to see how rule order impacts the way the Coordinator applies retention rules.</p>
<p>You can specify the data to retain or drop in the following ways:</p>
<ul>
<li>Forever: all data in the segment.</li>
<li>Period: segment data specified as an offset from the present time.</li>
<li>Interval: a fixed time range.</li>
</ul>
<p>Retention rules are persistent: they remain in effect until you change them. Druid stores retention rules in its <a href="/docs/26.0.0/dependencies/metadata-storage.html">metadata store</a>.</p>

<p>To set retention rules in the Druid web console:</p>
<ol>
<li>On the console home page, click <strong>Datasources</strong>.</li>
<li>Click the name of your datasource to open the data window.</li>
<li>Select <strong>Actions &gt; Edit retention rules</strong>.</li>
<li>Click <strong>+New rule</strong>.</li>
<li>Select a rule type and set properties for the rule.</li>
<li>Click <strong>Next</strong> and enter a description for the rule.</li>
<li>Click <strong>Save</strong> to save and apply the rule to the datasource.</li>

<p>To set one or more default retention rules for all datasources, send a POST request containing a JSON object for each rule to <code>/druid/coordinator/v1/rules/_default</code>.</p>
<p>The following example request sets a default forever broadcast rule for all datasources:</p>
<pre><code class="hljs css language-bash">curl --location --request POST <span class="hljs-string">'http://localhost:8888/druid/coordinator/v1/rules/_default'</span> \
--header <span class="hljs-string">'Content-Type: application/json'</span> \
--data-raw <span class="hljs-string">'[{
"type": "broadcastForever"
}]'</span>
</code></pre>
<p>To set one or more retention rules for a specific datasource, send a POST request containing a JSON object for each rule to <code>/druid/coordinator/v1/rules/{datasourceName}</code>.</p>
<p>The following example request sets a period drop rule and a period broadcast rule for the <code>wikipedia</code> datasource:</p>
<pre><code class="hljs css language-bash">curl --location --request POST <span class="hljs-string">'http://localhost:8888/druid/coordinator/v1/rules/wikipedia'</span> \
--header <span class="hljs-string">'Content-Type: application/json'</span> \
--data-raw <span class="hljs-string">'[{

"period": "P1M",
"includeFuture": true
},
{
"type": "broadcastByPeriod",
"period": "P1M",
"includeFuture": true
}]'</span>
</code></pre>
<p>To retrieve all rules for all datasources, send a GET request to <code>/druid/coordinator/v1/rules</code>β€”for example:</p>
<pre><code class="hljs css language-bash">curl --location --request GET <span class="hljs-string">'http://localhost:8888/druid/coordinator/v1/rules'</span>

<p>The rules API accepts an array of rules as JSON objects. The JSON object you send in the API request for each rule is specific to the rules types outlined below.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>You must pass the entire array of rules, in your desired order, with each API request. Each POST request to the rules API overwrites the existing rules for the specified datasource.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>The order of rules is very important. The Coordinator reads rules in the order in which they appear in the rules list. For example, in the following screenshot the Coordinator evaluates data against rule 1, then rule 2, then rule 3:</p>
<p><img src="../assets/retention-rules.png" alt="retention rules"></p>
<p>The Coordinator cycles through all used segments and matches each segment with the first rule that applies. Each segment can only match a single rule.</p>
<p>In the web console you can use the up and down arrows on the right side of the interface to change the order of the rules.</p>

<p>Load rules define how Druid assigns segments to <a href="/docs/26.0.0/operations/mixed-workloads.html#historical-tiering">historical process tiers</a>, and how many replicas of a segment exist in each tier.</p>
<p>If you have a single tier, Druid automatically names the tier <code>_default</code> and loads all segments onto it. If you define an additional tier, you must define a load rule to specify which segments to load on that tier. Until you define a load rule, your new tier remains empty.</p>

<p>Set the following properties:</p>
<ul>
<li><p><code>period</code>: a JSON object representing <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601">ISO-8601</a> periods. The period is from some time in the past to the future or to the current time, depending on the <code>includeFuture</code> flag.</p></li>
<li><p><code>includeFuture</code>: a boolean flag to instruct Druid to match a segment if one of the following conditions apply:</p>
<ul>
<li>the segment interval overlaps the rule interval</li>
<li>the segment interval starts any time after the rule interval starts.</li>
</ul>
<p>You can use this property to broadcast segments with future start and end dates, where &quot;future&quot; is relative to the time when the Coordinator evaluates data against the rule. Defaults to <code>true</code>.</p></li>

<p>An interval broadcast rule loads a specific range of data onto the brokers in the cluster.</p>
<p>Interval broadcast rules have type <code>broadcastByInterval</code> and the following JSON structure:</p>

<p>Set the following property:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>interval</code>: the broadcast interval specified as an ISO-8601 <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601">ISO-8601</a> range encoded as a string.</li>

<p>Druid can fully drop data from the cluster, wipe the metadata store entry, and remove the data from deep storage for any segments marked <code>unused</code>. Note that Druid always marks segments dropped from the cluster by rules as <code>unused</code>. You can submit a <a href="/docs/26.0.0/ingestion/tasks.html">kill task</a> to the <a href="/docs/26.0.0/design/overlord.html">Overlord</a> to do this.</p>

<p>You can't use a single rule to reload data Druid has dropped from a cluster.</p>
<p>To reload dropped data:</p>
<ol>
<li>Set your retention periodβ€”for example, change the retention period from one month to two months.</li>
<li>Use the web console or the API to mark all segments belonging to the datasource as <code>used</code>.</li>
</ol>
