|  | <h1 id="developing-on-apache-druid-incubating">Developing on Apache Druid (incubating)</h1> | 
|  |  | 
|  | <p>Druid's codebase consists of several major components. For developers interested in learning the code, this document provides | 
|  | a high level overview of the main components that make up Druid and the relevant classes to start from to learn the code.</p> | 
|  |  | 
|  | <h2 id="storage-format">Storage Format</h2> | 
|  |  | 
|  | <p>Data in Druid is stored in a custom column format known as a <a href="../design/segments.html">segment</a>. Segments are composed of | 
|  | different types of columns. <code>Column.java</code> and the classes that extend it is a great place to looking into the storage format.</p> | 
|  |  | 
|  | <h2 id="segment-creation">Segment Creation</h2> | 
|  |  | 
|  | <p>Raw data is ingested in <code>IncrementalIndex.java</code>, and segments are created in <code>IndexMerger.java</code>.</p> | 
|  |  | 
|  | <h2 id="storage-engine">Storage Engine</h2> | 
|  |  | 
|  | <p>Druid segments are memory mapped in <code>IndexIO.java</code> to be exposed for querying.</p> | 
|  |  | 
|  | <h2 id="query-engine">Query Engine</h2> | 
|  |  | 
|  | <p>Most of the logic related to Druid queries can be found in the Query* classes. Druid leverages query runners to run queries. | 
|  | Query runners often embed other query runners and each query runner adds on a layer of logic. A good starting point to trace | 
|  | the query logic is to start from <code>QueryResource.java</code>.</p> | 
|  |  | 
|  | <h2 id="coordination">Coordination</h2> | 
|  |  | 
|  | <p>Most of the coordination logic for Historical processes is on the Druid Coordinator. The starting point here is <code>DruidCoordinator.java</code>.<br> | 
|  | Most of the coordination logic for (real-time) ingestion is in the Druid indexing service. The starting point here is <code>OverlordResource.java</code>.</p> | 
|  |  | 
|  | <h2 id="real-time-ingestion">Real-time Ingestion</h2> | 
|  |  | 
|  | <p>Druid loads data through <code>FirehoseFactory.java</code> classes. Firehoses often wrap other firehoses, where, similar to the design of the<br> | 
|  | query runners, each firehose adds a layer of logic. Much of the core management logic is in <code>RealtimeManager.java</code> and the | 
|  | persist and hand-off logic is in <code>RealtimePlumber.java</code>.</p> | 
|  |  | 
|  | <h2 id="hadoop-based-batch-ingestion">Hadoop-based Batch Ingestion</h2> | 
|  |  | 
|  | <p>The two main Hadoop indexing classes are <code>HadoopDruidDetermineConfigurationJob.java</code> for the job to determine how many Druid | 
|  | segments to create, and <code>HadoopDruidIndexerJob.java</code>, which creates Druid segments.</p> | 
|  |  | 
|  | <p>At some point in the future, we may move the Hadoop ingestion code out of core Druid.</p> | 
|  |  | 
|  | <h2 id="internal-uis">Internal UIs</h2> | 
|  |  | 
|  | <p>Druid currently has two internal UIs. One is for the Coordinator and one is for the Overlord.</p> | 
|  |  | 
|  | <p>At some point in the future, we will likely move the internal UI code out of core Druid.</p> | 
|  |  | 
|  | <h2 id="client-libraries">Client Libraries</h2> | 
|  |  | 
|  | <p>We welcome contributions for new client libraries to interact with Druid. See client | 
|  | <a href="/libraries.html">libraries</a> for existing client libraries.</p> |
