This page documents all of the configuration properties for each Druid service type.
A recommended way of organizing Druid configuration files can be seen in the conf directory in the Druid package root, shown below:
$ ls -R conf druid tranquility conf/druid: _common broker coordinator historical middleManager overlord conf/druid/_common: common.runtime.properties log4j2.xml conf/druid/broker: jvm.config runtime.properties conf/druid/coordinator: jvm.config runtime.properties conf/druid/historical: jvm.config runtime.properties conf/druid/middleManager: jvm.config runtime.properties conf/druid/overlord: jvm.config runtime.properties conf/tranquility: kafka.json server.json
Each directory has a runtime.properties file containing configuration properties for the specific Druid process correponding to the directory (e.g., historical).
The jvm.config files contain JVM flags such as heap sizing properties for each service.
Common properties shared by all services are placed in _common/common.runtime.properties.
The properties under this section are common configurations that should be shared across all Druid services in a cluster.
There are four JVM parameters that we set on all of our processes:
-Duser.timezone=UTC This sets the default timezone of the JVM to UTC. We always set this and do not test with other default timezones, so local timezones might work, but they also might uncover weird and interesting bugs. To issue queries in a non-UTC timezone, see query granularities-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 This is similar to timezone, we test assuming UTF-8. Local encodings might work, but they also might result in weird and interesting bugs.-Djava.io.tmpdir=<a path> Various parts of the system that interact with the file system do it via temporary files, and these files can get somewhat large. Many production systems are set up to have small (but fast) /tmp directories, which can be problematic with Druid so we recommend pointing the JVM’s tmp directory to something with a little more meat.-Djava.util.logging.manager=org.apache.logging.log4j.jul.LogManager This allows log4j2 to handle logs for non-log4j2 components (like jetty) which use standard java logging.Many of Druid's external dependencies can be plugged in as modules. Extensions can be provided using the following configs:
| Property | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
druid.extensions.directory | The root extension directory where user can put extensions related files. Druid will load extensions stored under this directory. | extensions (This is a relative path to Druid's working directory) |
druid.extensions.hadoopDependenciesDir | The root hadoop dependencies directory where user can put hadoop related dependencies files. Druid will load the dependencies based on the hadoop coordinate specified in the hadoop index task. | hadoop-dependencies (This is a relative path to Druid's working directory |
druid.extensions.loadList | A JSON array of extensions to load from extension directories by Druid. If it is not specified, its value will be null and Druid will load all the extensions under druid.extensions.directory. If its value is empty list [], then no extensions will be loaded at all. It is also allowed to specify absolute path of other custom extensions not stored in the common extensions directory. | null |
druid.extensions.searchCurrentClassloader | This is a boolean flag that determines if Druid will search the main classloader for extensions. It defaults to true but can be turned off if you have reason to not automatically add all modules on the classpath. | true |
druid.extensions.useExtensionClassloaderFirst | This is a boolean flag that determines if Druid extensions should prefer loading classes from their own jars rather than jars bundled with Druid. If false, extensions must be compatible with classes provided by any jars bundled with Druid. If true, extensions may depend on conflicting versions. | false |
druid.extensions.hadoopContainerDruidClasspath | Hadoop Indexing launches hadoop jobs and this configuration provides way to explicitly set the user classpath for the hadoop job. By default this is computed automatically by druid based on the druid process classpath and set of extensions. However, sometimes you might want to be explicit to resolve dependency conflicts between druid and hadoop. | null |
druid.extensions.addExtensionsToHadoopContainer | Only applicable if druid.extensions.hadoopContainerDruidClasspath is provided. If set to true, then extensions specified in the loadList are added to hadoop container classpath. Note that when druid.extensions.hadoopContainerDruidClasspath is not provided then extensions are always added to hadoop container classpath. | false |
| Property | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
druid.modules.excludeList | A JSON array of canonical class names (e. g. "org.apache.druid.somepackage.SomeModule") of module classes which shouldn‘t be loaded, even if they are found in extensions specified by druid.extensions.loadList, or in the list of core modules specified to be loaded on a particular Druid process type. Useful when some useful extension contains some module, which shouldn’t be loaded on some Druid process type because some dependencies of that module couldn't be satisfied. | [] |
We recommend just setting the base ZK path and the ZK service host, but all ZK paths that Druid uses can be overwritten to absolute paths.

The indexing service also uses its own set of paths. These configs can be included in the common configuration.
| Property | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
druid.zk.paths.indexer.base | Base zookeeper path for | ${druid.zk.paths.base}/indexer |
druid.zk.paths.indexer.announcementsPath | Middle managers announce themselves here. | ${druid.zk.paths.indexer.base}/announcements |

If druid.zk.paths.base and druid.zk.paths.indexer.base are both set, and none of the other druid.zk.paths.* or druid.zk.paths.indexer.* values are set, then the other properties will be evaluated relative to their respective base. For example, if druid.zk.paths.base is set to /druid1 and druid.zk.paths.indexer.base is set to /druid2 then druid.zk.paths.announcementsPath will default to /druid1/announcements while druid.zk.paths.indexer.announcementsPath will default to /druid2/announcements.
The following path is used for service discovery. It is not affected by druid.zk.paths.base and must be specified separately.
| Property | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
druid.discovery.curator.path | Services announce themselves under this ZooKeeper path. | /druid/discovery |
Exhibitor is a supervisor system for ZooKeeper. Exhibitor can dynamically scale-up/down the cluster of ZooKeeper servers.

| Property | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
druid.enablePlaintextPort | Enable/Disable HTTP connector. | true |
druid.enableTlsPort | Enable/Disable HTTPS connector. | false |
Although not recommended but both HTTP and HTTPS connectors can be enabled at a time and respective ports are configurable using druid.plaintextPort and druid.tlsPort properties on each process. Please see Configuration section of individual processes to check the valid and default values for these ports.

The Druid servers emit various metrics and alerts via something we call an Emitter. There are three emitter implementations included with the code, a “noop” emitter, one that just logs to log4j (“logging”, which is used by default if no emitter is specified) and one that does POSTs of JSON events to a server (“http”). The properties for using the logging emitter are described below.
| Property | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
druid.emitter | Setting this value to “noop”, “logging”, “http” or “parametrized” will initialize one of the emitter modules. value “composing” can be used to initialize multiple emitter modules. | noop |

druid.emitter.http.minHttpTimeoutMillis | If the speed of filling batches imposes timeout smaller than that, not even trying to send batch to endpoint, because it will likely fail, not being able to send the data that fast. Configure this depending based on emitter/successfulSending/minTimeMs metric. Reasonable values are 10ms..100ms. | 0 |
druid.emitter.http.recipientBaseUrl | The base URL to emit messages to. Druid will POST JSON to be consumed at the HTTP endpoint specified by this property. | none, required config |
When emitting events to a TLS-enabled receiver, the Http Emitter will by default use an SSLContext obtained via the process described at Druid's internal communication over TLS, i.e., the same SSLContext that would be used for internal communications between Druid processes.
In some use cases it may be desirable to have the Http Emitter use its own separate truststore configuration. For example, there may be organizational policies that prevent the TLS-enabled metrics receiver‘s certificate from being added to the same truststore used by Druid’s internal HTTP client.
The following properties allow the Http Emitter to use its own truststore configuration when building its SSLContext.
| Property | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
druid.emitter.http.ssl.useDefaultJavaContext | If set to true, the HttpEmitter will use SSLContext.getDefault(), the default Java SSLContext, and all other properties below are ignored. | false |
druid.emitter.http.ssl.trustStorePath | The file path or URL of the TLS/SSL Key store where trusted root certificates are stored. If this is unspecified, the Http Emitter will use the same SSLContext as Druid's internal HTTP client, as described in the beginning of this section, and all other properties below are ignored. | null |
druid.emitter.http.ssl.trustStoreType | The type of the key store where trusted root certificates are stored. | java.security.KeyStore.getDefaultType() |

This config is used to find the Overlord using Curator service discovery. Only required if you are actually running an Overlord.
| Property | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
druid.selectors.indexing.serviceName | The druid.service name of the Overlord process. To start the Overlord with a different name, set it with this property. | druid/overlord |
This config is used to find the Coordinator using Curator service discovery. This config is used by the realtime indexing processes to get information about the segments loaded in the cluster.
| Property | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
druid.selectors.coordinator.serviceName | The druid.service name of the Coordinator process. To start the Coordinator with a different name, set it with this property. | druid/coordinator |
You can configure how to announce and unannounce Znodes in ZooKeeper (using Curator). For normal operations you do not need to override any of these configs.
In current Druid, multiple data segments may be announced under the same Znode.
| Property | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
druid.announcer.segmentsPerNode | Each Znode contains info for up to this many segments. | 50 |
druid.announcer.maxBytesPerNode | Max byte size for Znode. | 524288 |
druid.announcer.skipDimensionsAndMetrics | Skip Dimensions and Metrics list from segment announcements. NOTE: Enabling this will also remove the dimensions and metrics list from Coordinator and Broker endpoints. | false |
druid.announcer.skipLoadSpec | Skip segment LoadSpec from segment announcements. NOTE: Enabling this will also remove the loadspec from Coordinator and Broker endpoints. | false |
Druid supports dynamic runtime extension through JavaScript functions. This functionality can be configured through the following properties.
| Property | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
druid.javascript.enabled | Set to “true” to enable JavaScript functionality. This affects the JavaScript parser, filter, extractionFn, aggregator, post-aggregator, router strategy, and worker selection strategy. | false |
Prior to version 0.13.0 Druid's storage layer used a 32-bit float representation to store columns created by the doubleSum, doubleMin, and doubleMax aggregators at indexing time. Starting from version 0.13.0 the default will be 64-bit floats for Double columns. Using 64-bit representation for double column will lead to avoid precesion loss at the cost of doubling the storage size of such columns. To keep the old format set the system-wide property druid.indexing.doubleStorage=float. You can also use floatSum, floatMin and floatMax to use 32-bit float representation. Support for 64-bit floating point columns was released in Druid 0.11.0, so if you use this feature then older versions of Druid will not be able to read your data segments.
| Property | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
druid.indexing.doubleStorage | Set to “float” to use 32-bit double representation for double columns. | double |
This section contains the configuration options for the processes that reside on Master servers (Coordinators and Overlords) in the suggested three-server configuration.
For general Coordinator Process information, see here.
These Coordinator static configurations can be defined in the coordinator/runtime.properties file.
| Property | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
druid.host | The host for the current process. This is used to advertise the current processes location as reachable from another process and should generally be specified such that http://${druid.host}/ could actually talk to this process | InetAddress.getLocalHost().getCanonicalHostName() |
druid.bindOnHost | Indicating whether the process's internal jetty server bind on druid.host. Default is false, which means binding to all interfaces. | false |
druid.plaintextPort | This is the port to actually listen on; unless port mapping is used, this will be the same port as is on druid.host | 8081 |
druid.tlsPort | TLS port for HTTPS connector, if druid.enableTlsPort is set then this config will be used. If druid.host contains port then that port will be ignored. This should be a non-negative Integer. | 8281 |
druid.service | The name of the service. This is used as a dimension when emitting metrics and alerts to differentiate between the various services | druid/coordinator |
| Property | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
druid.coordinator.period | The run period for the Coordinator. The Coordinator’s operates by maintaining the current state of the world in memory and periodically looking at the set of segments available and segments being served to make decisions about whether any changes need to be made to the data topology. This property sets the delay between each of these runs. | PT60S |
druid.coordinator.period.indexingPeriod | How often to send compact/merge/conversion tasks to the indexing service. It's recommended to be longer than druid.manager.segments.pollDuration | PT1800S (30 mins) |
druid.coordinator.startDelay | The operation of the Coordinator works on the assumption that it has an up-to-date view of the state of the world when it runs, the current ZK interaction code, however, is written in a way that doesn’t allow the Coordinator to know for a fact that it’s done loading the current state of the world. This delay is a hack to give it enough time to believe that it has all the data. | PT300S |
druid.coordinator.merge.on | Boolean flag for whether or not the Coordinator should try and merge small segments into a more optimal segment size. | false |
druid.coordinator.load.timeout | The timeout duration for when the Coordinator assigns a segment to a Historical process. | PT15M |
druid.coordinator.kill.pendingSegments.on | Boolean flag for whether or not the Coordinator clean up old entries in the pendingSegments table of metadata store. If set to true, Coordinator will check the created time of most recently complete task. If it doesn't exist, it finds the created time of the earlist running/pending/waiting tasks. Once the created time is found, then for all dataSources not in the killPendingSegmentsSkipList (see Dynamic configuration), Coordinator will ask the Overlord to clean up the entries 1 day or more older than the found created time in the pendingSegments table. This will be done periodically based on druid.coordinator.period specified. | false |
druid.coordinator.kill.on | Boolean flag for whether or not the Coordinator should submit kill task for unused segments, that is, hard delete them from metadata store and deep storage. If set to true, then for all whitelisted dataSources (or optionally all), Coordinator will submit tasks periodically based on period specified. These kill tasks will delete all segments except for the last durationToRetain period. Whitelist or All can be set via dynamic configuration killAllDataSources and killDataSourceWhitelist described later. | false |
druid.coordinator.kill.period | How often to send kill tasks to the indexing service. Value must be greater than druid.coordinator.period.indexingPeriod. Only applies if kill is turned on. | P1D (1 Day) |
druid.coordinator.kill.durationToRetain | Do not kill segments in last durationToRetain, must be greater or equal to 0. Only applies and MUST be specified if kill is turned on. Note that default value is invalid. | PT-1S (-1 seconds) |
druid.coordinator.kill.maxSegments | Kill at most n segments per kill task submission, must be greater than 0. Only applies and MUST be specified if kill is turned on. Note that default value is invalid. | 0 |
druid.coordinator.balancer.strategy | Specify the type of balancing strategy that the Coordinator should use to distribute segments among the Historicals. cachingCost is logically equivalent to cost but is more CPU-efficient on large clusters and will replace cost in the future versions, users are invited to try it. Use diskNormalized to distribute segments among Historical processes so that the disks fill up uniformly and use random to randomly pick nodes to distribute segments. | cost |
druid.coordinator.loadqueuepeon.repeatDelay | The start and repeat delay for the loadqueuepeon , which manages the load and drop of segments. | PT0.050S (50 ms) |
druid.coordinator.asOverlord.enabled | Boolean value for whether this Coordinator process should act like an Overlord as well. This configuration allows users to simplify a druid cluster by not having to deploy any standalone Overlord processes. If set to true, then Overlord console is available at http://coordinator-host:port/console.html and be sure to set druid.coordinator.asOverlord.overlordService also. See next. | false |
druid.coordinator.asOverlord.overlordService | Required, if druid.coordinator.asOverlord.enabled is true. This must be same value as druid.service on standalone Overlord processes and druid.selectors.indexing.serviceName on Middle Managers. | NULL |
| Property | Possible Values | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
druid.serverview.type | batch or http | Segment discovery method to use. “http” enables discovering segments using HTTP instead of zookeeper. | batch |
druid.coordinator.loadqueuepeon.type | curator or http | Whether to use “http” or “curator” implementation to assign segment loads/drops to Historical | curator |
| Property | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
druid.coordinator.loadqueuepeon.http.batchSize | Number of segment load/drop requests to batch in one HTTP request. Note that it must be smaller than druid.segmentCache.numLoadingThreads config on Historical process. | 1 |
| Property | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
druid.manager.config.pollDuration | How often the manager polls the config table for updates. | PT1M |
druid.manager.segments.pollDuration | The duration between polls the Coordinator does for updates to the set of active segments. Generally defines the amount of lag time it can take for the Coordinator to notice new segments. | PT1M |
druid.manager.rules.pollDuration | The duration between polls the Coordinator does for updates to the set of active rules. Generally defines the amount of lag time it can take for the Coordinator to notice rules. | PT1M |
druid.manager.rules.defaultTier | The default tier from which default rules will be loaded from. | _default |
druid.manager.rules.alertThreshold | The duration after a failed poll upon which an alert should be emitted. | PT10M |
The Coordinator has dynamic configuration to change certain behaviour on the fly. The Coordinator uses a JSON spec object from the Druid metadata storage config table. This object is detailed below:
It is recommended that you use the Coordinator Console to configure these parameters. However, if you need to do it via HTTP, the JSON object can be submitted to the Coordinator via a POST request at:
http://<COORDINATOR_IP>:<PORT>/druid/coordinator/v1/config
Optional Header Parameters for auditing the config change can also be specified.
| Header Param Name | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
X-Druid-Author | author making the config change | "" |
X-Druid-Comment | comment describing the change being done | "" |
A sample Coordinator dynamic config JSON object is shown below:
{ "millisToWaitBeforeDeleting": 900000, "mergeBytesLimit": 100000000, "mergeSegmentsLimit" : 1000, "maxSegmentsToMove": 5, "replicantLifetime": 15, "replicationThrottleLimit": 10, "emitBalancingStats": false, "killDataSourceWhitelist": ["wikipedia", "testDatasource"], "decommissioningNodes": ["localhost:8182", "localhost:8282"], "decommissioningMaxPercentOfMaxSegmentsToMove": 70 }
Issuing a GET request at the same URL will return the spec that is currently in place. A description of the config setup spec is shown below.
| Property | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
millisToWaitBeforeDeleting | How long does the Coordinator need to be active before it can start removing (marking unused) segments in metadata storage. | 900000 (15 mins) |
mergeBytesLimit | The maximum total uncompressed size in bytes of segments to merge. | 524288000L |
mergeSegmentsLimit | The maximum number of segments that can be in a single append task. | 100 |
maxSegmentsToMove | The maximum number of segments that can be moved at any given time. | 5 |
replicantLifetime | The maximum number of Coordinator runs for a segment to be replicated before we start alerting. | 15 |
replicationThrottleLimit | The maximum number of segments that can be replicated at one time. | 10 |
balancerComputeThreads | Thread pool size for computing moving cost of segments in segment balancing. Consider increasing this if you have a lot of segments and moving segments starts to get stuck. | 1 |
emitBalancingStats | Boolean flag for whether or not we should emit balancing stats. This is an expensive operation. | false |
killDataSourceWhitelist | List of dataSources for which kill tasks are sent if property druid.coordinator.kill.on is true. This can be a list of comma-separated dataSources or a JSON array. | none |
killAllDataSources | Send kill tasks for ALL dataSources if property druid.coordinator.kill.on is true. If this is set to true then killDataSourceWhitelist must not be specified or be empty list. | false |
killPendingSegmentsSkipList | List of dataSources for which pendingSegments are NOT cleaned up if property druid.coordinator.kill.pendingSegments.on is true. This can be a list of comma-separated dataSources or a JSON array. | none |
maxSegmentsInNodeLoadingQueue | The maximum number of segments that could be queued for loading to any given server. This parameter could be used to speed up segments loading process, especially if there are “slow” nodes in the cluster (with low loading speed) or if too much segments scheduled to be replicated to some particular node (faster loading could be preferred to better segments distribution). Desired value depends on segments loading speed, acceptable replication time and number of nodes. Value 1000 could be a start point for a rather big cluster. Default value is 0 (loading queue is unbounded) | 0 |
decommissioningNodes | List of historical servers to ‘decommission’. Coordinator will not assign new segments to ‘decommissioning’ servers, and segments will be moved away from them to be placed on non-decommissioning servers at the maximum rate specified by decommissioningMaxPercentOfMaxSegmentsToMove. | none |
decommissioningMaxPercentOfMaxSegmentsToMove | The maximum number of segments that may be moved away from ‘decommissioning’ servers to non-decommissioning (that is, active) servers during one Coordinator run. This value is relative to the total maximum segment movements allowed during one run which is determined by maxSegmentsToMove. If decommissioningMaxPercentOfMaxSegmentsToMove is 0, segments will neither be moved from or to ‘decommissioning’ servers, effectively putting them in a sort of “maintenance” mode that will not participate in balancing or assignment by load rules. Decommissioning can also become stalled if there are no available active servers to place the segments. By leveraging the maximum percent of decommissioning segment movements, an operator can prevent active servers from overload by prioritizing balancing, or decrease decommissioning time instead. The value should be between 0 and 100. | 70 |
To view the audit history of Coordinator dynamic config issue a GET request to the URL -
http://<COORDINATOR_IP>:<PORT>/druid/coordinator/v1/config/history?interval=<interval>
default value of interval can be specified by setting druid.audit.manager.auditHistoryMillis (1 week if not configured) in Coordinator runtime.properties
To view last entries of the audit history of Coordinator dynamic config issue a GET request to the URL -

These configuration options control the behavior of the Lookup dynamic configuration described in the lookups page
| Property | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
druid.manager.lookups.hostDeleteTimeout | How long to wait for a DELETE request to a particular process before considering the DELETE a failure | PT1S |
druid.manager.lookups.hostUpdateTimeout | How long to wait for a POST request to a particular process before considering the POST a failure | PT10S |
druid.manager.lookups.deleteAllTimeout | How long to wait for all DELETE requests to finish before considering the delete attempt a failure | PT10S |
druid.manager.lookups.updateAllTimeout | How long to wait for all POST requests to finish before considering the attempt a failure | PT60S |
druid.manager.lookups.threadPoolSize | How many processes can be managed concurrently (concurrent POST and DELETE requests). Requests this limit will wait in a queue until a slot becomes available. | 10 |
druid.manager.lookups.period | How many milliseconds between checks for configuration changes | 30_000 |
Compaction configurations can also be set or updated dynamically using Coordinator's API without restarting Coordinators.
For details about segment compaction, please check Segment Size Optimization.
A description of the compaction config is:
| Property | Description | Required |
|---|---|---|
dataSource | dataSource name to be compacted. | yes |
keepSegmentGranularity | Set keepSegmentGranularity to true for compactionTask. | no (default = true) |
taskPriority | Priority of compaction task. | no (default = 25) |
inputSegmentSizeBytes | Maximum number of total segment bytes processed per compaction task. Since a time chunk must be processed in its entirety, if the segments for a particular time chunk have a total size in bytes greater than this parameter, compaction will not run for that time chunk. Because each compaction task runs with a single thread, setting this value too far above 1–2GB will result in compaction tasks taking an excessive amount of time. | no (default = 419430400) |
targetCompactionSizeBytes | The target segment size, for each segment, after compaction. The actual sizes of compacted segments might be slightly larger or smaller than this value. Each compaction task may generate more than one output segment, and it will try to keep each output segment close to this configured size. This configuration cannot be used together with maxRowsPerSegment. | no (default = 419430400) |
maxRowsPerSegment | Max number of rows per segment after compaction. This configuration cannot be used together with targetCompactionSizeBytes. | no |
maxNumSegmentsToCompact | Maximum number of segments to compact together per compaction task. Since a time chunk must be processed in its entirety, if a time chunk has a total number of segments greater than this parameter, compaction will not run for that time chunk. | no (default = 150) |
skipOffsetFromLatest | The offset for searching segments to be compacted. Strongly recommended to set for realtime dataSources. | no (default = “P1D”) |
tuningConfig | Tuning config for compaction tasks. See below Compaction Task TuningConfig. | no |
taskContext | Task context for compaction tasks. | no |
An example of compaction config is:
{ "dataSource": "wikiticker" }
Note that compaction tasks can fail if their locks are revoked by other tasks of higher priorities. Since realtime tasks have a higher priority than compaction task by default, it can be problematic if there are frequent conflicts between compaction tasks and realtime tasks. If this is the case, the coordinator‘s automatic compaction might get stuck because of frequent compaction task failures. This kind of problem may happen especially in Kafka/Kinesis indexing systems which allow late data arrival. If you see this problem, it’s recommended to set skipOffsetFromLatest to some large enough value to avoid such conflicts between compaction tasks and realtime tasks.
| Property | Description | Required |
|---|---|---|
maxRowsInMemory | See tuningConfig for indexTask | no (default = 1000000) |
maxTotalRows | See tuningConfig for indexTask | no (default = 20000000) |
indexSpec | See IndexSpec | no |
maxPendingPersists | See tuningConfig for indexTask | no (default = 0 (meaning one persist can be running concurrently with ingestion, and none can be queued up)) |
pushTimeout | See tuningConfig for indexTask | no (default = 0) |

Issuing a GET request at the same URL will return the current worker config spec that is currently in place. The worker config spec list above is just a sample for EC2 and it is possible to extend the code base for other deployment environments. A description of the worker config spec is shown below.
| Property | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
selectStrategy | How to assign tasks to MiddleManagers. Choices are fillCapacity, equalDistribution, and javascript. | equalDistribution |
autoScaler | Only used if autoscaling is enabled. See below. | null |
To view the audit history of worker config issue a GET request to the URL -

Worker select strategies control how Druid assigns tasks to middleManagers.
Tasks are assigned to the middleManager with the most available capacity at the time the task begins running. This is useful if you want work evenly distributed across your middleManagers.
| Property | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
type | equalDistribution. | required; must be equalDistribution |
affinityConfig | Affinity config object | null (no affinity) |
Tasks are assigned to the worker with the most currently-running tasks at the time the task begins running. This is useful in situations where you are elastically auto-scaling middleManagers, since it will tend to pack some full and leave others empty. The empty ones can be safely terminated.
Note that if druid.indexer.runner.pendingTasksRunnerNumThreads is set to N > 1, then this strategy will fill N middleManagers up to capacity simultaneously, rather than a single middleManager.
| Property | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
type | fillCapacity. | required; must be fillCapacity |
affinityConfig | Affinity config object | null (no affinity) |
Allows defining arbitrary logic for selecting workers to run task using a JavaScript function. The function is passed remoteTaskRunnerConfig, map of workerId to available workers and task to be executed and returns the workerId on which the task should be run or null if the task cannot be run. It can be used for rapid development of missing features where the worker selection logic is to be changed or tuned often. If the selection logic is quite complex and cannot be easily tested in javascript environment, its better to write a druid extension module with extending current worker selection strategies written in java.
| Property | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
type | javascript. | required; must be javascript |
function | String representing javascript function |
Example: a function that sends batch_index_task to workers 10.0.0.1 and 10.0.0.2 and all other tasks to other available workers.
{
"type":"javascript",
"function":"function (config, zkWorkers, task) {\nvar batch_workers = new java.util.ArrayList();\nbatch_workers.add(\"10.0.0.1\");\nbatch_workers.add(\"10.0.0.2\");\nworkers = zkWorkers.keySet().toArray();\nvar sortedWorkers = new Array()\n;for(var i = 0; i < workers.length; i++){\n sortedWorkers[i] = workers[i];\n}\nArray.prototype.sort.call(sortedWorkers,function(a, b){return zkWorkers.get(b).getCurrCapacityUsed() - zkWorkers.get(a).getCurrCapacityUsed();});\nvar minWorkerVer = config.getMinWorkerVersion();\nfor (var i = 0; i < sortedWorkers.length; i++) {\n var worker = sortedWorkers[i];\n var zkWorker = zkWorkers.get(worker);\n if(zkWorker.canRunTask(task) && zkWorker.isValidVersion(minWorkerVer)){\n if(task.getType() == 'index_hadoop' && batch_workers.contains(worker)){\n return worker;\n } else {\n if(task.getType() != 'index_hadoop' && !batch_workers.contains(worker)){\n return worker;\n }\n }\n }\n}\nreturn null;\n}"
}
Affinity configs can be provided to the equalDistribution and fillCapacity strategies using the “affinityConfig” field. If not provided, the default is to not use affinity at all.
| Property | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
affinity | JSON object mapping a datasource String name to a list of indexing service middleManager host:port String values. Druid doesn't perform DNS resolution, so the ‘host’ value must match what is configured on the middleManager and what the middleManager announces itself as (examine the Overlord logs to see what your middleManager announces itself as). | {} |
strong | With weak affinity (the default), tasks for a dataSource may be assigned to other middleManagers if their affinity-mapped middleManagers are not able to run all pending tasks in the queue for that dataSource. With strong affinity, tasks for a dataSource will only ever be assigned to their affinity-mapped middleManagers, and will wait in the pending queue if necessary. | false |
Amazon's EC2 is currently the only supported autoscaler.
| Property | Description | Default |

maxNumWorkers | The maximum number of workers that can be in the cluster at any given time. | 0 |
availabilityZone | What availability zone to run in. | none |
nodeData | A JSON object that describes how to launch new nodes. | none; required |
userData | A JSON object that describes how to configure new nodes. If you have set druid.indexer.autoscale.workerVersion, this must have a versionReplacementString. Otherwise, a versionReplacementString is not necessary. | none; optional |
This section contains the configuration options for the processes that reside on Data servers (MiddleManagers/Peons and Historicals) in the suggested three-server configuration.
These MiddleManager and Peon configurations can be defined in the middleManager/runtime.properties file.
| Property | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
druid.host | The host for the current process. This is used to advertise the current processes location as reachable from another process and should generally be specified such that http://${druid.host}/ could actually talk to this process | InetAddress.getLocalHost().getCanonicalHostName() |
druid.bindOnHost | Indicating whether the process's internal jetty server bind on druid.host. Default is false, which means binding to all interfaces. | false |
druid.plaintextPort | This is the port to actually listen on; unless port mapping is used, this will be the same port as is on druid.host | 8091 |
druid.tlsPort | TLS port for HTTPS connector, if druid.enableTlsPort is set then this config will be used. If druid.host contains port then that port will be ignored. This should be a non-negative Integer. | 8291 |
druid.service | The name of the service. This is used as a dimension when emitting metrics and alerts to differentiate between the various services | druid/middlemanager |
Middle managers pass their configurations down to their child peons. The MiddleManager requires the following configs:
| Property | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
druid.indexer.runner.allowedPrefixes | Whitelist of prefixes for configs that can be passed down to child peons. | “com.metamx”, “druid”, “org.apache.druid”, “user.timezone”, “file.encoding”, “java.io.tmpdir”, “hadoop” |
druid.indexer.runner.compressZnodes | Indicates whether or not the MiddleManagers should compress Znodes. | true |
druid.indexer.runner.classpath | Java classpath for the peon. | System.getProperty(“java.class.path”) |
druid.indexer.runner.javaCommand | Command required to execute java. | java |
druid.indexer.runner.javaOpts | DEPRECATED A string of -X Java options to pass to the peon's JVM. Quotable parameters or parameters with spaces are encouraged to use javaOptsArray | "" |
druid.indexer.runner.javaOptsArray | A json array of strings to be passed in as options to the peon's jvm. This is additive to javaOpts and is recommended for properly handling arguments which contain quotes or spaces like ["-XX:OnOutOfMemoryError=kill -9 %p"] | [] |
druid.indexer.runner.maxZnodeBytes | The maximum size Znode in bytes that can be created in Zookeeper. | 524288 |
druid.indexer.runner.startPort | Starting port used for peon processes, should be greater than 1023 and less than 65536. | 8100 |
druid.indexer.runner.endPort | Ending port used for peon processes, should be greater than or equal to druid.indexer.runner.startPort and less than 65536. | 65535 |
druid.indexer.runner.ports | A json array of integers to specify ports that used for peon processes. If provided and non-empty, ports for peon processes will be chosen from these ports. And druid.indexer.runner.startPort/druid.indexer.runner.endPort will be completely ignored. | [] |
druid.worker.ip | The IP of the worker. | localhost |
druid.worker.version | Version identifier for the MiddleManager. | 0 |
druid.worker.capacity | Maximum number of tasks the MiddleManager can accept. | Number of available processors - 1 |
Processing properties set on the Middlemanager will be passed through to Peons.
| Property | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
druid.processing.buffer.sizeBytes | This specifies a buffer size for the storage of intermediate results. The computation engine in both the Historical and Realtime processes will use a scratch buffer of this size to do all of their intermediate computations off-heap. Larger values allow for more aggregations in a single pass over the data while smaller values can require more passes depending on the query that is being executed. | auto (max 1GB) |
druid.processing.buffer.poolCacheMaxCount | processing buffer pool caches the buffers for later use, this is the maximum count cache will grow to. note that pool can create more buffers than it can cache if necessary. | Integer.MAX_VALUE |
druid.processing.formatString | Realtime and Historical processes use this format string to name their processing threads. | processing-%s |
druid.processing.numMergeBuffers | The number of direct memory buffers available for merging query results. The buffers are sized by druid.processing.buffer.sizeBytes. This property is effectively a concurrency limit for queries that require merging buffers. If you are using any queries that require merge buffers (currently, just groupBy v2) then you should have at least two of these. | max(2, druid.processing.numThreads / 4) |
druid.processing.numThreads | The number of processing threads to have available for parallel processing of segments. Our rule of thumb is num_cores - 1, which means that even under heavy load there will still be one core available to do background tasks like talking with ZooKeeper and pulling down segments. If only one core is available, this property defaults to the value 1. | Number of cores - 1 (or 1) |
druid.processing.columnCache.sizeBytes | Maximum size in bytes for the dimension value lookup cache. Any value greater than 0 enables the cache. It is currently disabled by default. Enabling the lookup cache can significantly improve the performance of aggregators operating on dimension values, such as the JavaScript aggregator, or cardinality aggregator, but can slow things down if the cache hit rate is low (i.e. dimensions with few repeating values). Enabling it may also require additional garbage collection tuning to avoid long GC pauses. | 0 (disabled) |
druid.processing.fifo | If the processing queue should treat tasks of equal priority in a FIFO manner | false |
druid.processing.tmpDir | Path where temporary files created while processing a query should be stored. If specified, this configuration takes priority over the default java.io.tmpdir path. | path represented by java.io.tmpdir |
The amount of direct memory needed by Druid is at least druid.processing.buffer.sizeBytes * (druid.processing.numMergeBuffers + druid.processing.numThreads + 1). You can ensure at least this amount of direct memory is available by providing -XX:MaxDirectMemorySize=<VALUE> in druid.indexer.runner.javaOptsArray as documented above.
See general query configuration.
You can optionally configure caching to be enabled on the peons by setting caching configs here.
| Property | Possible Values | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
druid.realtime.cache.useCache | true, false | Enable the cache on the realtime. | false |
druid.realtime.cache.populateCache | true, false | Populate the cache on the realtime. | false |
druid.realtime.cache.unCacheable | All druid query types | All query types to not cache. | ["groupBy", "select"] |
See cache configuration for how to configure cache settings.
Although peons inherit the configurations of their parent MiddleManagers, explicit child peon configs in MiddleManager can be set by prefixing them with:
druid.indexer.fork.property
Additional peon configs include:
| Property | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
druid.peon.mode | Choices are “local” and “remote”. Setting this to local means you intend to run the peon as a standalone process (Not recommended). | remote |
druid.indexer.task.baseDir | Base temporary working directory. | System.getProperty("java.io.tmpdir") |
druid.indexer.task.baseTaskDir | Base temporary working directory for tasks. | ${druid.indexer.task.baseDir}/persistent/tasks |
druid.indexer.task.defaultHadoopCoordinates | Hadoop version to use with HadoopIndexTasks that do not request a particular version. | org.apache.hadoop:hadoop-client:2.8.3 |
druid.indexer.task.defaultRowFlushBoundary | Highest row count before persisting to disk. Used for indexing generating tasks. | 75000 |
druid.indexer.task.directoryLockTimeout | Wait this long for zombie peons to exit before giving up on their replacements. | PT10M |
druid.indexer.task.gracefulShutdownTimeout | Wait this long on middleManager restart for restorable tasks to gracefully exit. | PT5M |
druid.indexer.task.hadoopWorkingPath | Temporary working directory for Hadoop tasks. | /tmp/druid-indexing |
druid.indexer.task.restoreTasksOnRestart | If true, middleManagers will attempt to stop tasks gracefully on shutdown and restore them on restart. | false |
druid.indexer.server.maxChatRequests | Maximum number of concurrent requests served by a task's chat handler. Set to 0 to disable limiting. | 0 |
If the peon is running in remote mode, there must be an Overlord up and running. Peons in remote mode can set the following configurations:
| Property | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
druid.peon.taskActionClient.retry.minWait | The minimum retry time to communicate with Overlord. | PT5S |
druid.peon.taskActionClient.retry.maxWait | The maximum retry time to communicate with Overlord. | PT1M |
druid.peon.taskActionClient.retry.maxRetryCount | The maximum number of retries to communicate with Overlord. | 60 |
When new segments are created, Druid temporarily stores some pre-processed data in some buffers. Currently two types of medium exist for those buffers: temporary files and off-heap memory.
Temporary files (tmpFile) are stored under the task working directory (see druid.indexer.task.baseTaskDir configuration above) and thus share it's mounting properies, e. g. they could be backed by HDD, SSD or memory (tmpfs). This type of medium may do unnecessary disk I/O and requires some disk space to be available.
Off-heap memory medium (offHeapMemory) creates buffers in off-heap memory of a JVM process that is running a task. This type of medium is preferred, but it may require to allow the JVM to have more off-heap memory, by changing -XX:MaxDirectMemorySize configuration. It is not yet understood how does the required off-heap memory size relates to the size of the segments being created. But definitely it doesn't make sense to add more extra off-heap memory, than the configured maximum heap size (-Xmx) for the same JVM.
For most types of tasks SegmentWriteOutMediumFactory could be configured per-task (see Tasks page, “TuningConfig” section), but if it‘s not specified for a task, or it’s not supported for a particular task type, then the value from the configuration below is used:
| Property | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
druid.peon.defaultSegmentWriteOutMediumFactory.type | tmpFile or offHeapMemory, see explanation above | tmpFile |
For general Historical Process information, see here.
These Historical configurations can be defined in the historical/runtime.properties file.
| Property | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
druid.host | The host for the current process. This is used to advertise the current processes location as reachable from another process and should generally be specified such that http://${druid.host}/ could actually talk to this process | InetAddress.getLocalHost().getCanonicalHostName() |
druid.bindOnHost | Indicating whether the process's internal jetty server bind on druid.host. Default is false, which means binding to all interfaces. | false |
druid.plaintextPort | This is the port to actually listen on; unless port mapping is used, this will be the same port as is on druid.host | 8083 |
druid.tlsPort | TLS port for HTTPS connector, if druid.enableTlsPort is set then this config will be used. If druid.host contains port then that port will be ignored. This should be a non-negative Integer. | 8283 |
druid.service | The name of the service. This is used as a dimension when emitting metrics and alerts to differentiate between the various services | druid/historical |
| Property | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
druid.server.maxSize | The maximum number of bytes-worth of segments that the process wants assigned to it. This is not a limit that Historical processes actually enforces, just a value published to the Coordinator process so it can plan accordingly. | 0 |
druid.server.tier | A string to name the distribution tier that the storage process belongs to. Many of the rules Coordinator processes use to manage segments can be keyed on tiers. | _default_tier |
druid.server.priority | In a tiered architecture, the priority of the tier, thus allowing control over which processes are queried. Higher numbers mean higher priority. The default (no priority) works for architecture with no cross replication (tiers that have no data-storage overlap). Data centers typically have equal priority. | 0 |
| Property | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
druid.segmentCache.locations | Segments assigned to a Historical process are first stored on the local file system (in a disk cache) and then served by the Historical process. These locations define where that local cache resides. This value cannot be NULL or EMPTY. Here is an example druid.segmentCache.locations=[{"path": "/mnt/druidSegments", "maxSize": 10000, "freeSpacePercent": 1.0}]. “freeSpacePercent” is optional, if provided then enforces that much of free disk partition space while storing segments. But, it depends on File.getTotalSpace() and File.getFreeSpace() methods, so enable if only if they work for your File System. | none |
druid.segmentCache.deleteOnRemove | Delete segment files from cache once a process is no longer serving a segment. | true |
druid.segmentCache.dropSegmentDelayMillis | How long a process delays before completely dropping segment. | 30000 (30 seconds) |
druid.segmentCache.infoDir | Historical processes keep track of the segments they are serving so that when the process is restarted they can reload the same segments without waiting for the Coordinator to reassign. This path defines where this metadata is kept. Directory will be created if needed. | ${first_location}/info_dir |
druid.segmentCache.announceIntervalMillis | How frequently to announce segments while segments are loading from cache. Set this value to zero to wait for all segments to be loaded before announcing. | 5000 (5 seconds) |
druid.segmentCache.numLoadingThreads | How many segments to drop or load concurrently from from deep storage. | 10 |
druid.segmentCache.numBootstrapThreads | How many segments to load concurrently from local storage at startup. | Same as numLoadingThreads |
In druid.segmentCache.locations, freeSpacePercent was added because maxSize setting is only a theoretical limit and assumes that much space will always be available for storing segments. In case of any druid bug leading to unaccounted segment files left alone on disk or some other process writing stuff to disk, This check can start failing segment loading early before filling up the disk completely and leaving the host usable otherwise.
Druid uses Jetty to serve HTTP requests.
| Property | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|

druid.server.http.unannouncePropagationDelay | How long to wait for zookeeper unannouncements to propagate before shutting down Jetty. This is a minimum and druid.server.http.gracefulShutdownTimeout does not start counting down until after this period elapses. | PT0S (do not wait) |
druid.server.http.maxQueryTimeout | Maximum allowed value (in milliseconds) for timeout parameter. See query-context to know more about timeout. Query is rejected if the query context timeout is greater than this value. | Long.MAX_VALUE |
druid.server.http.maxRequestHeaderSize | Maximum size of a request header in bytes. Larger headers consume more memory and can make a server more vulnerable to denial of service attacks. | 8 * 1024 |
| Property | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|

druid.processing.tmpDir | Path where temporary files created while processing a query should be stored. If specified, this configuration takes priority over the default java.io.tmpdir path. | path represented by java.io.tmpdir |
The amount of direct memory needed by Druid is at least druid.processing.buffer.sizeBytes * (druid.processing.numMergeBuffers + druid.processing.numThreads + 1). You can ensure at least this amount of direct memory is available by providing -XX:MaxDirectMemorySize=<VALUE> at the command line.

This section contains the configuration options for the processes that reside on Query servers (Brokers) in the suggested three-server configuration.
For general Broker process information, see here.
These Broker configurations can be defined in the broker/runtime.properties file.
| Property | Description | Default |

druid.bindOnHost | Indicating whether the process's internal jetty server bind on druid.host. Default is false, which means binding to all interfaces. | false |
druid.plaintextPort | This is the port to actually listen on; unless port mapping is used, this will be the same port as is on druid.host | 8082 |
druid.tlsPort | TLS port for HTTPS connector, if druid.enableTlsPort is set then this config will be used. If druid.host contains port then that port will be ignored. This should be a non-negative Integer. | 8282 |

druid.server.http.maxScatterGatherBytes | Maximum number of bytes gathered from data processes such as Historicals and realtime processes to execute a query. Queries that exceed this limit will fail. This is an advance configuration that allows to protect in case Broker is under heavy load and not utilizing the data gathered in memory fast enough and leading to OOMs. This limit can be further reduced at query time using maxScatterGatherBytes in the context. Note that having large limit is not necessarily bad if broker is never under heavy concurrent load in which case data gathered is processed quickly and freeing up the memory used. | Long.MAX_VALUE |
druid.server.http.gracefulShutdownTimeout | The maximum amount of time Jetty waits after receiving shutdown signal. After this timeout the threads will be forcefully shutdown. This allows any queries that are executing to complete. | PT0S (do not wait) |

Druid Brokers use an HTTP client to communicate with with data servers (Historical servers and real-time tasks). This client has the following configuration options.
| Property | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
druid.broker.http.numConnections | Size of connection pool for the Broker to connect to Historical and real-time processes. If there are more queries than this number that all need to speak to the same process, then they will queue up. | 20 |
druid.broker.http.compressionCodec | Compression codec the Broker uses to communicate with Historical and real-time processes. May be “gzip” or “identity”. | gzip |
druid.broker.http.readTimeout | The timeout for data reads from Historical servers and real-time tasks. | PT15M |
druid.broker.http.unusedConnectionTimeout | The timeout for idle connections in connection pool. This timeout should be less than druid.broker.http.readTimeout. Set this timeout = ~90% of druid.broker.http.readTimeout | PT4M |
druid.broker.http.maxQueuedBytes | Maximum number of bytes queued per query before exerting backpressure on the channel to the data server. Similar to druid.server.http.maxScatterGatherBytes, except unlike that configuration, this one will trigger backpressure rather than query failure. Zero means disabled. Can be overridden by the “maxQueuedBytes” query context parameter. | 0 (disabled) |
Druid broker can optionally retry queries internally for transient errors.
| Property | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
druid.broker.retryPolicy.numTries | Number of tries. | 1 |

The amount of direct memory needed by Druid is at least druid.processing.buffer.sizeBytes * (druid.processing.numMergeBuffers + druid.processing.numThreads + 1). You can ensure at least this amount of direct memory is available by providing -XX:MaxDirectMemorySize=<VALUE> at the command line.
See general query configuration.
The Druid SQL server is configured through the following properties on the Broker.
| Property | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
druid.sql.enable | Whether to enable SQL at all, including background metadata fetching. If false, this overrides all other SQL-related properties and disables SQL metadata, serving, and planning completely. | false |
druid.sql.avatica.enable | Whether to enable JDBC querying at /druid/v2/sql/avatica/. | true |
druid.sql.avatica.maxConnections | Maximum number of open connections for the Avatica server. These are not HTTP connections, but are logical client connections that may span multiple HTTP connections. | 50 |
druid.sql.avatica.maxRowsPerFrame | Maximum number of rows to return in a single JDBC frame. Setting this property to -1 indicates that no row limit should be applied. Clients can optionally specify a row limit in their requests; if a client specifies a row limit, the lesser value of the client-provided limit and maxRowsPerFrame will be used. | 5,000 |

druid.sql.avatica.connectionIdleTimeout | Avatica client connection idle timeout. | PT5M |
druid.sql.http.enable | Whether to enable JSON over HTTP querying at /druid/v2/sql/. | true |
druid.sql.planner.awaitInitializationOnStart | Boolean | Whether the the Broker will wait for its SQL metadata view to fully initialize before starting up. If set to ‘true’, the Broker's HTTP server will not start up, and the Broker will not announce itself as available, until the server view is initialized. See also druid.broker.segment.awaitInitializationOnStart, a related setting. |
druid.sql.planner.maxQueryCount | Maximum number of queries to issue, including nested queries. Set to 1 to disable sub-queries, or set to 0 for unlimited. | 8 |

druid.sql.planner.useApproximateCountDistinct | Whether to use an approximate cardinalty algorithm for COUNT(DISTINCT foo). | true |
druid.sql.planner.useApproximateTopN | Whether to use approximate TopN queries when a SQL query could be expressed as such. If false, exact GroupBy queries will be used instead. | true |
druid.sql.planner.useFallback | Whether to evaluate operations on the Broker when they cannot be expressed as Druid queries. This option is not recommended for production since it can generate unscalable query plans. If false, SQL queries that cannot be translated to Druid queries will fail. | false |
druid.sql.planner.requireTimeCondition | Whether to require SQL to have filter conditions on __time column so that all generated native queries will have user specified intervals. If true, all queries wihout filter condition on __time column will fail | false |
druid.sql.planner.sqlTimeZone | Sets the default time zone for the server, which will affect how time functions and timestamp literals behave. Should be a time zone name like “America/Los_Angeles” or offset like “-08:00”. | UTC |
druid.sql.planner.serializeComplexValues | Whether to serialize “complex” output values, false will return the class name instead of the serialized value. | true |
You can optionally only configure caching to be enabled on the Broker by setting caching configs here.
| Property | Possible Values | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
druid.broker.cache.useCache | true, false | Enable the cache on the Broker. | false |
druid.broker.cache.populateCache | true, false | Populate the cache on the Broker. | false |
druid.broker.cache.useResultLevelCache | true, false | Enable result level caching on the Broker. | false |
druid.broker.cache.populateResultLevelCache | true, false | Populate the result level cache on the Broker. | false |
druid.broker.cache.resultLevelCacheLimit | positive integer | Maximum size of query response that can be cached. | Integer.MAX_VALUE |
druid.broker.cache.unCacheable | All druid query types | All query types to not cache. | ["groupBy", "select"] |
druid.broker.cache.cacheBulkMergeLimit | positive integer or 0 | Queries with more segments than this number will not attempt to fetch from cache at the broker level, leaving potential caching fetches (and cache result merging) to the Historicals | Integer.MAX_VALUE |
See cache configuration for how to configure cache settings.
| Property | Possible Values | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
druid.serverview.type | batch or http | Segment discovery method to use. “http” enables discovering segments using HTTP instead of zookeeper. | batch |
druid.broker.segment.watchedTiers | List of strings | Broker watches the segment announcements from processes serving segments to build cache of which process is serving which segments, this configuration allows to only consider segments being served from a whitelist of tiers. By default, Broker would consider all tiers. This can be used to partition your dataSources in specific Historical tiers and configure brokers in partitions so that they are only queryable for specific dataSources. | none |
druid.broker.segment.watchedDataSources | List of strings | Broker watches the segment announcements from processes serving segments to build cache of which process is serving which segments, this configuration allows to only consider segments being served from a whitelist of dataSources. By default, Broker would consider all datasources. This can be used to configure brokers in partitions so that they are only queryable for specific dataSources. | none |
druid.broker.segment.awaitInitializationOnStart | Boolean | Whether the the Broker will wait for its view of segments to fully initialize before starting up. If set to ‘true’, the Broker's HTTP server will not start up, and the Broker will not announce itself as available, until the server view is initialized. See also druid.sql.planner.awaitInitializationOnStart, a related setting. | true |
This section describes caching configuration that is common to Broker, Historical, and MiddleManager/Peon processes.
Caching can optionally be enabled on the Broker, Historical, and MiddleManager/Peon processses. See Broker, Historical, and Peon configuration options for how to enable it for different processes.
Druid uses a local in-memory cache by default, unless a diffrent type of cache is specified. Use the druid.cache.type configuration to set a different kind of cache.
Cache settings are set globally, so the same configuration can be re-used for both Broker and Historical processes, when defined in the common properties file.
| Property | Possible Values | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
druid.cache.type | local, memcached, hybrid, caffeine | The type of cache to use for queries. See below of the configuration options for each cache type | caffeine |
The local cache is deprecated in favor of the Caffeine cache, and may be removed in a future version of Druid. The Caffeine cache affords significantly better performance and control over eviction behavior compared to local cache, and is recommended in any situation where you are using JRE 8u60 or higher.
A simple in-memory LRU cache. Local cache resides in JVM heap memory, so if you enable it, make sure you increase heap size accordingly.
| Property | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
druid.cache.sizeInBytes | Maximum cache size in bytes. Zero disables caching. | 0 |
druid.cache.initialSize | Initial size of the hashtable backing the cache. | 500000 |
druid.cache.logEvictionCount | If non-zero, log cache eviction every logEvictionCount items. | 0 |
A highly performant local cache implementation for Druid based on Caffeine. Requires a JRE8u60 or higher if using COMMON_FJP.
Below are the configuration options known to this module:
runtime.properties | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
druid.cache.type | Set this to caffeine or leave out parameter | caffeine |
druid.cache.sizeInBytes | The maximum size of the cache in bytes on heap. | min(1GB, Runtime.maxMemory / 10) |
druid.cache.expireAfter | The time (in ms) after an access for which a cache entry may be expired | None (no time limit) |
druid.cache.cacheExecutorFactory | The executor factory to use for Caffeine maintenance. One of COMMON_FJP, SINGLE_THREAD, or SAME_THREAD | ForkJoinPool common pool (COMMON_FJP) |
druid.cache.evictOnClose | If a close of a namespace (ex: removing a segment from a process) should cause an eager eviction of associated cache values | false |
druid.cache.cacheExecutorFactoryHere are the possible values for druid.cache.cacheExecutorFactory, which controls how maintenance tasks are run
COMMON_FJP (default) use the common ForkJoinPool. Should use with JRE 8u60 or higher. Older versions of the JRE may have worse performance than newer JRE versions.SINGLE_THREAD Use a single-threaded executor.SAME_THREAD Cache maintenance is done eagerly.In addition to the normal cache metrics, the caffeine cache implementation also reports the following in both total and delta
| Metric | Description | Normal value |
|---|---|---|
query/cache/caffeine/*/requests | Count of hits or misses | hit + miss |
query/cache/caffeine/*/loadTime | Length of time caffeine spends loading new values (unused feature) | 0 |
query/cache/caffeine/*/evictionBytes | Size in bytes that have been evicted from the cache | Varies, should tune cache sizeInBytes so that sizeInBytes/evictionBytes is approximately the rate of cache churn you desire |
Uses memcached as cache backend. This allows all processes to share the same cache.
| Property | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
druid.cache.expiration | Memcached expiration time. | 2592000 (30 days) |
druid.cache.timeout | Maximum time in milliseconds to wait for a response from Memcached. | 500 |
druid.cache.hosts | Comma separated list of Memcached hosts <host:port>. | none |
druid.cache.maxObjectSize | Maximum object size in bytes for a Memcached object. | 52428800 (50 MB) |
druid.cache.memcachedPrefix | Key prefix for all keys in Memcached. | druid |
druid.cache.numConnections | Number of memcached connections to use. | 1 |
druid.cache.protocol | Memcached communication protocol. Can be binary or text. | binary |
druid.cache.locator | Memcached locator. Can be consistent or array_mod. | consistent |
Uses a combination of any two caches as a two-level L1 / L2 cache. This may be used to combine a local in-memory cache with a remote memcached cache.
Cache requests will first check L1 cache before checking L2. If there is an L1 miss and L2 hit, it will also populate L1.
| Property | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
druid.cache.l1.type | type of cache to use for L1 cache. See druid.cache.type configuration for valid types. | caffeine |
druid.cache.l2.type | type of cache to use for L2 cache. See druid.cache.type configuration for valid types. | caffeine |
druid.cache.l1.* | Any property valid for the given type of L1 cache can be set using this prefix. For instance, if you are using a caffeine L1 cache, specify druid.cache.l1.sizeInBytes to set its size. | defaults are the same as for the given cache type. |
druid.cache.l2.* | Prefix for L2 cache settings, see description for L1. | defaults are the same as for the given cache type. |
druid.cache.useL2 | A boolean indicating whether to query L2 cache, if it‘s a miss in L1. It makes sense to configure this to false on Historical processes, if L2 is a remote cache like memcached, and this cache also used on brokers, because in this case if a query reached Historical it means that a broker didn’t find corresponding results in the same remote cache, so a query to the remote cache from Historical is guaranteed to be a miss. | true |
druid.cache.populateL2 | A boolean indicating whether to put results into L2 cache. | true |
This section describes configurations that control behavior of Druid's query types, applicable to Broker, Historical, and MiddleManager processes.
| Property | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
druid.query.topN.minTopNThreshold | See TopN Aliasing for details. | 1000 |
| Property | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
druid.query.search.maxSearchLimit | Maximum number of search results to return. | 1000 |
druid.query.search.searchStrategy | Default search query strategy. | useIndexes |
| Property | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
druid.query.segmentMetadata.defaultHistory | When no interval is specified in the query, use a default interval of defaultHistory before the end time of the most recent segment, specified in ISO8601 format. This property also controls the duration of the default interval used by GET /druid/v2/datasources/{dataSourceName} interactions for retrieving datasource dimensions/metrics. | P1W |
druid.query.segmentMetadata.defaultAnalysisTypes | This can be used to set the Default Analysis Types for all segment metadata queries, this can be overridden when making the query | [“cardinality”, “interval”, “minmax”] |
This section describes the configurations for groupBy queries. You can set the runtime properties in the runtime.properties file on Broker, Historical, and MiddleManager processes. You can set the query context parameters through the query context.
Supported runtime properties:
| Property | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
druid.query.groupBy.maxMergingDictionarySize | Maximum amount of heap space (approximately) to use for the string dictionary during merging. When the dictionary exceeds this size, a spill to disk will be triggered. | 100000000 |
druid.query.groupBy.maxOnDiskStorage | Maximum amount of disk space to use, per-query, for spilling result sets to disk when either the merging buffer or the dictionary fills up. Queries that exceed this limit will fail. Set to zero to disable disk spilling. | 0 (disabled) |
Supported query contexts:
| Key | Description |
|---|---|
maxMergingDictionarySize | Can be used to lower the value of druid.query.groupBy.maxMergingDictionarySize for this query. |
maxOnDiskStorage | Can be used to lower the value of druid.query.groupBy.maxOnDiskStorage for this query. |
Supported runtime properties:
| Property | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
druid.query.groupBy.defaultStrategy | Default groupBy query strategy. | v2 |
druid.query.groupBy.singleThreaded | Merge results using a single thread. | false |
Supported query contexts:
| Key | Description |
|---|---|
groupByStrategy | Overrides the value of druid.query.groupBy.defaultStrategy for this query. |
groupByIsSingleThreaded | Overrides the value of druid.query.groupBy.singleThreaded for this query. |
Supported runtime properties:
| Property | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
druid.query.groupBy.bufferGrouperInitialBuckets | Initial number of buckets in the off-heap hash table used for grouping results. Set to 0 to use a reasonable default (1024). | 0 |
druid.query.groupBy.bufferGrouperMaxLoadFactor | Maximum load factor of the off-heap hash table used for grouping results. When the load factor exceeds this size, the table will be grown or spilled to disk. Set to 0 to use a reasonable default (0.7). | 0 |
druid.query.groupBy.forceHashAggregation | Force to use hash-based aggregation. | false |
druid.query.groupBy.intermediateCombineDegree | Number of intermediate processes combined together in the combining tree. Higher degrees will need less threads which might be helpful to improve the query performance by reducing the overhead of too many threads if the server has sufficiently powerful cpu cores. | 8 |
druid.query.groupBy.numParallelCombineThreads | Hint for the number of parallel combining threads. This should be larger than 1 to turn on the parallel combining feature. The actual number of threads used for parallel combining is min(druid.query.groupBy.numParallelCombineThreads, druid.processing.numThreads). | 1 (disabled) |
Supported query contexts:
| Key | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
bufferGrouperInitialBuckets | Overrides the value of druid.query.groupBy.bufferGrouperInitialBuckets for this query. | None |
bufferGrouperMaxLoadFactor | Overrides the value of druid.query.groupBy.bufferGrouperMaxLoadFactor for this query. | None |
forceHashAggregation | Overrides the value of druid.query.groupBy.forceHashAggregation | None |
intermediateCombineDegree | Overrides the value of druid.query.groupBy.intermediateCombineDegree | None |
numParallelCombineThreads | Overrides the value of druid.query.groupBy.numParallelCombineThreads | None |
sortByDimsFirst | Sort the results first by dimension values and then by timestamp. | false |
forceLimitPushDown | When all fields in the orderby are part of the grouping key, the broker will push limit application down to the Historical processes. When the sorting order uses fields that are not in the grouping key, applying this optimization can result in approximate results with unknown accuracy, so this optimization is disabled by default in that case. Enabling this context flag turns on limit push down for limit/orderbys that contain non-grouping key columns. | false |
Supported runtime properties:
| Property | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
druid.query.groupBy.maxIntermediateRows | Maximum number of intermediate rows for the per-segment grouping engine. This is a tuning parameter that does not impose a hard limit; rather, it potentially shifts merging work from the per-segment engine to the overall merging index. Queries that exceed this limit will not fail. | 50000 |
druid.query.groupBy.maxResults | Maximum number of results. Queries that exceed this limit will fail. | 500000 |
Supported query contexts:
| Key | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
maxIntermediateRows | Can be used to lower the value of druid.query.groupBy.maxIntermediateRows for this query. | None |
maxResults | Can be used to lower the value of druid.query.groupBy.maxResults for this query. | None |
useOffheap | Set to true to store aggregations off-heap when merging results. | false |
