|`timeout` | `druid.server.http.defaultQueryTimeout`| Query timeout in millis, beyond which unfinished queries will be cancelled. 0 timeout means `no timeout` (up to the server-side maximum query timeout, `druid.server.http.maxQueryTimeout`). To set the default timeout and maximum timeout, see [Broker configuration](../configuration/index.md#broker) |
|`priority` | The default priority is one of the following: <ul><li>Value of `priority` in the query context, if set</li><li>The value of the runtime property `druid.query.default.context.priority`, if set and not null</li><li>`0` if the priority is not set in the query context or runtime properties</li></ul>| Query priority. Queries with higher priority get precedence for computational resources.|
|`lane` | `null` | Query lane, used to control usage limits on classes of queries. See [Broker configuration](../configuration/index.md#broker) for more details.|
|`queryId` | auto-generated | Unique identifier given to this query. If a query ID is set or known, this can be used to cancel the query |
|`brokerService` | `null` | Broker service to which this query should be routed. This parameter is honored only by a broker selector strategy of type *manual*. See [Router strategies](../design/router.md#router-strategies) for more details.|
|`useCache` | `true` | Flag indicating whether to leverage the query cache for this query. When set to false, it disables reading from the query cache for this query. When set to true, Apache Druid uses `druid.broker.cache.useCache` or `druid.historical.cache.useCache` to determine whether or not to read from the query cache |
|`populateCache` | `true` | Flag indicating whether to save the results of the query to the query cache. Primarily used for debugging. When set to false, it disables saving the results of this query to the query cache. When set to true, Druid uses `druid.broker.cache.populateCache` or `druid.historical.cache.populateCache` to determine whether or not to save the results of this query to the query cache |
|`useResultLevelCache`| `true` | Flag indicating whether to leverage the result level cache for this query. When set to false, it disables reading from the query cache for this query. When set to true, Druid uses `druid.broker.cache.useResultLevelCache` to determine whether or not to read from the result-level query cache |
|`populateResultLevelCache` | `true` | Flag indicating whether to save the results of the query to the result level cache. Primarily used for debugging. When set to false, it disables saving the results of this query to the query cache. When set to true, Druid uses `druid.broker.cache.populateResultLevelCache` to determine whether or not to save the results of this query to the result-level query cache |
|`bySegment` | `false` | Native queries only. Return "by segment" results. Primarily used for debugging, setting it to `true` returns results associated with the data segment they came from |
|`finalize` | `N/A` | Flag indicating whether to "finalize" aggregation results. Primarily used for debugging. For instance, the `hyperUnique` aggregator returns the full HyperLogLog sketch instead of the estimated cardinality when this flag is set to `false` |
|`maxScatterGatherBytes`| `druid.server.http.maxScatterGatherBytes` | Maximum number of bytes gathered from data processes such as Historicals and realtime processes to execute a query. This parameter can be used to further reduce `maxScatterGatherBytes` limit at query time. See [Broker configuration](../configuration/index.md#broker) for more details.|
|`maxQueuedBytes` | `druid.broker.http.maxQueuedBytes` | Maximum number of bytes queued per query before exerting backpressure on the channel to the data server. Similar to `maxScatterGatherBytes`, except unlike that configuration, this one will trigger backpressure rather than query failure. Zero means disabled.|
|`maxSubqueryRows`| `druid.server.http.maxSubqueryRows` | Upper limit on the number of rows a subquery can generate. See [Broker configuration](../configuration/index.md#broker) and [subquery guardrails](../configuration/index.md#Guardrails for materialization of subqueries) for more details.|
|`maxSubqueryBytes`| `druid.server.http.maxSubqueryBytes` | Upper limit on the number of bytes a subquery can generate. See [Broker configuration](../configuration/index.md#broker) and [subquery guardrails](../configuration/index.md#Guardrails for materialization of subqueries) for more details.|
|`serializeDateTimeAsLong`| `false` | If true, DateTime is serialized as long in the result returned by Broker and the data transportation between Broker and compute process|
|`serializeDateTimeAsLongInner`| `false` | If true, DateTime is serialized as long in the data transportation between Broker and compute process|
|`enableParallelMerge`|`true`|Enable parallel result merging on the Broker. Note that `druid.processing.merge.useParallelMergePool` must be enabled for this setting to be set to `true`. See [Broker configuration](../configuration/index.md#broker) for more details.|
|`parallelMergeParallelism`|`druid.processing.merge.pool.parallelism`|Maximum number of parallel threads to use for parallel result merging on the Broker. See [Broker configuration](../configuration/index.md#broker) for more details.|
|`parallelMergeInitialYieldRows`|`druid.processing.merge.task.initialYieldNumRows`|Number of rows to yield per ForkJoinPool merge task for parallel result merging on the Broker, before forking off a new task to continue merging sequences. See [Broker configuration](../configuration/index.md#broker) for more details.|
|`parallelMergeSmallBatchRows`|`druid.processing.merge.task.smallBatchNumRows`|Size of result batches to operate on in ForkJoinPool merge tasks for parallel result merging on the Broker. See [Broker configuration](../configuration/index.md#broker) for more details.|
|`useFilterCNF`|`false`| If true, Druid will attempt to convert the query filter to Conjunctive Normal Form (CNF). During query processing, columns can be pre-filtered by intersecting the bitmap indexes of all values that match the eligible filters, often greatly reducing the raw number of rows which need to be scanned. But this effect only happens for the top level filter, or individual clauses of a top level 'and' filter. As such, filters in CNF potentially have a higher chance to utilize a large amount of bitmap indexes on string columns during pre-filtering. However, this setting should be used with great caution, as it can sometimes have a negative effect on performance, and in some cases, the act of computing CNF of a filter can be expensive. We recommend hand tuning your filters to produce an optimal form if possible, or at least verifying through experimentation that using this parameter actually improves your query performance with no ill-effects.|
|`secondaryPartitionPruning`|`true`|Enable secondary partition pruning on the Broker. The Broker will always prune unnecessary segments from the input scan based on a filter on time intervals, but if the data is further partitioned with hash or range partitioning, this option will enable additional pruning based on a filter on secondary partition dimensions.|
|`debug`| `false` | Flag indicating whether to enable debugging outputs for the query. When set to false, no additional logs will be produced (logs produced will be entirely dependent on your logging level). When set to true, the following addition logs will be produced:<br/>- Log the stack trace of the exception (if any) produced by the query |
|`setProcessingThreadNames`|`true`| Whether processing thread names will be set to `queryType_dataSource_intervals` while processing a query. This aids in interpreting thread dumps, and is on by default. Query overhead can be reduced slightly by setting this to `false`. This has a tiny effect in most scenarios, but can be meaningful in high-QPS, low-per-segment-processing-time scenarios. |
|`sqlPlannerBloat`|`1000`|Calcite parameter which controls whether to merge two Project operators when inlining expressions causes complexity to increase. Implemented as a workaround to exception `There are not enough rules to produce a node with desired properties: convention=DRUID, sort=[]` thrown after rejecting the merge of two projects.|
|`enableJoinFilterPushDown` | `true` | Controls whether a join query will attempt filter push down, which reduces the number of rows that have to be compared in a join operation.|
|`enableJoinFilterRewrite` | `true` | Controls whether filter clauses that reference non-base table columns will be rewritten into filters on base table columns.|
|`enableJoinFilterRewriteValueColumnFilters` | `false` | Controls whether Druid rewrites non-base table filters on non-key columns in the non-base table. Requires a scan of the non-base table.|
|`enableRewriteJoinToFilter` | `true` | Controls whether a join can be pushed partial or fully to the base table as a filter at runtime.|
|`joinFilterRewriteMaxSize` | `10000` | The maximum size of the correlated value set used for filter rewrites. Set this limit to prevent excessive memory use.|
`hyperUnique`, `filtered`, `approxHistogram`, `approxHistogramFold`, and `fixedBucketsHistogram` (with numerical input).
- All virtual columns must offer vectorized implementations. Currently for expression virtual columns, support for vectorization is decided on a per expression basis, depending on the type of input and the functions used by the expression. See the currently supported list in the [expression documentation](math-expr.md#vectorization-support).
|`vectorize`|`true`|Enables or disables vectorized query execution. Possible values are `false` (disabled), `true` (enabled if possible, disabled otherwise, on a per-segment basis), and `force` (enabled, and groupBy or timeseries queries that cannot be vectorized will fail). The `"force"` setting is meant to aid in testing, and is not generally useful in production (since real-time segments can never be processed with vectorized execution, any queries on real-time data will fail). This will override `druid.query.default.context.vectorize` if it's set.|
|`vectorSize`|`512`|Sets the row batching size for a particular query. This will override `druid.query.default.context.vectorSize` if it's set.|
|`vectorizeVirtualColumns`|`true`|Enables or disables vectorized query processing of queries with virtual columns, layered on top of `vectorize` (`vectorize` must also be set to true for a query to utilize vectorization). Possible values are `false` (disabled), `true` (enabled if possible, disabled otherwise, on a per-segment basis), and `force` (enabled, and groupBy or timeseries queries with virtual columns that cannot be vectorized will fail). The `"force"` setting is meant to aid in testing, and is not generally useful in production. This will override `druid.query.default.context.vectorizeVirtualColumns` if it's set.|
