Older versions of Apache Druid (incubating) included a Select query type. Since Druid 0.17.0, it has been removed and replaced by the [Scan query](../querying/scan-query.md), which offers improved memory usage and performance. This solves issues that users had with Select queries causing Druid to run out of memory or slow down.
The Scan query has a different syntax, but supports many of the features of the Select query, including time ordering and limiting. Scan does not include the Select query's pagination feature; however, in many cases pagination is unnecessary with Scan due to its ability to return a virtually unlimited number of results in one call.
