--- id: index title: "Quickstart" --- In this quickstart, we will download Druid and set it up on a single machine. The cluster will be ready to load data after completing this initial setup. Before beginning the quickstart, it is helpful to read the [general Druid overview](../design/index.md) and the [ingestion overview](../ingestion/index.md), as the tutorials will refer to concepts discussed on those pages. ## Prerequisites ### Software You will need: * Java 8 (8u92+) * Linux, Mac OS X, or other Unix-like OS (Windows is not supported) ### Hardware Druid includes several example [single-server configurations](../operations/single-server.md), along with scripts to start the Druid processes using these configurations. If you're running on a small machine such as a laptop for a quick evaluation, the `micro-quickstart` configuration is a good choice, sized for a 4CPU/16GB RAM environment. If you plan to use the single-machine deployment for further evaluation beyond the tutorials, we recommend a larger configuration than `micro-quickstart`. ## Getting started [Download](https://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi?path=/incubator/druid/{{DRUIDVERSION}}/apache-druid-{{DRUIDVERSION}}-bin.tar.gz) the {{DRUIDVERSION}} release. Extract Druid by running the following commands in your terminal: ```bash tar -xzf apache-druid-{{DRUIDVERSION}}-bin.tar.gz cd apache-druid-{{DRUIDVERSION}} ``` In the package, you should find: * `DISCLAIMER`, `LICENSE`, and `NOTICE` files * `bin/*` - scripts useful for this quickstart * `conf/*` - example configurations for single-server and clustered setup * `extensions/*` - core Druid extensions * `hadoop-dependencies/*` - Druid Hadoop dependencies * `lib/*` - libraries and dependencies for core Druid * `quickstart/*` - configuration files, sample data, and other files for the quickstart tutorials ## Download Zookeeper Druid has a dependency on [Apache ZooKeeper](http://zookeeper.apache.org/) for distributed coordination. You'll need to download and run Zookeeper. In the package root, run the following commands: ```bash curl https://archive.apache.org/dist/zookeeper/zookeeper-3.4.14/zookeeper-3.4.14.tar.gz -o zookeeper-3.4.14.tar.gz tar -xzf zookeeper-3.4.14.tar.gz mv zookeeper-3.4.14 zk ``` The startup scripts for the tutorial will expect the contents of the Zookeeper tarball to be located at `zk` under the apache-druid-{{DRUIDVERSION}} package root. ## Start up Druid services The following commands will assume that you are using the `micro-quickstart` single-machine configuration. If you are using a different configuration, the `bin` directory has equivalent scripts for each configuration, such as `bin/start-single-server-small`. From the apache-druid-{{DRUIDVERSION}} package root, run the following command: ```bash ./bin/start-micro-quickstart ``` This will bring up instances of Zookeeper and the Druid services, all running on the local machine, e.g.: ```bash $ ./bin/start-micro-quickstart [Fri May 3 11:40:50 2019] Running command[zk], logging to[/apache-druid-{{DRUIDVERSION}}/var/sv/zk.log]: bin/run-zk conf [Fri May 3 11:40:50 2019] Running command[coordinator-overlord], logging to[/apache-druid-{{DRUIDVERSION}}/var/sv/coordinator-overlord.log]: bin/run-druid coordinator-overlord conf/druid/single-server/micro-quickstart [Fri May 3 11:40:50 2019] Running command[broker], logging to[/apache-druid-{{DRUIDVERSION}}/var/sv/broker.log]: bin/run-druid broker conf/druid/single-server/micro-quickstart [Fri May 3 11:40:50 2019] Running command[router], logging to[/apache-druid-{{DRUIDVERSION}}/var/sv/router.log]: bin/run-druid router conf/druid/single-server/micro-quickstart [Fri May 3 11:40:50 2019] Running command[historical], logging to[/apache-druid-{{DRUIDVERSION}}/var/sv/historical.log]: bin/run-druid historical conf/druid/single-server/micro-quickstart [Fri May 3 11:40:50 2019] Running command[middleManager], logging to[/apache-druid-{{DRUIDVERSION}}/var/sv/middleManager.log]: bin/run-druid middleManager conf/druid/single-server/micro-quickstart ``` All persistent state such as the cluster metadata store and segments for the services will be kept in the `var` directory under the apache-druid-{{DRUIDVERSION}} package root. Logs for the services are located at `var/sv`. Later on, if you'd like to stop the services, CTRL-C to exit the `bin/start-micro-quickstart` script, which will terminate the Druid processes. Once the cluster has started, you can navigate to [http://localhost:8888](http://localhost:8888). The [Druid router process](../design/router.md), which serves the [Druid console](../operations/druid-console.md), resides at this address. ![Druid console](../assets/tutorial-quickstart-01.png "Druid console") It takes a few seconds for all the Druid processes to fully start up. If you open the console immediately after starting the services, you may see some errors that you can safely ignore. ## Loading data ### Tutorial dataset For the following data loading tutorials, we have included a sample data file containing Wikipedia page edit events that occurred on 2015-09-12. This sample data is located at `quickstart/tutorial/wikiticker-2015-09-12-sampled.json.gz` from the Druid package root. The page edit events are stored as JSON objects in a text file. The sample data has the following columns, and an example event is shown below: * added * channel * cityName * comment * countryIsoCode * countryName * deleted * delta * isAnonymous * isMinor * isNew * isRobot * isUnpatrolled * metroCode * namespace * page * regionIsoCode * regionName * user ```json { "timestamp":"2015-09-12T20:03:45.018Z", "channel":"#en.wikipedia", "namespace":"Main", "page":"Spider-Man's powers and equipment", "user":"foobar", "comment":"/* Artificial web-shooters */", "cityName":"New York", "regionName":"New York", "regionIsoCode":"NY", "countryName":"United States", "countryIsoCode":"US", "isAnonymous":false, "isNew":false, "isMinor":false, "isRobot":false, "isUnpatrolled":false, "added":99, "delta":99, "deleted":0, } ``` ### Data loading tutorials The following tutorials demonstrate various methods of loading data into Druid, including both batch and streaming use cases. All tutorials assume that you are using the `micro-quickstart` single-machine configuration mentioned above. - [Loading a file](./tutorial-batch.md) - this tutorial demonstrates how to perform a batch file load, using Druid's native batch ingestion. - [Loading stream data from Apache Kafka](./tutorial-kafka.md) - this tutorial demonstrates how to load streaming data from a Kafka topic. - [Loading a file using Apache Hadoop](./tutorial-batch-hadoop.md) - this tutorial demonstrates how to perform a batch file load, using a remote Hadoop cluster. - [Writing your own ingestion spec](./tutorial-ingestion-spec.md) - this tutorial demonstrates how to write a new ingestion spec and use it to load data. ### Resetting cluster state If you want a clean start after stopping the services, delete the `var` directory and run the `bin/start-micro-quickstart` script again. Once every service has started, you are now ready to load data. #### Resetting Kafka If you completed [Tutorial: Loading stream data from Kafka](./tutorial-kafka.md) and wish to reset the cluster state, you should additionally clear out any Kafka state. Shut down the Kafka broker with CTRL-C before stopping Zookeeper and the Druid services, and then delete the Kafka log directory at `/tmp/kafka-logs`: ```bash rm -rf /tmp/kafka-logs ```
