:::info
 This page describes SQL-based batch ingestion using the [`druid-multi-stage-query`](../multi-stage-query/index.md)
 extension, new in Druid 24.0. Refer to the [ingestion methods](../ingestion/index.md#batch) table to determine which
 ingestion method is right for you.
:::

The **Query** view in the web console provides a friendly experience for the multi-stage query task engine (MSQ task
engine) and multi-stage query architecture. We recommend using the web console if you do not need a programmatic
interface.

When using the API for the MSQ task engine, the action you want to take determines the endpoint you use:

- `/druid/v2/sql/task` endpoint: Submit a query for ingestion.
- `/druid/indexer/v1/task` endpoint: Interact with a query, including getting its status, getting its details, or canceling it. This page describes a few of the Overlord Task APIs that you can use with the MSQ task engine. For information about Druid APIs, see the [API reference for Druid](../ingestion/tasks.md).

## Submit a query

You submit queries to the MSQ task engine using the `POST /druid/v2/sql/task/` endpoint.

#### Request

The SQL task endpoint accepts [SQL requests in the JSON-over-HTTP form](sql-api.md#request-body) using the
`query`, `context`, and `parameters` fields, but ignoring the `resultFormat`, `header`, `typesHeader`, and
`sqlTypesHeader` fields.

This endpoint accepts [INSERT](../multi-stage-query/reference.md#insert) and [REPLACE](../multi-stage-query/reference.md#replace) statements.

As an experimental feature, this endpoint also accepts SELECT queries. SELECT query results are collected from workers
by the controller, and written into the [task report](#get-the-report-for-a-query-task) as an array of arrays. The
behavior and result format of plain SELECT queries (without INSERT or REPLACE) is subject to change.

## Get the status for a query task

You can retrieve status of a query to see if it is still running, completed successfully, failed, or got canceled.

## Get the report for a query task

A report provides detailed information about a query task, including things like the stages, warnings, and errors.

Keep the following in mind when using the task API to view reports:

- The task report for an entire job is associated with the `query_controller` task. The `query_worker` tasks do not have
  their own reports; their information is incorporated into the controller report.
- The task report API may report `404 Not Found` temporarily while the task is in the process of starting up.
- As an experimental feature, the MSQ task engine supports running SELECT queries. SELECT query results are written into
the `multiStageQuery.payload.results.results` task report key as an array of arrays. The behavior and result format of plain
SELECT queries (without INSERT or REPLACE) is subject to change.
- `multiStageQuery.payload.results.resultsTruncated` denote whether the results of the report have been truncated to prevent
the reports from blowing up

For an explanation of the fields in a report, see [Report response fields](#report-response-fields).

The following table describes the response fields when you retrieve a report for a MSQ task engine using the `/druid/indexer/v1/task/<taskId>/reports` endpoint:

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| `multiStageQuery.taskId` | Controller task ID. |
| `multiStageQuery.payload.status` | Query status container. |
| `multiStageQuery.payload.status.status` | RUNNING, SUCCESS, or FAILED. |
| `multiStageQuery.payload.status.startTime` | Start time of the query in ISO format. Only present if the query has started running. |
| `multiStageQuery.payload.status.durationMs` | Milliseconds elapsed after the query has started running. -1 denotes that the query hasn't started running yet. |
| `multiStageQuery.payload.status.pendingTasks` | Number of tasks that are not fully started. -1 denotes that the number is currently unknown. |
| `multiStageQuery.payload.status.runningTasks` | Number of currently running tasks. Should be at least 1 since the controller is included. |
| `multiStageQuery.payload.status.segmentLoadStatus` | Segment loading container. Only present after the segments have been published. |
| `multiStageQuery.payload.status.segmentLoadStatus.state` | Either INIT, WAITING, SUCCESS, FAILED or TIMED_OUT. |
| `multiStageQuery.payload.status.segmentLoadStatus.startTime` | Time since which the controller has been waiting for the segments to finish loading. |
| `multiStageQuery.payload.status.segmentLoadStatus.duration` | The duration in milliseconds that the controller has been waiting for the segments to load. |
| `multiStageQuery.payload.status.segmentLoadStatus.totalSegments` | The total number of segments generated by the job. This includes tombstone segments (if any). |
| `multiStageQuery.payload.status.segmentLoadStatus.usedSegments` | The number of segments which are marked as used based on the load rules. Unused segments can be cleaned up at any time. |
| `multiStageQuery.payload.status.segmentLoadStatus.precachedSegments` | The number of segments which are marked as precached and served by historicals, as per the load rules. |
| `multiStageQuery.payload.status.segmentLoadStatus.onDemandSegments` | The number of segments which are not loaded on any historical, as per the load rules. |
| `multiStageQuery.payload.status.segmentLoadStatus.pendingSegments` | The number of segments remaining to be loaded. |
| `multiStageQuery.payload.status.segmentLoadStatus.unknownSegments` | The number of segments whose status is unknown. |
| `multiStageQuery.payload.status.errorReport` | Error object. Only present if there was an error. |
| `multiStageQuery.payload.status.errorReport.taskId` | The task that reported the error, if known. May be a controller task or a worker task. |
| `multiStageQuery.payload.status.errorReport.host` | The hostname and port of the task that reported the error, if known. |
| `multiStageQuery.payload.status.errorReport.stageNumber` | The stage number that reported the error, if it happened during execution of a specific stage. |
| `multiStageQuery.payload.status.errorReport.error` | Error object. Contains `errorCode` at a minimum, and may contain other fields as described in the [error code table](../multi-stage-query/reference.md#error-codes). Always present if there is an error. |
| `multiStageQuery.payload.status.errorReport.error.errorCode` | One of the error codes from the [error code table](../multi-stage-query/reference.md#error-codes). Always present if there is an error. |
| `multiStageQuery.payload.status.errorReport.error.errorMessage` | User-friendly error message. Not always present, even if there is an error. |
| `multiStageQuery.payload.status.errorReport.exceptionStackTrace` | Java stack trace in string form, if the error was due to a server-side exception. |
| `multiStageQuery.payload.stages` | Array of query stages. |
| `multiStageQuery.payload.stages[].stageNumber` | Each stage has a number that differentiates it from other stages. |
| `multiStageQuery.payload.stages[].phase` | Either NEW, READING_INPUT, POST_READING, RESULTS_COMPLETE, or FAILED. Only present if the stage has started. |
| `multiStageQuery.payload.stages[].workerCount` | Number of parallel tasks that this stage is running on. Only present if the stage has started. |
| `multiStageQuery.payload.stages[].partitionCount` | Number of output partitions generated by this stage. Only present if the stage has started and has computed its number of output partitions. |
| `multiStageQuery.payload.stages[].startTime` | Start time of this stage. Only present if the stage has started. |
| `multiStageQuery.payload.stages[].duration` | The number of milliseconds that the stage has been running. Only present if the stage has started. |
| `multiStageQuery.payload.stages[].sort` | A boolean that is set to `true` if the stage does a sort as part of its execution. |
| `multiStageQuery.payload.stages[].definition` | The object defining what the stage does. |
| `multiStageQuery.payload.stages[].definition.id` | The unique identifier of the stage. |
| `multiStageQuery.payload.stages[].definition.input` | Array of inputs that the stage has. |
| `multiStageQuery.payload.stages[].definition.broadcast` | Array of input indexes that get broadcasted. Only present if there are inputs that get broadcasted. |
| `multiStageQuery.payload.stages[].definition.processor` | An object defining the processor logic. |
| `multiStageQuery.payload.stages[].definition.signature` | The output signature of the stage. |
