Apache Druid stores data [partitioned by time chunk](../design/storage.md) in immutable
files called [segments](../design/segments.md). Data management operations involving replacing, or deleting,
these segments include:
- [Updates](update.md) to existing data.
- [Deletion](delete.md) of existing data.
- [Schema changes](schema-changes.md) for new and existing data.
- [Compaction](compaction.md) and [automatic compaction](automatic-compaction.md), which reindex existing data to
optimize storage footprint and performance.
