The Apache Druid indexing service is a highly-available, distributed service that runs indexing related tasks.
|
|
|
|
Indexing [tasks](../ingestion/tasks.md) create (and sometimes destroy) Druid [segments](../design/segments.md). The indexing service has a master/slave like architecture.
|
|
|
|
The indexing service is composed of three main components: a [Peon](../design/peons.md) component that can run a single task, a [Middle Manager](../design/middlemanager.md) component that manages Peons, and an [Overlord](../design/overlord.md) component that manages task distribution to MiddleManagers.
|
|
Overlords and MiddleManagers may run on the same process or across multiple processes while MiddleManagers and Peons always run on the same process.
|
|
|
|
Tasks are managed using API endpoints on the Overlord service. Please see [Overlord Task API](../operations/api-reference.md#tasks) for more information.
