Scan query
Scan query returns raw Druid rows in streaming mode.
{
"queryType": "scan",
"dataSource": "wikipedia",
"resultFormat": "list",
"columns":[],
"intervals": [
"2013-01-01/2013-01-02"
],
"batchSize":20480,
"limit":5
}
There are several main parts to a scan query:
| property | description | required? |
|---|---|---|
| queryType | This String should always be "scan"; this is the first thing Druid looks at to figure out how to interpret the query | yes |
| dataSource | A String or Object defining the data source to query, very similar to a table in a relational database. See DataSource for more information. | yes |
| intervals | A JSON Object representing ISO-8601 Intervals. This defines the time ranges to run the query over. | yes |
| resultFormat | How result represented, list or compactedList or valueVector. Currently only list and compactedList are supported. Default is list |
no |
| filter | See Filters | no |
| columns | A String array of dimensions and metrics to scan. If left empty, all dimensions and metrics are returned. | no |
| batchSize | How many rows buffered before return to client. Default is 20480 |
no |
| limit | How many rows to return. If not specified, all rows will be returned. | no |
| legacy | Return results consistent with the legacy "scan-query" contrib extension. Defaults to the value set by druid.query.scan.legacy, which in turn defaults to false. See Legacy mode for details. |
no |
| context | An additional JSON Object which can be used to specify certain flags. | no |

The biggest difference between select query and scan query is that, scan query doesn't retain all rows in memory before rows can be returned to client.
It will cause memory pressure if too many rows required by select query.
Scan query doesn't have this issue.
Scan query can return all rows without issuing another pagination query, which is extremely useful when query against historical or realtime node directly.
Legacy mode
The Scan query supports a legacy mode designed for protocol compatibility with the former scan-query contrib extension. In legacy mode you can expect the following behavior changes:
- The __time column is returned as "timestamp" rather than "__time". This will take precedence over any other column you may have that is named "timestamp".
- The __time column is included in the list of columns even if you do not specifically ask for it.
- Timestamps are returned as ISO8601 time strings rather than integers (milliseconds since 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC).
Legacy mode can be triggered either by passing "legacy" : true in your query JSON, or by setting
druid.query.scan.legacy = true on your Druid nodes. If you were previously using the scan-query contrib extension,
the best way to migrate is to activate legacy mode during a rolling upgrade, then switch it off after the upgrade
is complete.
