Middle Manager Node

The middle manager node is a worker node that executes submitted tasks. Middle Managers forward tasks to peons that run in separate JVMs. The reason we have separate JVMs for tasks is for log isolation. Each Peon is capable of running only one task at a time, however, a middle manager may have multiple peons.

Quick Start

Running

io.druid.cli.Main server middleManager

With the following JVM configuration:

-Duser.timezone=UTC
-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8

-Ddruid.host=localhost
-Ddruid.port=8091
-Ddruid.service=middleManager

-Ddruid.zk.service.host=localhost

-Ddruid.db.connector.connectURI=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/druid
-Ddruid.db.connector.user=druid
-Ddruid.db.connector.password=diurd
-Ddruid.selectors.indexing.serviceName=overlord
-Ddruid.indexer.runner.startPort=8092
-Ddruid.indexer.fork.property.druid.computation.buffer.size=268435456

druid.indexer.runner.javaOpts	-X Java options to run the peon in its own JVM.	""
druid.indexer.runner.classpath	Java classpath for the peon.	System.getProperty("java.class.path")
druid.indexer.runner.startPort	The port that peons begin running on.	8081
druid.indexer.runner.allowedPrefixes	Whitelist of prefixes for configs that can be passed down to child peons.	"com.metamx", "druid", "io.druid", "user.timezone","file.encoding"
