Batch Data Ingestion

Druid can load data from static files through a variety of methods described here.

Hadoop-based Batch Ingestion

Hadoop-based batch ingestion in Druid is supported via a Hadoop-ingestion task. These tasks can be posted to a running instance of a Druid overlord. A sample task is shown below:

{
  "type" : "index_hadoop",
  "spec" : {
    "dataSchema" : {
      "dataSource" : "wikipedia",
      "parser" : {
        "type" : "hadoopyString",
        "parseSpec" : {
          "format" : "json",
          "timestampSpec" : {
            "column" : "timestamp",
            "format" : "auto"
          },
          "dimensionsSpec" : {
            "dimensions": ["page","language","user","unpatrolled","newPage","robot","anonymous","namespace","continent","country","region","city"],
            "dimensionExclusions" : [],
            "spatialDimensions" : []
          }
        }
      },
      "metricsSpec" : [
        {
          "type" : "count",
          "name" : "count"
        },
        {
          "type" : "doubleSum",
          "name" : "added",
          "fieldName" : "added"
        },
        {
          "type" : "doubleSum",
          "name" : "deleted",
          "fieldName" : "deleted"
        },
        {
          "type" : "doubleSum",
          "name" : "delta",
          "fieldName" : "delta"
        }
      ],
      "granularitySpec" : {
        "type" : "uniform",
        "segmentGranularity" : "DAY",
        "queryGranularity" : "NONE",
        "intervals" : [ "2013-08-31/2013-09-01" ]
      }
    },
    "ioConfig" : {
      "type" : "hadoop",
      "inputSpec" : {
        "type" : "static",
        "paths" : "/MyDirectory/example/wikipedia_data.json"
      }
    },
    "tuningConfig" : {
      "type": "hadoop"
    }
  },
  "hadoopDependencyCoordinates": <my_hadoop_version>
}
property description required?
type The task type, this should always be "index_hadoop". yes
spec A Hadoop Index Spec. See Batch Ingestion yes
hadoopDependencyCoordinates A JSON array of Hadoop dependency coordinates that Druid will use, this property will override the default Hadoop coordinates. Once specified, Druid will look for those Hadoop dependencies from the location specified by druid.extensions.hadoopDependenciesDir no
classpathPrefix Classpath that will be pre-appended for the peon process. no

also note that, druid automatically computes the classpath for hadoop job containers that run in hadoop cluster. But, in case of conflicts between hadoop and druid's dependencies, you can manually specify the classpath by setting druid.extensions.hadoopContainerDruidClasspath property. See the extensions config in base druid configuration.

DataSchema

This field is required. See Ingestion.

IOConfig

This field is required.

Field Type Description Required
type String This should always be 'hadoop'. yes
inputSpec Object A specification of where to pull the data in from. See below. yes
segmentOutputPath String The path to dump segments into. yes
metadataUpdateSpec Object A specification of how to update the metadata for the druid cluster these segments belong to. yes

InputSpec specification

There are multiple types of inputSpecs:

static

A type of inputSpec where a static path to the data files is provided.

Field Type Description Required
paths Array of String A String of input paths indicating where the raw data is located. yes

For example, using the static input paths:

"paths" : "s3n://billy-bucket/the/data/is/here/data.gz, s3n://billy-bucket/the/data/is/here/moredata.gz, s3n://billy-bucket/the/data/is/here/evenmoredata.gz"
granularity

A type of inputSpec that expects data to be organized in directories according to datetime using the path format: y=XXXX/m=XX/d=XX/H=XX/M=XX/S=XX (where date is represented by lowercase and time is represented by uppercase).

Field Type Description Required
dataGranularity String Specifies the granularity to expect the data at, e.g. hour means to expect directories y=XXXX/m=XX/d=XX/H=XX. yes
inputPath String Base path to append the datetime path to. yes
filePattern String Pattern that files should match to be included. yes
pathFormat String Joda datetime format for each directory. Default value is "'y'=yyyy/'m'=MM/'d'=dd/'H'=HH", or see Joda documentation no

For example, if the sample config were run with the interval 2012-06-01/2012-06-02, it would expect data at the paths:

s3n://billy-bucket/the/data/is/here/y=2012/m=06/d=01/H=00
s3n://billy-bucket/the/data/is/here/y=2012/m=06/d=01/H=01
...
s3n://billy-bucket/the/data/is/here/y=2012/m=06/d=01/H=23
dataSource

Read Druid segments. See here for more information.

multi

Read multiple sources of data. See here for more information.

TuningConfig

The tuningConfig is optional and default parameters will be used if no tuningConfig is specified.

Field Type Description Required
workingPath String The working path to use for intermediate results (results between Hadoop jobs). no (default == '/tmp/druid-indexing')
version String The version of created segments. no (default == datetime that indexing starts at)
partitionsSpec Object A specification of how to partition each time bucket into segments. Absence of this property means no partitioning will occur. See 'Partitioning specification' below. no (default == 'hashed')
maxRowsInMemory Integer The number of rows to aggregate before persisting. Note that this is the number of post-aggregation rows which may not be equal to the number of input events due to roll-up. This is used to manage the required JVM heap size. no (default == 75000)
leaveIntermediate Boolean Leave behind intermediate files (for debugging) in the workingPath when a job completes, whether it passes or fails. no (default == false)
cleanupOnFailure Boolean Clean up intermediate files when a job fails (unless leaveIntermediate is on). no (default == true)
overwriteFiles Boolean Override existing files found during indexing. no (default == false)
ignoreInvalidRows Boolean Ignore rows found to have problems. no (default == false)
combineText Boolean Use CombineTextInputFormat to combine multiple files into a file split. This can speed up Hadoop jobs when processing a large number of small files. no (default == false)
useCombiner Boolean Use Hadoop combiner to merge rows at mapper if possible. no (default == false)
jobProperties Object A map of properties to add to the Hadoop job configuration. no (default == null)
buildV9Directly Boolean Build v9 index directly instead of building v8 index and converting it to v9 format. no (default = false)
numBackgroundPersistThreads Integer The number of new background threads to use for incremental persists. Using this feature causes a notable increase in memory pressure and cpu usage but will make the job finish more quickly. If changing from the default of 0 (use current thread for persists), we recommend setting it to 1. no (default == 0)

Partitioning specification

Segments are always partitioned based on timestamp (according to the granularitySpec) and may be further partitioned in some other way depending on partition type. Druid supports two types of partitioning strategies: "hashed" (based on the hash of all dimensions in each row), and "dimension" (based on ranges of a single dimension).

Hashed partitioning is recommended in most cases, as it will improve indexing performance and create more uniformly sized data segments relative to single-dimension partitioning.

Hash-based partitioning

  "partitionsSpec": {
     "type": "hashed",
     "targetPartitionSize": 5000000
   }

Hashed partitioning works by first selecting a number of segments, and then partitioning rows across those segments according to the hash of all dimensions in each row. The number of segments is determined automatically based on the cardinality of the input set and a target partition size.

The configuration options are:

Field Description Required
type Type of partitionSpec to be used. "hashed"
targetPartitionSize Target number of rows to include in a partition, should be a number that targets segments of 500MB~1GB. either this or numShards
numShards Specify the number of partitions directly, instead of a target partition size. Ingestion will run faster, since it can skip the step necessary to select a number of partitions automatically. either this or targetPartitionSize
partitionDimensions The dimensions to partition on. Leave blank to select all dimensions. Only used with numShards, will be ignored when targetPartitionSize is set no

Single-dimension partitioning

  "partitionsSpec": {
     "type": "dimension",
     "targetPartitionSize": 5000000
   }

Single-dimension partitioning works by first selecting a dimension to partition on, and then separating that dimension into contiguous ranges. Each segment will contain all rows with values of that dimension in that range. For example, your segments may be partitioned on the dimension "host" using the ranges "a.example.com" to "f.example.com" and "f.example.com" to "z.example.com". By default, the dimension to use is determined automatically, although you can override it with a specific dimension.

The configuration options are:

Field Description Required
type Type of partitionSpec to be used. "dimension"
targetPartitionSize Target number of rows to include in a partition, should be a number that targets segments of 500MB~1GB. yes
maxPartitionSize Maximum number of rows to include in a partition. Defaults to 50% larger than the targetPartitionSize. no
partitionDimension The dimension to partition on. Leave blank to select a dimension automatically. no
assumeGrouped Assume that input data has already been grouped on time and dimensions. Ingestion will run faster, but may choose sub-optimal partitions if this assumption is violated. no

Remote Hadoop Cluster

If you have a remote Hadoop cluster, make sure to include the folder holding your configuration *.xml files in your Druid _common configuration folder.

If you are having dependency problems with your version of Hadoop and the version compiled with Druid, please see these docs.

Using Elastic MapReduce

If your cluster is running on Amazon Web Services, you can use Elastic MapReduce (EMR) to index data from S3. To do this:

  • Create a persistent, long-running cluster.
  • When creating your cluster, enter the following configuration. If you're using the wizard, this should be in advanced mode under "Edit software settings":
classification=yarn-site,properties=[mapreduce.reduce.memory.mb=6144,mapreduce.reduce.java.opts=-server -Xms2g -Xmx2g -Duser.timezone=UTC -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -XX:+PrintGCDetails -XX:+PrintGCTimeStamps,mapreduce.map.java.opts=758,mapreduce.map.java.opts=-server -Xms512m -Xmx512m -Duser.timezone=UTC -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -XX:+PrintGCDetails -XX:+PrintGCTimeStamps,mapreduce.task.timeout=1800000]

Loading from S3 with EMR

  • In the jobProperties field in the tuningConfig section of your Hadoop indexing task, add:
"jobProperties" : {
   "fs.s3.awsAccessKeyId" : "YOUR_ACCESS_KEY",
   "fs.s3.awsSecretAccessKey" : "YOUR_SECRET_KEY",
   "fs.s3.impl" : "org.apache.hadoop.fs.s3native.NativeS3FileSystem",
   "fs.s3n.awsAccessKeyId" : "YOUR_ACCESS_KEY",
   "fs.s3n.awsSecretAccessKey" : "YOUR_SECRET_KEY",
   "fs.s3n.impl" : "org.apache.hadoop.fs.s3native.NativeS3FileSystem",
   "io.compression.codecs" : "org.apache.hadoop.io.compress.GzipCodec,org.apache.hadoop.io.compress.DefaultCodec,org.apache.hadoop.io.compress.BZip2Codec,org.apache.hadoop.io.compress.SnappyCodec"
}

Note that this method uses Hadoop's built-in S3 filesystem rather than Amazon's EMRFS, and is not compatible with Amazon-specific features such as S3 encryption and consistent views. If you need to use these features, you will need to make the Amazon EMR Hadoop JARs available to Druid through one of the mechanisms described in the Using other Hadoop distributions section.

Using other Hadoop distributions

Druid works out of the box with many Hadoop distributions.

If you are having dependency conflicts between Druid and your version of Hadoop, you can try searching for a solution in the [Druid user groups](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/druid- user), or reading the Druid Different Hadoop Versions documentation.

Command Line Hadoop Indexer

If you don't want to use a full indexing service to use Hadoop to get data into Druid, you can also use the standalone command line Hadoop indexer. See here for more info.

IndexTask-based Batch Ingestion

If you do not want to have a dependency on Hadoop for batch ingestion, you can also use the index task. This task will be much slower and less scalable than the Hadoop-based method. See here for more info.

Having Problems?

Getting data into Druid can definitely be difficult for first time users. Please don't hesitate to ask questions in our IRC channel or on our google groups page.
