# Tasks Overview
|
|
|
|
Tasks are run on MiddleManagers and always operate on a single data source.
|
|
|
|
Tasks are submitted using POST requests to the Overlord. Please see [Overlord Task API](../operations/api-reference.html#overlord-tasks) for API details.
|
|
|
|
There are several different types of tasks.
|
|
|
|
## Segment Creation Tasks
|
|
|
|
### Hadoop Index Task
|
|
|
|
See [batch ingestion](../ingestion/hadoop.html).
|
|
|
|
### Native Index Tasks
|
|
|
|
Druid provides a native index task which doesn't need any dependencies on other systems.
|
|
See [native index tasks](./native_tasks.html) for more details.
|
|
|
|
### Kafka Indexing Tasks
|
|
|
|
Kafka Indexing tasks are automatically created by a Kafka Supervisor and are responsible for pulling data from Kafka streams. These tasks are not meant to be created/submitted directly by users. See [Kafka Indexing Service](../development/extensions-core/kafka-ingestion.html) for more details.
|
|
|
|
### Stream Push Tasks (Tranquility)
|
|
|
|
Tranquility Server automatically creates "realtime" tasks that receive events over HTTP using an [EventReceiverFirehose](../ingestion/firehose.html#eventreceiverfirehose). These tasks are not meant to be created/submitted directly by users. See [Tranquility Stream Push](../ingestion/stream-push.html) for more info.
|
|
|
|
## Compaction Tasks
|
|
|
|
Compaction tasks merge all segments of the given interval. Please see [Compaction](../ingestion/compaction.html) for details.
|
|
|
|
## Segment Merging Tasks
|
|
|
|
<div class="note info">

|

|
|
## Kill Task
|
|
|
|
Kill tasks delete all information about a segment and removes it from deep storage.
|
|
|
|
Please see [Deleting Data](../ingestion/delete-data.html) for details.
|
|
|
