This quickstart gets you started with Apache Druid and introduces you to some of its basic features.
|
||
Following these steps, you will install Druid and load sample
|
||
data using its native batch ingestion feature.
|
||
|
||
Before starting, you may want to read the [general Druid overview](../design/index.md) and
|
||
[ingestion overview](../ingestion/index.md), as the tutorials refer to concepts discussed on those pages.
|
||
|
||
## Requirements
|
||
|
||
You can follow these steps on a relatively small machine, such as a laptop with around 4 CPU and 16 GiB of RAM.
|
||
|
||
Druid comes with several startup configuration profiles for a range of machine sizes.
|
||
The `micro-quickstart`configuration profile shown here is suitable for evaluating Druid. If you want to
|
||
try out Druid's performance or scaling capabilities, you'll need a larger machine and configuration profile.
|
||
|
||
The configuration profiles included with Druid range from the even smaller _Nano-Quickstart_ configuration (1 CPU, 4GiB RAM)
|
||
to the _X-Large_ configuration (64 CPU, 512GiB RAM). For more information, see
|
||
[Single server deployment](../operations/single-server.md). Alternatively, see [Clustered deployment](./cluster.md) for
|
||
information on deploying Druid services across clustered machines.
|
||
|
||
The software requirements for the installation machine are:
|
||
|
||
* Linux, Mac OS X, or other Unix-like OS (Windows is not supported)
|
||
* Java 8, Update 92 or later (8u92+)
|
||
|
||
> Druid officially supports Java 8 only. Support for later major versions of Java is currently in experimental status.
|
||
|
||
> Druid relies on the environment variables `JAVA_HOME` or `DRUID_JAVA_HOME` to find Java on the machine. You can set
|
||
`DRUID_JAVA_HOME` if there is more than one instance of Java. To verify Java requirements for your environment, run the
|
||
`bin/verify-java` script.
|
||
|
||
Before installing a production Druid instance, be sure to consider the user account on the operating system under
|
||
which Druid will run. This is important because any Druid console user will have, effectively, the same permissions as
|
||
that user. So, for example, the file browser UI will show console users the files that the underlying user can
|
||
access. In general, avoid running Druid as root user. Consider creating a dedicated user account for running Druid.
|
||
|
||
## Step 1. Install Druid
|
||
|
||
After confirming the [requirements](#requirements), follow these steps:
|
||
|
||
1. Download
|
||
the [{{DRUIDVERSION}} release](https://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi?path=/druid/{{DRUIDVERSION}}/apache-druid-{{DRUIDVERSION}}-bin.tar.gz).
|
||
2. In your terminal, extract Druid and change directories to the distribution directory:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
tar -xzf apache-druid-{{DRUIDVERSION}}-bin.tar.gz
|
||
cd apache-druid-{{DRUIDVERSION}}
|
||
```
|
||
In the directory, you'll find `LICENSE` and `NOTICE` files and subdirectories for executable files, configuration files, sample data and more.
|
||
|
||
## Step 2: Start up Druid services
|
||
|
||
Start up Druid services using the `micro-quickstart` single-machine configuration.
|
||
|
||
From the apache-druid-{{DRUIDVERSION}} package root, run the following command:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
./bin/start-micro-quickstart
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
This brings up instances of ZooKeeper and the Druid services:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
$ ./bin/start-micro-quickstart
|
||
[Fri May 3 11:40:50 2019] Running command[zk], logging to[/apache-druid-{{DRUIDVERSION}}/var/sv/zk.log]: bin/run-zk conf
|
||
[Fri May 3 11:40:50 2019] Running command[coordinator-overlord], logging to[/apache-druid-{{DRUIDVERSION}}/var/sv/coordinator-overlord.log]: bin/run-druid coordinator-overlord conf/druid/single-server/micro-quickstart
|
||
[Fri May 3 11:40:50 2019] Running command[broker], logging to[/apache-druid-{{DRUIDVERSION}}/var/sv/broker.log]: bin/run-druid broker conf/druid/single-server/micro-quickstart
|
||
[Fri May 3 11:40:50 2019] Running command[router], logging to[/apache-druid-{{DRUIDVERSION}}/var/sv/router.log]: bin/run-druid router conf/druid/single-server/micro-quickstart
|
||
[Fri May 3 11:40:50 2019] Running command[historical], logging to[/apache-druid-{{DRUIDVERSION}}/var/sv/historical.log]: bin/run-druid historical conf/druid/single-server/micro-quickstart
|
||
[Fri May 3 11:40:50 2019] Running command[middleManager], logging to[/apache-druid-{{DRUIDVERSION}}/var/sv/middleManager.log]: bin/run-druid middleManager conf/druid/single-server/micro-quickstart
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
All persistent state, such as the cluster metadata store and segments for the services, are kept in the `var` directory under
|
||
the Druid root directory, apache-druid-{{DRUIDVERSION}}. Each service writes to a log file under `var/sv`, as noted in the startup script output above.
|
||
|
||
At any time, you can revert Druid to its original, post-installation state by deleting the entire `var` directory. You may
|
||
want to do this, for example, between Druid tutorials or after experimentation, to start with a fresh instance.
|
||
|
||
To stop Druid at any time, use CTRL-C in the terminal. This exits the `bin/start-micro-quickstart` script and
|
||
terminates all Druid processes.
|
||
|
||
|
||
## Step 3. Open the Druid console
|
||
|
||
After the Druid services finish startup, open the [Druid console](../operations/druid-console.md) at [http://localhost:8888](http://localhost:8888).
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
It may take a few seconds for all Druid services to finish starting, including the [Druid router](../design/router.md), which serves the console. If you attempt to open the Druid console before startup is complete, you may see errors in the browser. Wait a few moments and try again.
|
||
|
||
|
||
## Step 4. Load data
|
||
|
||
|
||
Ingestion specs define the schema of the data Druid reads and stores. You can write ingestion specs by hand or using the _data loader_,
|
||
as we'll do here to perform batch file loading with Druid's native batch ingestion.
|
||
|
||
The Druid distribution bundles sample data we can use. The sample data located in `quickstart/tutorial/wikiticker-2015-09-12-sampled.json.gz`
|
||
in the Druid root directory represents Wikipedia page edits for a given day.
|
||
|
||
1. Click **Load data** from the Druid console header ().
|
||
|
||
2. Select the **Local disk** tile and then click **Connect data**.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
3. Enter the following values:
|
||
|
||
- **Base directory**: `quickstart/tutorial/`
|
||
|
||
- **File filter**: `wikiticker-2015-09-12-sampled.json.gz`
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Entering the base directory and [wildcard file filter](https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-io/apidocs/org/apache/commons/io/filefilter/WildcardFileFilter.html) separately, as afforded by the UI, allows you to specify multiple files for ingestion at once.
|
||
|
||
4. Click **Apply**.
|
||
|
||
The data loader displays the raw data, giving you a chance to verify that the data
|
||
appears as expected.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Notice that your position in the sequence of steps to load data, **Connect** in our case, appears at the top of the console, as shown below.
|
||
You can click other steps to move forward or backward in the sequence at any time.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
5. Click **Next: Parse data**.
|
||
|
||
The data loader tries to determine the parser appropriate for the data format automatically. In this case
|
||
it identifies the data format as `json`, as shown in the **Input format** field at the bottom right.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Feel free to select other **Input format** options to get a sense of their configuration settings
|
||
and how Druid parses other types of data.
|
||
|
||
6. With the JSON parser selected, click **Next: Parse time**. The **Parse time** settings are where you view and adjust the
|
||
primary timestamp column for the data.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Druid requires data to have a primary timestamp column (internally stored in a column called `__time`).
|
||
If you do not have a timestamp in your data, select `Constant value`. In our example, the data loader
|
||
determines that the `time` column is the only candidate that can be used as the primary time column.
|
||
|
||
7. Click **Next: Transform**, **Next: Filter**, and then **Next: Configure schema**, skipping a few steps.
|
||
|
||
You do not need to adjust transformation or filtering settings, as applying ingestion time transforms and
|
||
filters are out of scope for this tutorial.
|
||
|
||
8. The Configure schema settings are where you configure what [dimensions](../ingestion/data-model.md#dimensions)
|
||
and [metrics](../ingestion/data-model.md#metrics) are ingested. The outcome of this configuration represents exactly how the
|
||
data will appear in Druid after ingestion.
|
||
|
||
Since our dataset is very small, you can turn off [rollup](../ingestion/rollup.md)
|
||
by unsetting the **Rollup** switch and confirming the change when prompted.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
10. Click **Next: Partition** to configure how the data will be split into segments. In this case, choose `DAY` as
|
||
the **Segment granularity**.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Since this is a small dataset, we can have just a single segment, which is what selecting `DAY` as the
|
||
segment granularity gives us.
|
||
|
||
11. Click **Next: Tune** and **Next: Publish**.
|
||
|
||
12. The Publish settings are where you specify the datasource name in Druid. Let's change the default name from
|
||
`wikiticker-2015-09-12-sampled` to `wikipedia`.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
13. Click **Next: Edit spec** to review the ingestion spec we've constructed with the data loader.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Feel free to go back and change settings from previous steps to see how doing so updates the spec.
|
||
Similarly, you can edit the spec directly and see it reflected in the previous steps.
|
||
|
||
> For other ways to load ingestion specs in Druid, see [Tutorial: Loading a file](./tutorial-batch.md).
|
||
|
||
14. Once you are satisfied with the spec, click **Submit**.
|
||
|
||
The new task for our wikipedia datasource now appears in the Ingestion view.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
The task may take a minute or two to complete. When done, the task status should be "SUCCESS", with
|
||
the duration of the task indicated. Note that the view is set to automatically
|
||
refresh, so you do not need to refresh the browser to see the status change.
|
||
|
||
A successful task means that one or more segments have been built and are now picked up by our data servers.
|
||
|
||
|
||
## Step 5. Query the data
|
||
|
||
You can now see the data as a datasource in the console and try out a query, as follows:
|
||
|
||
1. Click **Datasources** from the console header.
|
||
|
||
If the wikipedia datasource doesn't appear, wait a few moments for the segment to finish loading. A datasource is
|
||
queryable once it is shown to be "Fully available" in the **Availability** column.
|
||
|
||
2. When the datasource is available, open the Actions menu () for that
|
||
datasource and choose **Query with SQL**.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
> Notice the other actions you can perform for a datasource, including configuring retention rules, compaction, and more.
|
||
|
||
3. Run the prepopulated query, `SELECT * FROM "wikipedia"` to see the results.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Congratulations! You've gone from downloading Druid to querying data in just one quickstart. See the following
|
||
section for what to do next.
|
||
|
||
|
||
## Next steps
|
||
|
||
After finishing the quickstart, check out the [query tutorial](../tutorials/tutorial-query.md) to further explore
|
||
Query features in the Druid console.
|
||
|
||
Alternatively, learn about other ways to ingest data in one of these tutorials:
|
||
|
||
- [Loading stream data from Apache Kafka](./tutorial-kafka.md) – How to load streaming data from a Kafka topic.
|
||
- [Loading a file using Apache Hadoop](./tutorial-batch-hadoop.md) – How to perform a batch file load, using a remote Hadoop cluster.
|
||
- [Writing your own ingestion spec](./tutorial-ingestion-spec.md) – How to write a new ingestion spec and use it to load data.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Remember that after stopping Druid services, you can start clean next time by deleting the `var` directory from the Druid root directory and
|
||
running the `bin/start-micro-quickstart` script again. You will likely want to do this before taking other data ingestion tutorials,
|
||
since in them you will create the same wikipedia datasource.
