Broker Node Configuration

For general Broker Node information, see here.

Quick Start

Run:

io.druid.cli.Main server broker

With the following JVM configuration:

-server
-Xmx256m
-Duser.timezone=UTC
-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8

druid.host=localhost
druid.service=broker
druid.port=8080

druid.zk.service.host=localhost

Production Configs

These production configs are using S3 as a deep store.

JVM settings:

-server
-Xmx#{HEAP_MAX}g
-Xms#{HEAP_MIN}g
-XX:NewSize=#{NEW_SIZE}g
-XX:MaxNewSize=#{MAX_NEW_SIZE}g
-XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC
-XX:+PrintGCDetails
-XX:+PrintGCTimeStamps
-Duser.timezone=UTC
-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8
-Djava.io.tmpdir=/mnt/tmp

-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=17071
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false

Runtime Configuration

The broker module uses several of the default modules in Configuration and has the following set of configurations as well:

Property	Possible Values	Description	Default
druid.broker.cache.type	local, memcached	The type of cache to use for queries.	local
druid.broker.balancer.type	random, connectionCount	Determines how the broker balances connections to compute nodes. random choose randomly, connectionCount picks the node with the fewest number of active connections to	random

Local Cache

Property	Description	Default
druid.broker.cache.sizeInBytes	Maximum size of the cache. If this is zero, cache is disabled.	0
druid.broker.cache.initialSize	The initial size of the cache in bytes.	500000
druid.broker.cache.logEvictionCount	If this is non-zero, there will be an eviction of entries.	0

Memcache

Property	Description	Default
druid.broker.cache.expiration	Memcache expiration time .	2592000 (30 days)
druid.broker.cache.timeout	Maximum time in milliseconds to wait for a response from Memcache.	500
druid.broker.cache.hosts	Memcache hosts.	none
druid.broker.cache.maxObjectSize	Maximum object size in bytes for a Memcache object.	52428800 (50 MB)
druid.broker.cache.memcachedPrefix	Key prefix for all keys in Memcache.	druid
