Druid extensions
Druid implements an extension system that allows for adding functionality at runtime. Extensions are commonly used to add support for deep storages (like HDFS and S3), metadata stores (like MySQL and PostgreSQL), new aggregators, new input formats, and so on.
Production clusters will generally use at least two extensions; one for deep storage and one for a metadata store. Many clusters will also use additional extensions.
Including extensions

Community Extensions
A number of community members have contributed their own extensions to Druid that are not packaged with the default Druid tarball. If you'd like to take on maintenance for a community extension, please post on dev@druid.apache.org to let us know!
All of these community extensions can be downloaded using pull-deps with the coordinate org.apache.druid.extensions.contrib:EXTENSION_NAME:LATEST_DRUID_STABLE_VERSION.
