Consider this an EXPERIMENTAL feature mostly because it has not been tested yet on a wide variety of long running Druid clusters.
This extension allows users to configure, update, retrieve, and manage metadata stored in Druid's catalog. At present, only metadata about tables is stored in the catalog. This extension only supports MSQ based ingestion.
Configuration
To use this extension please make sure to include druid-catalog
in the extensions load list.
Catalog Metadata
Tables
A user may define a table with a defined set of column names, and respective data types, along with other properties. When ingesting data into a table defined in the catalog, the DML query is validated against the definition of the table as defined in the catalog. This allows the user to omit the table's properties that are found in its definition, allowing queries to be more concise, and simpler to write. This also allows the user to ensure that the type of data being written into a defined column of the table is consistent with that columns definition, minimizing errors where unexpected data is written into a particular column of the table.
API Objects
TableSpec
A tableSpec defines a table
Property | Type | Description | Required | Default |
---|---|---|---|---|
type |
String | the type of table. The only value supported at this time is datasource |
yes | null |
properties |
Map<String, Object> | the table's defined properties. see table properties | no | null |
columns |
List<ColumnSpec> | the table's defined columns | no | null |
Table Properties
PropertyKeyName | PropertyValueType | Description | Required | Default |
---|---|---|---|---|
segmentGranularity |
String | determines how time-based partitioning is done. See Partitioning by time. Can specify any of the values as permitted for PARTITIONED BY. This property value may be overridden at query time, by specifying the PARTITIONED BY clause. | no | null |
sealed |
boolean | require all columns in the table schema to be fully declared before data is ingested. Setting this to true will cause failure when DML queries attempt to add undefined columns to the table. | no | false |
ColumnSpec
Property | Type | Description | Required | Default |
---|---|---|---|---|
name |
String | The name of the column | yes | null |
dataType |
String | The type of the column. Can be any column data type that is available to Druid. Depends on what extensions are loaded. | no | null |
properties |
Map<String, Object> | the column's defined properties. Non properties defined at this time. | no | null |
APIs
Create or update a table
Update or create a new table containing the given table specification.
URL
POST
/druid/coordinator/v1/catalog/schemas/{schema}/tables/{name}
Request body
The request object for this request is a TableSpec
Query parameters
The endpoint supports a set of optional query parameters to enforce optimistic locking, and to specify that a request is meant to update a table rather than create a new one. In the default case, with no query parameters set, this request will return an error if a table of the same name already exists in the schema specified.
Parameter | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
version |
Long | the expected version of an existing table. The version must match. If not (or if the table does not exist), returns an error. |
overwrite |
boolean | if true, then overwrites any existing table. Otherwise, the operation fails if the table already exists. |
