What is Druid?

8. From my point of view
• Druid is a cumbersome version of Elasticsearch (w/o search feature)
• Similar points
• Secondary Index
• DSLs for query
• Flow of Query Processing
• Terms Aggregation ↔ TopN Query, Coordinator ↔ Broker, Data Node ↔ Historical
• Different points
• more complicated to operate
• better with much more data
• better for Ultra High Cardinality
• less GC overhead
• better for Spark Connectivity (for Full Scan)

5. Extending Druid Query

21. Druid Storage Model – 4 characteristics
• Columnar format
• Explicit distinguishes between dimension, metric
• Bitmap index
• Dictionary encoded

22. Druid Storage Model - background
Druid treats dimension and metric separately.
Dimension Metric
• Bitmap Index
• GroupBy Fields
• Argument of Aggregate Function
{
"dimensionsSpec": {
"dimensions": ["country", "device", ...]
},
...
"metricsSpec": [
{ "type": "count", "name": "count" },
{ "type": "doubleSum", "fieldName": "duration", "name": "duration" }
]
}

26. Spark Druid Connector

27. Spark Druid Connector
1. 3 Ways to implement, Our implementation
2. What is needed to implement
3. Sample Codes, Performance Test
4. How to implement

28. Spark Druid Connector - 3 Ways to implement
Druid
Broker
Spark
Driver
DSLSQL Druid
Historical
Spark
Driver
SQL Spark
Executor
• Good if SQL is rewritable to DSL
• But DSL does not support all SQL
• Ex: JOIN, sub-query
• Easy to implement
• No need to understand Druid Index Library
• Ser/de operation is expensive
• Parallelism is bounded to no. of Historical
Select DSL
Large JSON
1st way 2nd way

29. Spark Druid Connector - 3 Ways to implement
Spark
Driver
SQL
• Read Druid segment files directly.
• Similar to the way of reading Parquet
• Difficult to implement
• Need to understand Druid segment library
3rd way
Executor
Segment File
Reads segments using
Druid Library
Allocate Spark executor into Historical Node
We chose this way!

30. spark.read
.format("com.navercorp.ni.druid.spark.druid")
.option("coordinator", "host1.com:18081")
.option("broker", "host2.com:18082")
.option("datasource", "logs").load()

32. Spark Druid Connector – How to implement

33. Spark Druid Connector – How to implement
1. Druid Rest API
2. Druid Segment Library
3. Spark Data Source API

34. Spark Druid Connector – Get table schema
Spark
Driver
Druid
Broker
{
"queryType": "segmentMetaData",
"dataSource": "logs",
"merge": "true"
}
{
"columns": {
"__time": {...},
"country": {...},
"device": {...},
"duration": {...}
...
}
spark.read
.format("...")
.option("coordinator", "...")
.option("broker", "...")
.option("datasource", "logs")
.load()
Schema

35. Spark Druid Connector – Partition pruning
WHERE country = 'Korea'
AND_time = CAST('2018-05-23' AS TIMESTAMP)
Segments can be pruned
by interval condition and single dimension
partition
1. Interval condition
serverview returns only matched segments
2. Single dimension partition
compare start and end with given filter
Spark
Driver
Druid
Coordinator
GET /.../logs/intervals/2018-05-23/serverview
[
{
"segment": {
"shardSpec": {
"dimension": "country",
"start": "null", "end":
"b" ...},
"id": "segmentId"
},
"servers": [
{"host": "host1"},
{"host": "host2"}
]
},
{ "segment": ...},
...
}

36. Spark Druid Connector – Spark filters to Druid filters
WHERE country = 'Korea'
AND city = 'Seoul'
buildScan(requiredColumns: [country, device, duration],
filters: [EqualTo(country, Korea), EqualTo(city, Seoul)])
Spark's filters are converted into Druid's DimFilter
private def toDruidDimFilters(sparkFilter: Filter): DimFilter = {
sparkFilter match {
...
case EqualTo(attribute, value) => {
new SelectorDimFilter(
attribute,
value.toString,
null
)
case GreaterThan(attribute, value) => ...

37. Spark Druid Connector – Attach locality to RACK_LOCAL
• getPreferredLocations(partition: Partition)
• Returns Hosts having Druid Segments
• Caution: Spark does not always guarantee that executors launch on preferred locations
• Set spark.locality.wait to very large value

38. Spark Druid Connector - How to implement
Done!
Now Spark executor can read records from Druid segment files.

10 937,078 10 937,078
100x Faster!
TopN – 100x faster than GroupBy
1. rank changed
rank 5 → rank 6
2. value changed
1,099,028 → 1,079,242

45. TopN – Limitations
1. TopN only has one dimension.
2. Unstable result when replication factor is larger than 2.

46. Plywood

65. Extending Druid Query - Motivation
2 queries are needed to make following table
1. Total 3 times TopN query for 3 countries
2. Aggregation query for total duration
Country SUM(duration) Ratio over total duration
korea 225 20%
uk 171 15.2%
usa 33 2.9%
Can we do it at once?

66. Extending Druid Query - Background
Yes we can!
Just do TopN operation and SUM operation simultaneously!

68. Huge intermediate files with MapReduce
• Druid's default Batch Ingestion use MapReduce
• To ingest 1.4GB Parquet file (Single Dim. Partition)
• Read: 16.6GB
• Write: 20.5GB
• Total: 41.1GB
Druid Spark Batch

69. We modified Original Druid Spark Batch
• https://github.com/metamx/druid-spark-batch
• Original version of Druid Spark Batch from Metamarket (creator of Druid)
• We added some features
• Parquet input
• Single Dimension Partition
• Query Granularity
• Same Ingest spec with Druid MapReduce Batch
