2. Agenda
● Druid Deployment @ Netflix
● Scaling & Sketch Strings
● Druid Roadmap
● Q&A

3. Druid
Deployment &
Use Cases
@Netflix

4. Overview
● Druid in Netflix D/W
● Data ingestion
● Deploying Druid @ Netflix
● Use Cases

5. Netflix Data Warehouse Pipeline

7. Druid Ingestion
● Batch ingestion
● Druid hadoop indexer
● Input - Hive Text/Parquet tables
● S3 deep storage

8. Druid Ingestion

9. Druid Ingestion
import BigDataApi as bda
tbl = bda.Table("hive/table_name")
# build spec
spec = bda.druid.DruidSpec.from_table(tbl)
.spec(ingestion_spec.json)
# create a job from the spec
job = bda.genie.DruidIndexerJob(spec)
.cluster(kg.druid.clusters.DRUID_CLUSTER_NAME)
# submit the job…
job.execute()

10. Druid Cluster @ Netflix
● r 4.16 x large instance type
● 0.12.2 version
● ~100s nodes

11. Multitenancy
● Single Tier
● Router
○ Ad hoc
○ Experimental - broker downtime acceptable. Used
for query fine tuning etc.
○ Reporting - pre-defined queries /dashboards

12. Autoscale
● Favor segments in memory
● Autoscale up - cluster disk utilization beyond 80%
● Handle large data ingestion without having to worry
about cluster tripping over

13. Deployment Pipeline
● Spinnaker (https://www.spinnaker.io/)
● Clusters upgraded using red black
○ Jenkins jobs - druid tar ball and debian package
○ Deploy components with new code line
○ Wait for segments to load
○ Switch dns records
○ Scale down old cluster
● Rollback
○ Switch dns back to old cluster

14. Deployment Pipeline

15. Use Cases
● Dashboard backend
● Sub second query times
○ User interactive slice and dice
○ Longer data retention vs Redshift
○ More dimensions vs Redshift
● Custom UI

16. AWS Capacity Planning

17. AWS Capacity Planning

18. AWS Capacity Planning

22. Other use cases
● Payments analysis
● Algorithms comparison
● Security
● Quality of Experience (QoE)

23. Future work
● Real time ingestion
○ Tranquility or Kafka indexing
● Open source T-Digest based Histogram module
● Investigate tiering
● Change auto-scaling policy considering EBS
