Druid relies on a distributed filesystem or binary object store for data storage. The most commonly used deep storage implementations are S3 (popular for those on AWS) and HDFS (popular if you already have a Hadoop deployment). In this post, I will show you how to configure non-Amazon S3 deep storage for druid cluster. And for this, I will use Minio as S3 deep storage for druid cluster.
Minio
Minio is a high performance distributed object storage server, designed for large-scale private cloud infrastructure. Amazon S3 API is the de facto standard for object storage. Minio implements Amazon S3 v2/v4 API. It is best suited for storing unstructured data such as photos, videos, log files, backups and container / VM images. Size of an object can range from a few KBs to a maximum of 5TB.
At first you need to install Minio. Follow the instructions described here to install Minio. Minio Server comes up with an embedded web based object browser. Point your web browser to http://127.0.0.1:9000 to ensure your server has started successfully.
Now that you have installed Minio, lets create a bucket named cpbucket (or your preferred one) from the web-ui or you can also do that using Minio Client (mc). See the documentation for more details about mc
.
Druid
Now it’s time to configure druid. In conf/druid/_common/common.runtime.properties
, Add “druid-s3-extensions” to druid.extensions.loadList
. If for example the list already contains “druid-parser-route”, the final property should look like:
druid.extensions.loadList=["druid-parser-route", "druid-s3-extensions"]
The S3 extension for deep storage uses jets3t
under the hood. You need to create a jets3t.properties
on the class path. Let’s create a new file jets3t.properties
inside conf/druid/_common
directory with following:
s3service.s3-endpoint=localhost s3service.s3-endpoint-http-port=9000 s3service.disable-dns-buckets=true s3service.https-only=false
Now comment out the configurations for local storage under “Deep Storage” section and add appropriate values for Minio. After this, “Deep Storage” section should look like:
# # Deep storage # # For local disk (only viable in a cluster if this is a network mount): # druid.storage.type=local # druid.storage.storageDirectory=var/druid/segments # For HDFS: # druid.storage.type=hdfs # druid.storage.storageDirectory=/druid/segments # For S3: druid.storage.type=s3 druid.storage.bucket=cpbucket druid.storage.baseKey=druid/segments druid.s3.accessKey=... druid.s3.secretKey=...
To configure indexing service logs to be stored in Minio, update the “Indexing service logs” section with appropriate values in conf/druid/_common/common.runtime.properties
.
After this, “Indexing service logs” section should look like:
# # Indexing service logs # # For local disk (only viable in a cluster if this is a network mount): # druid.indexer.logs.type=file # druid.indexer.logs.directory=var/druid/indexing-logs # For HDFS: # druid.indexer.logs.type=hdfs # druid.indexer.logs.directory=/druid/indexing-logs # For S3: druid.indexer.logs.type=s3 druid.indexer.logs.s3Bucket=cpbucket druid.indexer.logs.s3Prefix=druid/indexing-logs
And you’re done. Now restart the servers to take effect. To test if it is working, load the sample wikipedia data in druid and see data are stored in Minio using the web-ui
or mc
.
