Legacy metadata API

This document describes the legacy API endpoints to retrieve datasource metadata from Apache Druid. Use the SQL metadata tables to retrieve datasource metadata instead.

Segment loading​

GET /druid/coordinator/v1/loadstatus

Returns the percentage of segments actually loaded in the cluster versus segments that should be loaded in the cluster.

GET /druid/coordinator/v1/loadstatus?simple

Returns the number of segments left to load until segments that should be loaded in the cluster are available for queries. This does not include segment replication counts.

GET /druid/coordinator/v1/loadstatus?full

Returns the number of segments left to load in each tier until segments that should be loaded in the cluster are all available. This includes segment replication counts.

GET /druid/coordinator/v1/loadstatus?full&computeUsingClusterView

Returns the number of segments not yet loaded for each tier until all segments loading in the cluster are available. The result includes segment replication counts. It also factors in the number of available nodes that are of a service type that can load the segment when computing the number of segments remaining to load. A segment is considered fully loaded when:

  • Druid has replicated it the number of times configured in the corresponding load rule.
  • Or the number of replicas for the segment in each tier where it is configured to be replicated equals the available nodes of a service type that are currently allowed to load the segment in the tier.

GET /druid/coordinator/v1/loadqueue

Returns the ids of segments to load and drop for each Historical process.

GET /druid/coordinator/v1/loadqueue?simple

Returns the number of segments to load and drop, as well as the total segment load and drop size in bytes for each Historical process.

GET /druid/coordinator/v1/loadqueue?full

Returns the serialized JSON of segments to load and drop for each Historical process.

Segment loading by datasource​

Note that all interval query parameters are ISO 8601 strings—for example, 2016-06-27/2016-06-28. Also note that these APIs only guarantees that the segments are available at the time of the call. Segments can still become missing because of historical process failures or any other reasons afterward.

GET /druid/coordinator/v1/datasources/{dataSourceName}/loadstatus?forceMetadataRefresh={boolean}&interval={myInterval}

Returns the percentage of segments actually loaded in the cluster versus segments that should be loaded in the cluster for the given datasource over the given interval (or last 2 weeks if interval is not given). forceMetadataRefresh is required to be set.

  • Setting forceMetadataRefresh to true will force the coordinator to poll latest segment metadata from the metadata store (Note: forceMetadataRefresh=true refreshes Coordinator's metadata cache of all datasources. This can be a heavy operation in terms of the load on the metadata store but can be necessary to make sure that we verify all the latest segments' load status)
  • Setting forceMetadataRefresh to false will use the metadata cached on the coordinator from the last force/periodic refresh. If no used segments are found for the given inputs, this API returns 204 No Content

GET /druid/coordinator/v1/datasources/{dataSourceName}/loadstatus?simple&forceMetadataRefresh={boolean}&interval={myInterval}

Returns the number of segments left to load until segments that should be loaded in the cluster are available for the given datasource over the given interval (or last 2 weeks if interval is not given). This does not include segment replication counts. forceMetadataRefresh is required to be set.

  • Setting forceMetadataRefresh to true will force the coordinator to poll latest segment metadata from the metadata store (Note: forceMetadataRefresh=true refreshes Coordinator's metadata cache of all datasources. This can be a heavy operation in terms of the load on the metadata store but can be necessary to make sure that we verify all the latest segments' load status)
  • Setting forceMetadataRefresh to false will use the metadata cached on the coordinator from the last force/periodic refresh. If no used segments are found for the given inputs, this API returns 204 No Content

GET /druid/coordinator/v1/datasources/{dataSourceName}/loadstatus?full&forceMetadataRefresh={boolean}&interval={myInterval}

Returns the number of segments left to load in each tier until segments that should be loaded in the cluster are all available for the given datasource over the given interval (or last 2 weeks if interval is not given). This includes segment replication counts. forceMetadataRefresh is required to be set.

  • Setting forceMetadataRefresh to true will force the coordinator to poll latest segment metadata from the metadata store (Note: forceMetadataRefresh=true refreshes Coordinator's metadata cache of all datasources. This can be a heavy operation in terms of the load on the metadata store but can be necessary to make sure that we verify all the latest segments' load status)
  • Setting forceMetadataRefresh to false will use the metadata cached on the coordinator from the last force/periodic refresh.

You can pass the optional query parameter computeUsingClusterView to factor in the available cluster services when calculating the segments left to load. See Coordinator Segment Loading for details. If no used segments are found for the given inputs, this API returns 204 No Content

info

Note: Much of this information is available in a simpler, easier-to-use form through the Druid SQL INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES, INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS, and sys.segments tables.

GET /druid/v2/datasources

Returns a list of queryable datasources.

This API is deprecated and will be removed in future releases. Please use SegmentMetadataQuery instead which provides more comprehensive information and supports all dataSource types including streaming dataSources. It's also encouraged to use INFORMATION_SCHEMA tables if you're using SQL.

Returns the dimensions of the datasource.

GET /druid/v2/datasources/{dataSourceName}/metrics

info

This API is deprecated and will be removed in future releases. Please use SegmentMetadataQuery instead which provides more comprehensive information and supports all dataSource types including streaming dataSources. It's also encouraged to use INFORMATION_SCHEMA tables if you're using SQL.

Returns the metrics of the datasource.

GET /druid/v2/datasources/{dataSourceName}/candidates?intervals={comma-separated-intervals}&numCandidates={numCandidates}
