Overall Satisfaction with Apache Druid
We use Druid for rapid ingest of a variety of data sources, including traditional databases, Kafka topics, and data stored in Hadoop. Our users enjoy the easy creation of ingest specs, and the ability to ingest only the relevant columns/fields required for their programs and queries. Being able to translate and enrich data during ingest is a huge plus.
- Rapid ingest
- Limiting ingest to only the relevant fields/columns
- Easy ingest spec creation
- Security configuration is problematic
- Cluster management could have more features
- Troubleshooting incomplete tasks/jobs is a chore
- Integration with S3 storage has saved about 35% on our storage, over HDFS
- The rapid ingest has saved user's time in the query aspects of their applications.
- The ability to ingest from a variety of data sources has made overall user application queries much simpler
