Druid Redis Cache
To use this Apache Druid extension, make sure to include druid-redis-cache extension.
A cache implementation for Druid based on Redis.
Below are the configuration options known to this module.
Note that just adding these properties does not enable the cache. You still need to add the druid.<process-type>.cache.useCache and druid.<process-type>.cache.populateCache properties for the processes you want to enable the cache on as described in the cache configuration docs.
A possible configuration would be to keep the properties below in your common.runtime.properties file (present on all processes) and then add druid.<nodetype>.cache.useCache and druid.<nodetype>.cache.populateCache in the runtime.properties file of the process types you want to enable caching on.
Configuration
common.runtime.properties | Description | Default | Required |
|---|---|---|---|
druid.cache.host | Redis server host | None | yes |
druid.cache.port | Redis server port | None | yes |
druid.cache.expiration | Expiration(in milliseconds) for cache entries | 24 * 3600 * 1000 | no |
druid.cache.timeout | Timeout(in milliseconds) for get cache entries from Redis | 2000 | no |
druid.cache.maxTotalConnections | Max total connections to Redis | 8 | no |
druid.cache.maxIdleConnections | Max idle connections to Redis | 8 | no |
druid.cache.minIdleConnections | Min idle connections to Redis | 0 | no |
Enabling
To enable the redis cache, include this module on the loadList and set druid.cache.type to redis in your properties.
Metrics
In addition to the normal cache metrics, the redis cache implementation also reports the following in both total and delta
| Metric | Description | Normal value |
|---|---|---|
query/cache/redis/*/requests | Count of requests to redis cache | whatever request to redis will increase request count by 1 |
