Automatic compaction API

This topic describes the status and configuration API endpoints for automatic compaction in Apache Druid. You can configure automatic compaction in the Druid web console or API.

In this topic, http://ROUTER_IP:ROUTER_PORT is a placeholder for your Router service address and port. Replace it with the information for your deployment. For example, use http://localhost:8888 for quickstart deployments.

Manage automatic compaction

Create or update automatic compaction configuration

Creates or updates the automatic compaction configuration for a datasource. Pass the automatic compaction as a JSON object in the request body.

The automatic compaction configuration requires only the dataSource property. Druid fills all other properties with default values if not specified. See Automatic compaction dynamic configuration for configuration details.

Note that this endpoint returns an HTTP 200 OK message code even if the datasource name does not exist.

URL

POST /druid/coordinator/v1/config/compaction

Responses

200 SUCCESS

Successfully submitted auto compaction configuration

Sample request

The following example creates an automatic compaction configuration for the datasource wikipedia_hour, which was ingested with HOUR segment granularity. This automatic compaction configuration performs compaction on wikipedia_hour, resulting in compacted segments that represent a day interval of data.

In this example:

wikipedia_hour is a datasource with HOUR segment granularity.
skipOffsetFromLatest is set to PT0S, meaning that no data is skipped.
partitionsSpec is set to the default dynamic, allowing Druid to dynamically determine the optimal partitioning strategy.
type is set to index_parallel, meaning that parallel indexing is used.
segmentGranularity is set to DAY, meaning that each compacted segment is a day of data.

A successful request returns an HTTP 200 OK message code and an empty response body.

Remove automatic compaction configuration

Removes the automatic compaction configuration for a datasource. This updates the compaction status of the datasource to "Not enabled."

Host: http://ROUTER_IP:ROUTER_PORT

Sample response

A successful request returns an HTTP 200 OK message code and an empty response body.

Update capacity for compaction tasks

Updates the capacity for compaction tasks. The minimum number of compaction tasks is 1 and the maximum is 2147483647.

Note that while the max compaction tasks can theoretically be set to 2147483647, the practical limit is determined by the available cluster capacity and is capped at 10% of the cluster's total capacity.

URL

POST /druid/coordinator/v1/config/compaction/taskslots

Query parameters

To limit the maximum number of compaction tasks, use the optional query parameters ratio and max:

ratio (optional)
- Type: Float
- Default: 0.1
- Limits the ratio of the total task slots to compaction task slots.
max (optional)
- Type: Int
- Default: 2147483647
- Limits the maximum number of task slots for compaction tasks.
