Jun 1, 2025

June 2025 monthly summary for apache/druid focused on improving operator usability, reliability, and engineering discipline. Major work delivered across metrics, query correctness, service configuration, and CI standards. Key features delivered: - Worker metrics documentation improvements: Clarified worker/* metrics for Middle Managers and Indexers to reduce onboarding time and misinterpretation (commit cd8b1613a3568c5b0aa7d5f19eb801ca2f1af7c9; #18072). - KafkaSupervisor: removed legacy incremental handoff context and made incremental publishing the default, simplifying task creation and configuration (commit a352190b4d1b1b507e8a38f858ea27c9a887202f; #18120). - CI quality gate enhancement: added a checkstyle rule to prohibit Java class names starting with _ or $, enforcing coding standards in tests (commit b3c32d00392cab29420a2efea98b6a80fc78543d). Major bugs fixed: - Ensure complete query results during intermittent segment loads: flushed response context at end of results accumulation to prevent loss of missing-segments data (commit 5b98ca219273ccb2342b7bf37e86be411f06526c; #18025). - Fix metric dimension names and docs for dropwizard emitter: corrected typos in defaultMetricDimensions.json and removed redundant doc reference (commit 93add1b23ec9cd4d57f2d15469e76f3d8b2a0609; #18129).
