Application Level Backup and Restore Druid database using KubeStash

KubeStash offers application-level backup and restore functionality for Druid databases. It captures both manifest and logical data backups of any Druid database in a single snapshot. During the restore process, KubeStash first applies the Druid manifest to the cluster and then restores the data into it.

This guide will give you how you can take application-level backup and restore your Druid databases using Kubestash.

Before You Begin

At first, you need to have a Kubernetes cluster, and the kubectl command-line tool must be configured to communicate with your cluster. If you do not already have a cluster, you can create one by using Minikube or Kind.
Now, install KubeDB cli on your workstation and KubeDB operator in your cluster following the steps here and make sure to include the flags --set global.featureGates.Druid=true to ensure Druid CRD and --set global.featureGates.ZooKeeper=true to ensure ZooKeeper CRD as Druid depends on ZooKeeper for external dependency with helm command.
Install KubeStash in your cluster following the steps here.
Install KubeStash kubectl plugin following the steps here.
If you are not familiar with how KubeStash backup and restore Druid databases, please check the following guide here.

You should be familiar with the following KubeStash concepts:

To keep everything isolated, we are going to use a separate namespace called demo throughout this tutorial.

$ kubectl create ns demo
namespace/demo created

Note: YAML files used in this tutorial are stored in docs/guides/druid/backup/application-level/examples directory of kubedb/docs repository.

Backup Druid

KubeStash supports backups for Druid instances for various Cluster setups. In this demonstration, we’ll focus on a Druid database with 5 type of nodes (coordinators, historicals, brokers, middlemanagers and routers). The backup and restore process is similar for other Cluster setup as well.

This section will demonstrate how to take application-level backup of a Druid database. Here, we are going to deploy a Druid database using KubeDB. Then, we are going to back up the database at the application level to a GCS bucket. Finally, we will restore the entire Druid database.

Deploy Sample Druid Database

Create External Dependency (Deep Storage):

One of the external dependency of Druid is deep storage where the segments are stored. It is a storage mechanism that Apache Druid does not provide. Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, or Azure Blob Storage, S3-compatible storage (like Minio), or HDFS are generally convenient options for deep storage.

In this tutorial, we will run a minio-server as deep storage in our local kind cluster using minio-operator and create a bucket named druid in it, which the deployed druid database will use.


$ helm repo add minio https://operator.min.io/
$ helm repo update minio
$ helm upgrade --install --namespace "minio-operator" --create-namespace "minio-operator" minio/operator --set operator.replicaCount=1

$ helm upgrade --install --namespace "demo" --create-namespace druid-minio minio/tenant \
--set tenant.pools[0].servers=1 \
--set tenant.pools[0].volumesPerServer=1 \
--set tenant.pools[0].size=1Gi \
--set tenant.certificate.requestAutoCert=false \
--set tenant.buckets[0].name="druid" \
--set tenant.pools[0].name="default"

Now we need to create a Secret named deep-storage-config. It contains the necessary connection information using which the druid database will connect to the deep storage.

apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: deep-storage-config
  namespace: demo
stringData:
  druid.storage.type: "s3"
  druid.storage.bucket: "druid"
  druid.storage.baseKey: "druid/segments"
  druid.s3.accessKey: "minio"
  druid.s3.secretKey: "minio123"
  druid.s3.protocol: "http"
  druid.s3.enablePathStyleAccess: "true"
  druid.s3.endpoint.signingRegion: "us-east-1"
  druid.s3.endpoint.url: "http://myminio-hl.demo.svc.cluster.local:9000/"

Let’s create the deep-storage-config Secret shown above:

$ kubectl create -f https://github.com/kubedb/docs/raw/v2025.3.24/docs/guides/druid/backup/application-level/examples/deep-storage-config.yaml
secret/deep-storage-config created

Let’s deploy a sample Druid database and insert some data into it.

Create Druid CR:

Below is the YAML of a sample Druid CR that we are going to create for this tutorial:

apiVersion: kubedb.com/v1alpha2
kind: Druid
metadata:
  name: sample-druid
  namespace: demo
spec:
  version: 30.0.1
  deepStorage:
    type: s3
    configSecret:
      name: deep-storage-config
  topology:
    routers:
      replicas: 1
  deletionPolicy: WipeOut

Here,

.spec.topology specifies about the clustering configuration of Druid.
.Spec.topology.routers specifies that 1 replica of routers node will get provisioned alongside the essential nodes.

Create the above Druid CR,

$ kubectl apply -f https://github.com/kubedb/docs/raw/v2025.3.24/docs/guides/druid/backup/application-level/examples/sample-druid.yaml
druid.kubedb.com/sample-druid created

KubeDB will deploy a Druid database according to the above specification. It will also create the necessary Secrets and Services to access the database.

Let’s check if the database is ready to use,

$ kubectl get druids.kubedb.com -n demo
NAME           TYPE                  VERSION   STATUS   AGE
sample-druid   kubedb.com/v1alpha2   30.0.1    Ready    4m14s

The database is Ready. Verify that KubeDB has created a Secret and a Service for this database using the following commands,

$ kubectl get secret -n demo -l=app.kubernetes.io/instance=sample-druid
NAME                      TYPE                       DATA   AGE
sample-druid-admin-cred   kubernetes.io/basic-auth   2      2m34s
sample-druid-config       Opaque                     11     2m34s

$ kubectl get service -n demo -l=app.kubernetes.io/instance=sample-druid
NAME                        TYPE        CLUSTER-IP       EXTERNAL-IP   PORT(S)                                                 AGE
sample-druid-brokers        ClusterIP   10.128.135.115   <none>        8082/TCP                                                2m53s
sample-druid-coordinators   ClusterIP   10.128.16.222    <none>        8081/TCP                                                2m53s
sample-druid-pods           ClusterIP   None             <none>        8081/TCP,8090/TCP,8083/TCP,8091/TCP,8082/TCP,8888/TCP   2m53s
sample-druid-routers        ClusterIP   10.128.191.186   <none>        8888/TCP                                                2m53s

Here, we have to use service sample-druid-routers and secret sample-druid-admin-cred to connect with the database. KubeDB creates an AppBinding CR that holds the necessary information to connect with the database.

Verify Internal Dependencies:

kubectl get mysql,zk -n demo
NAME                                           VERSION   STATUS   AGE
mysql.kubedb.com/sample-druid-mysql-metadata   8.0.35    Ready    6m31s

NAME                                   TYPE                  VERSION   STATUS   AGE
zookeeper.kubedb.com/sample-druid-zk   kubedb.com/v1alpha2   3.7.2     Ready    6m31s

We can see that KubeDB has deployed a MySQL and a ZooKeeper instance as External dependencies of the Druid cluster.

Verify AppBinding:

Verify that the AppBinding has been created successfully using the following command,

$ kubectl get appbindings -n demo
NAME                          TYPE                   VERSION   AGE
sample-druid                  kubedb.com/druid       30.0.1    4m7s
sample-druid-mysql-metadata   kubedb.com/mysql       8.0.35    6m31s
sample-druid-zk               kubedb.com/zookeeper   3.7.2     6m34s

Here sample-druid is the AppBinding of Druid, while sample-druid-mysql-metadata and sample-druid-zk are the AppBinding of MySQL and ZooKeeper instances that KubeDB has deployed as the External dependencies of Druid

Let’s check the YAML of the AppBinding of druid,

$ kubectl get appbindings -n demo sample-druid -o yaml

apiVersion: appcatalog.appscode.com/v1alpha1
kind: AppBinding

  secret:
    name: sample-druid-admin-cred
  type: kubedb.com/druid
  version: 30.0.1

KubeStash uses the AppBinding CR to connect with the target database. It requires the following two fields to be set in AppBinding’s .spec section.

.spec.clientConfig.service.name specifies the name of the Service that connects to the database.
.spec.secret specifies the name of the Secret that holds necessary credentials to access the database.
spec.type specifies the types of the app that this AppBinding is pointing to. KubeDB generated AppBinding follows the following format: <app group>/<app resource type>.

Insert Sample Data:

We can access the web console of Druid database from any browser by port-forwarding the routers. Let’s port-forward the port 8888 to local machine:

kubectl port-forward -n demo svc/sample-druid-routers 8888
Forwarding from 127.0.0.1:8888 -> 8888
Forwarding from [::1]:8888 -> 8888

Now hit the http://localhost:8888 from any browser, and you will be prompted to provide the credential of the druid database. By following the steps discussed below, you can get the credential generated by the KubeDB operator for your Druid database.

Connection information:

Username:

$ kubectl get secret -n demo sample-druid-admin-cred -o jsonpath='{.data.username}' | base64 -d
admin

Password:

$ kubectl get secret -n demo sample-druid-admin-cred -o jsonpath='{.data.password}' | base64 -d
DqG5E63NtklAkxqC

After providing the credentials correctly, you should be able to access the web console like shown below.

lifecycle

Now select the Load Data option and then select Batch - classic from the drop-down menu.

lifecycle

Select Example data and click Load example to insert the example Wikipedia Edits datasource.

lifecycle

After clicking Next multiple times, click Submit

lifecycle

Within a minute status of the ingestion task should become SUCCESS

lifecycle

Now, we are ready to backup the database.

Prepare Backend

We are going to store our backed up data into a GCS bucket. We have to create a Secret with necessary credentials and a BackupStorage CR to use this backend. If you want to use a different backend, please read the respective backend configuration doc from here.

Create Secret:

Let’s create a secret called gcs-secret with access credentials to our desired GCS bucket,

$ echo -n '<your-project-id>' > GOOGLE_PROJECT_ID
$ cat /path/to/downloaded-sa-key.json > GOOGLE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_JSON_KEY
$ kubectl create secret generic -n demo gcs-secret \
    --from-file=./GOOGLE_PROJECT_ID \
    --from-file=./GOOGLE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_JSON_KEY
secret/gcs-secret created

Create BackupStorage:

Now, create a BackupStorage using this secret. Below is the YAML of BackupStorage CR we are going to create,

apiVersion: storage.kubestash.com/v1alpha1
kind: BackupStorage
metadata:
  name: gcs-storage
  namespace: demo
spec:
  storage:
    provider: gcs
    gcs:
      bucket: kubestash-qa
      prefix: druid
      secretName: gcs-secret
  usagePolicy:
    allowedNamespaces:
      from: All
  default: true
  deletionPolicy: Delete

Let’s create the BackupStorage we have shown above,

$ kubectl apply -f https://github.com/kubedb/docs/raw/v2025.3.24/docs/guides/druid/backup/application-level/examples/backupstorage.yaml
backupstorage.storage.kubestash.com/gcs-storage created

Now, we are ready to backup our database to our desired backend.

Create RetentionPolicy:

Now, let’s create a RetentionPolicy to specify how the old Snapshots should be cleaned up.

Below is the YAML of the RetentionPolicy object that we are going to create,

apiVersion: storage.kubestash.com/v1alpha1
kind: RetentionPolicy
metadata:
  name: demo-retention
  namespace: demo
spec:
  default: true
  failedSnapshots:
    last: 2
  maxRetentionPeriod: 2mo
  successfulSnapshots:
    last: 5
  usagePolicy:
    allowedNamespaces:
      from: All

Let’s create the above RetentionPolicy,

$ kubectl apply -f https://github.com/kubedb/docs/raw/v2025.3.24/docs/guides/druid/backup/application-level/examples/retentionpolicy.yaml
retentionpolicy.storage.kubestash.com/demo-retention created

Backup

We have to create a BackupConfiguration targeting respective sample-druid Druid database. Then, KubeStash will create a CronJob for each session to take periodic backup of that database.

At first, we need to create a secret with a Restic password for backup data encryption.

Create Secret:

Let’s create a secret called encrypt-secret with the Restic password,

$ echo -n 'changeit' > RESTIC_PASSWORD
$ kubectl create secret generic -n demo encrypt-secret \
    --from-file=./RESTIC_PASSWORD \
secret "encrypt-secret" created

Create BackupConfiguration:

Below is the YAML for BackupConfiguration CR to take application-level backup of the sample-druid database that we have deployed earlier,

apiVersion: core.kubestash.com/v1alpha1
kind: BackupConfiguration
metadata:
  name: sample-druid-backup
  namespace: demo
spec:
  target:
    apiGroup: kubedb.com
    kind: Druid
    namespace: demo
    name: sample-druid
  backends:
    - name: gcs-backend
      storageRef:
        namespace: demo
        name: gcs-storage
      retentionPolicy:
        name: demo-retention
        namespace: demo
  sessions:
    - name: frequent-backup
      scheduler:
        schedule: "*/5 * * * *"
        jobTemplate:
          backoffLimit: 1
      repositories:
        - name: gcs-druid-repo
          backend: gcs-backend
          directory: /druid
          encryptionSecret:
            name: encrypt-secret
            namespace: demo
      addon:
        name: druid-addon
        tasks:
          - name: manifest-backup
          - name: mysql-metadata-storage-backup

.spec.sessions[*].schedule specifies that we want to backup at 5 minutes interval.
.spec.target refers to the targeted sample-druid Druid database that we created earlier.
.spec.sessions[*].addon.tasks[*].name[*] specifies that both the manifest-backup and mysql-metadata-storage-backup tasks will be executed.

Note:
To create BackupConfiguration for druid with PostgreSQL as metadata storage update the spec.sessions[*].addon.tasks.name from mysql-metadata-storage-backup to postgres-metadata-storage-restore
When we backup a Druid, KubeStash operator will also take backup of the dependency of the MySQL and ZooKeeper cluster as well.
When we backup a Druid where spec.metadatastorage.externallyManaged is false then KubeStash operator will also take backup of

Let’s create the BackupConfiguration CR that we have shown above,

$ kubectl apply -f https://github.com/kubedb/docs/raw/v2025.3.24/docs/guides/druid/backup/application-level/examples/backupconfiguration.yaml
backupconfiguration.core.kubestash.com/sample-druid-backup created

Verify Backup Setup Successful

If everything goes well, the phase of the BackupConfiguration should be Ready. The Ready phase indicates that the backup setup is successful. Let’s verify the Phase of the BackupConfiguration,

$ kubectl get backupconfiguration -n demo
NAME                  PHASE   PAUSED   AGE
sample-druid-backup   Ready            2m50s

Additionally, we can verify that the Repository specified in the BackupConfiguration has been created using the following command,

$ kubectl get repo -n demo
NAME               INTEGRITY   SNAPSHOT-COUNT   SIZE     PHASE   LAST-SUCCESSFUL-BACKUP   AGE
gcs-druid-repo                 0                0 B      Ready                            3m

KubeStash keeps the backup for Repository YAMLs. If we navigate to the GCS bucket, we will see the Repository YAML stored in the demo/druid directory.

Verify CronJob:

It will also create a CronJob with the schedule specified in spec.sessions[*].scheduler.schedule field of BackupConfiguration CR.

Verify that the CronJob has been created using the following command,

$ kubectl get cronjob -n demo
NAME                                          SCHEDULE      SUSPEND   ACTIVE   LAST SCHEDULE   AGE
trigger-sample-druid-backup-frequent-backup   */5 * * * *             0        2m45s           3m25s

Verify BackupSession:

KubeStash triggers an instant backup as soon as the BackupConfiguration is ready. After that, backups are scheduled according to the specified schedule.

Run the following command to watch BackupSession CR,

$ kubectl get backupsession -n demo -w

NAME                                             INVOKER-TYPE          INVOKER-NAME           PHASE       DURATION   AGE
sample-druid-backup-frequent-backup-1724065200   BackupConfiguration   sample-druid-backup    Succeeded              7m22s

We can see from the above output that the backup session has succeeded. Now, we are going to verify whether the backed up data has been stored in the backend.

Verify Backup:

Once a backup is complete, KubeStash will update the respective Repository CR to reflect the backup. Check that the repository sample-druid-backup has been updated by the following command,

$ kubectl get repository -n demo gcs-druid-repo
NAME             INTEGRITY   SNAPSHOT-COUNT   SIZE          PHASE   LAST-SUCCESSFUL-BACKUP   AGE
gcs-druid-repo   true        4                664.979 KiB   Ready   2m55s                    4h56m

At this moment we have one Snapshot. Run the following command to check the respective Snapshot which represents the state of a backup run for an application.

$ kubectl get snapshots -n demo -l=kubestash.com/repo-name=gcs-druid-repo
NAME                                                            REPOSITORY            SESSION           SNAPSHOT-TIME          DELETION-POLICY   PHASE       AGE
gcs-druid-repo-sample-druid-backup-frequent-backup-1726830540   gcs-druid-repo        frequent-backup   2024-09-20T11:09:00Z   Delete            Succeeded   3m13s

Note: KubeStash creates a Snapshot with the following labels:
kubestash.com/app-ref-kind: <target-kind>
kubestash.com/app-ref-name: <target-name>
kubestash.com/app-ref-namespace: <target-namespace>
kubestash.com/repo-name: <repository-name>
These labels can be used to watch only the Snapshots related to our target Database or Repository.

If we check the YAML of the Snapshot, we can find the information about the backed up components of the Database.

KubeStash uses the mysqldump/postgresdump command to take backups of the metadata storage of the target Druid databases. Therefore, the component name for logical backups is set as dump. KubeStash set component name as manifest for the manifest backup of Druid databases.

Now, if we navigate to the GCS bucket, we will see the backed up data stored in the demo/druid/repository/v1/frequent-backup/dump directory. KubeStash also keeps the backup for Snapshot YAMLs, which can be found in the demo/dep/snapshots directory.

Note: KubeStash stores all dumped data encrypted in the backup directory, meaning it remains unreadable until decrypted.

Restore

In this section, we are going to restore the entire database from the backup that we have taken in the previous section. For this tutorial, we will restore the database in a separate namespace called dev. Now, create the namespace by running the following command:

$ kubectl create ns dev
namespace/dev created

Create RestoreSession:

We need to create a RestoreSession CR.

Below, is the contents of YAML file of the RestoreSession CR that we are going to create to restore the entire database.

apiVersion: core.kubestash.com/v1alpha1
kind: RestoreSession
metadata:
  name: restore-sample-druid
  namespace: demo
spec:
  manifestOptions:
    druid:
      restoreNamespace: dev
      db: true
  dataSource:
    repository: gcs-druid-repo
    snapshot: latest
    encryptionSecret:
      name: encrypt-secret
      namespace: demo
  addon:
    name: druid-addon
    tasks:
      - name: mysql-metadata-storage-restore
      - name: manifest-restore

Here,

.spec.manifestOptions.druid.db specifies whether to restore the DB manifest or not.
.spec.dataSource.repository specifies the Repository object that holds the backed up data.
.spec.dataSource.snapshot specifies to restore from latest Snapshot.
.spec.addon.tasks[*] specifies that both the manifest-restore and logical-backup-restore tasks.

Note:
When we restore a Druid with spec.metadataStorage.externallyManaged set to false (which is false by default), then KubeStash operator will also restore the metadataStorage automatically.
Similarly, if spec.zooKeeper.externallyManaged is false (which is also false by default) then KubeStash operator will also restore the zookeeper instance automatically.
For externally managed metadata storage and zookeeper however, user needs to specify it in spec.manifestOptions.mySQL/spec.manifestOptions.postgres/spec.manifestOptions.zooKeeper to restore those.

Let’s create the RestoreSession CRD object we have shown above,

$ kubectl apply -f https://github.com/kubedb/docs/raw/v2025.3.24/docs/guides/druid/backup/application-level/examples/restoresession.yaml
restoresession.core.kubestash.com/restore-sample-druid created

Once, you have created the RestoreSession object, KubeStash will create restore Job. Run the following command to watch the phase of the RestoreSession object,

$ watch kubectl get restoresession -n demo
Every 2.0s: kubectl get restores... AppsCode-PC-03: Wed Aug 21 10:44:05 2024

NAME             REPOSITORY        FAILURE-POLICY   PHASE       DURATION   AGE
sample-restore   gcs-demo-repo                      Succeeded   3s         53s

The Succeeded phase means that the restore process has been completed successfully.

Verify Restored Druid Manifest:

In this section, we will verify whether the desired Druid database manifest has been successfully applied to the cluster.

$ kubectl get druids.kubedb.com -n dev
NAME           VERSION   STATUS   AGE
restored-druid   30.0.1    Ready    39m

The output confirms that the Druid database has been successfully created with the same configuration as it had at the time of backup.

Verify the dependencies have been restored:

$ kubectl get mysql,zk -n dev
NAME                                           VERSION   STATUS   AGE
mysql.kubedb.com/restored-druid-mysql-metadata   8.0.35    Ready    2m52s

NAME                                   TYPE                  VERSION   STATUS   AGE
zookeeper.kubedb.com/restored-druid-zk   kubedb.com/v1alpha2   3.7.2     Ready    2m42s

The output confirms that the MySQL and ZooKeper databases have been successfully created with the same configuration as it had at the time of backup.

Verify Restored Data:

In this section, we are going to verify whether the desired data has been restored successfully. We are going to connect to the database server and check whether the database and the table we created earlier in the original database are restored.

At first, check if the database has gone into Ready state by the following command,

$ kubectl get druid -n dev restored-druid
NAME             VERSION   STATUS  AGE
restored-druid   30.0.1    Ready   34m

Now, let’s verify if our datasource wikipedia exists or not. For that, first find out the database Sevices by the following command,

Now access the web console of Druid database from any browser by port-forwarding the routers. Let’s port-forward the port 8888 to local machine:

$ kubectl get svc -n dev --selector="app.kubernetes.io/instance=restored-druid"
NAME                          TYPE        CLUSTER-IP       EXTERNAL-IP   PORT(S)                                                 AGE
restored-druid-brokers        ClusterIP   10.128.74.54     <none>        8082/TCP                                                10m
restored-druid-coordinators   ClusterIP   10.128.30.124    <none>        8081/TCP                                                10m
restored-druid-pods           ClusterIP   None             <none>        8081/TCP,8090/TCP,8083/TCP,8091/TCP,8082/TCP,8888/TCP   10m
restored-druid-routers        ClusterIP   10.128.228.193   <none>        8888/TCP                                                10m

kubectl port-forward -n dev svc/restored-druid-routers 8888
Forwarding from 127.0.0.1:8888 -> 8888
Forwarding from [::1]:8888 -> 8888

Then hit the http://localhost:8888 from any browser, and you will be prompted to provide the credential of the druid database. By following the steps discussed below, you can get the credential generated by the KubeDB operator for your Druid database. Connection information:

Username:

$ kubectl get secret -n dev restored-druid-admin-cred -o jsonpath='{.data.username}' | base64 -d
admin

Password:

$ kubectl get secret -n dev restored-druid-admin-cred -o jsonpath='{.data.password}' | base64 -d
DqG5E63NtklAkxqC

After providing the credentials correctly, you should be able to access the web console like shown below. Now if you go to the Datasources section, you will see that our ingested datasource wikipedia exists in the list.

lifecycle

So, from the above screenshot, we can see that the wikipedia datasource we have ingested earlier in the original database and now, it is restored successfully.
