Why teams connect Apache Druid and StarRocks

Keep tables consistent across Apache Druid and StarRocks, for a migration, a multi-warehouse stack, or a dataset two platforms both need.

Companies end up with two warehouses for practical reasons: a migration in progress, teams that standardized on different platforms, an acquisition, or tools that only connect to one of them. The result is the same dataset maintained twice, with duplicated pipelines and numbers that almost match.

Stacksync syncs tables between Apache Druid and StarRocks continuously, in either or both directions. Rows changed on one platform appear on the other within seconds, with schema and type mapping handled, so both warehouses answer questions with the same data.

Common use cases

  • Query aggregated event metrics from Druid and sync them into CRM account fields for usage-based selling.
  • Feed operational records into Druid via batch ingestion so analysts get interactive slice-and-dice on fresh data.
  • Continuously apply upserts from operational databases into Primary Key tables to keep analytics current
  • Serve customer-facing analytics from SaaS data synced into one analytical store

Serve tools that only connect to one platform

Mirror the datasets a BI tool, notebook, or application needs onto the platform it can actually reach.

Shared datasets across teams

Where different teams run different warehouses, sync the curated tables both rely on so their metrics agree by construction.

Consolidation after M&A

Bring the acquired company's warehouse data across continuously instead of through one-off dumps.

What you can sync between Apache Druid and StarRocks

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

Apache Druid objects StarRocks objects
Datasources The table-like unit of storage and querying, the main target of reads and ingestion. Views Logical views for shaping analytical reads.
Segments Time-partitioned immutable files that hold datasource data; ingestion produces them. Partitions Time or range partitions that scope loads and retention.
Dimensions String and categorical columns used for filtering and grouping in synced queries. Columns Columnar storage with types mapped from source systems during sync.
Metrics Numeric columns, often pre-aggregated at ingestion via rollup. Databases Top-level namespaces addressed exactly as in MySQL clients.
Ingestion Supervisors Long-running specs that pull from streams like Kafka; the write path into Druid. Tables Defined with a table model (Primary Key, Unique Key, Aggregate, Duplicate Key) that determines update behavior.
Lookups Key-value mappings joined at query time, refreshable from external systems. Materialized views Automatically maintained rollups used to accelerate queries on synced data.

How the Apache Druid and StarRocks connectors work

Apache Druid

Integration surface
REST API (SQL over HTTP and native JSON queries); JDBC via Avatica
Authentication
Deployment-dependent: basic authentication or an authenticator extension; often fronted by a proxy
Change detection
Not applicable for reads out (polling by time interval); data enters Druid through streaming or batch ingestion rather than row updates
Capabilities
read · write
Rate limits
No fixed API quotas; query concurrency is bounded by broker and historical node capacity

StarRocks

Integration surface
MySQL wire protocol for SQL; HTTP-based Stream Load API for ingestion
Authentication
Database credentials (MySQL-compatible username/password)
Change detection
Query-based polling when reading; StarRocks is most often the destination side of a sync
Capabilities
read · write
Rate limits
Ingestion throughput is bounded by cluster resources rather than API quotas
