1. Stop Answering the Same Question Twice: Interval-Aware Caching for Druid at Netflix Scale
Published: 2026-04-06 22:15
Summary:
Older data lingers much longer, because our confidence in its accuracy grows with time.For a 3-hour rolling window, the exponential TTL ensures the vast majority of the query is served from the cache, leaving Druid to only scan the most recent, unsettled data.BucketingIf we were to use a single-level cache key for the query and interval, similar to Druid’s existing result-level cache, we wouldn’t be able to extract only the relevant time range from cached results Without special handling, the cache would treat these empty buckets as gaps and re-query Druid for them every time.We handle this by caching empty sentinel values for time buckets where Druid returned no data Crucially, KVDAL supports independent TTLs on each inner key-value pair, eliminating the need for us to manage cache eviction manually.This two-level structure gives us efficient range queries over the inner keys, which is exactly what we need for partial cache lookups: “give me all cached buckets between time A and time B for query hash X.”ResultsThe biggest win is during high-volume events (e.g., live shows): when many users view the same dashboards, the cache serves most identical queries as full hits, so the query rate reaching Druid is essentially the same with 1 viewer or 100
2. Powering Multimodal Intelligence for Video Search
Published: 2026-04-04 00:44
Summary:
The ultimate challenge lies in harmonizing these heterogeneous data streams to support rich, multi-dimensional queries in real time.Unifying the TimelineTo ensure critical moments aren’t lost across scene boundaries, each model segments the video into overlapping intervals For example, if a model detects a character “Joey” from seconds 2 through 8, the pipeline maps this continuous span of frames into seven distinct one-second buckets.Annotation Intersection: When multiple models generate annotations for the same temporal bucket, such as character recognition “Joey” and scene detection “kitchen” overlapping in second 4, the system fuses them into a single, comprehensive record.Optimized Persistence: These newly enriched records are written back to Cassandra as distinct entities Upon receiving a user request, the system immediately initiates a query preprocessing phase, generating a structured execution plan through three core steps:Query Type Detection: Dynamically categorizes the incoming request to route it down the most efficient retrieval path.Filter Extraction: Isolates specific semantic constraints such as character names, physical objects, or environmental contexts to rapidly narrow the candidate pool.Vector Transformation: Converts raw text into high-dimensional, model-specific embeddings to enable deep, context-aware semantic matching.Once generated, the system compiles this structured plan into a highly optimized Elasticsearch query, executing it directly against the pre-fused temporal buckets to deliver instantaneous, frame-accurate results.Fine-Tuning Semantic SearchTo support the diverse workflows of different production teams, the system provides fine-grained control over search behavior through configurable parameters:Exact vs
3. Smarter Live Streaming at Scale: Rolling Out VBR for All Netflix Live Events
Published: 2026-04-02 21:46
Summary:
That’s more efficient, but it also means that “same nominal bitrate” does not imply “same average number of bits” anymore — so simply reusing our CBR settings risks giving VBR less bitrate on average and losing some quality.In practice, of course, we don’t just encode a single stream; we produce a set of streams at different resolutions and nominal bitrates — often called a bitrate ladder — so devices can adapt to their current network conditions by switching between them Wherever VBR fell more than about one VMAF point below CBR, we increased its nominal bitrate just enough to close the gap Higher‑bitrate streams, where VBR quality was already very close to CBR, were left largely unchanged, including the 8 Mbps stream from the figure.The result is a VBR ladder with slightly higher nominal bitrates on a few low‑end streams, but lower overall traffic, because VBR still drops the bitrate on simple scenes
