Stop Answering the Same Question Twice: Interval-Aware Caching for Druid at Netflix Scale
Netflix TechBlog · Databases & Storage
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
