AI Generated Summary
AI-generated. Powered by real user reviews.

1. Pre-aggregate capability which allows to pre-calculate aggregations and save aggregates in segments. Thus, reduces compute and storage costs. 2. Druid UI (0.14+) which has many improvements and allows creating ingestion_specs via UI 3. REST interface...

The ability to modify its configuration could cause a serious threat to the security. Creation of personalized protocol also would mean that new bugs will be created. So we will need more debuggers.
