This tutorial demonstrates how to compact existing segments into fewer but larger segments.

Because there is some per-segment memory and processing overhead, it can sometimes be beneficial to reduce the total number of segments.
Please check [Segment size optimization](../operations/segment-optimization.html) for details.

For this tutorial, we'll assume you've already downloaded Druid as described in
the [single-machine quickstart](index.html) and have it running on your local machine.

For this tutorial, we'll be using the Wikipedia edits sample data, with an ingestion task spec that will create 1-3 segments per hour in the input data.

The ingestion spec can be found at `quickstart/tutorial/compaction-init-index.json`. Let's submit that spec, which will create a datasource called `compaction-tutorial`:

```bash
bin/post-index-task --file quickstart/tutorial/compaction-init-index.json
```

<div class="note caution">
Please note that `maxRowsPerSegment` in the ingestion spec is set to 1000. This is to generate multiple segments per hour and _NOT_ recommended in production.
It's 5000000 by default and may need to be adjusted to make your segments optimized.
</div>

After the ingestion completes, go to http://localhost:8081/#/datasources/compaction-tutorial in a browser to view information about the new datasource in the Coordinator console.

There will be 24 segments for this datasource, one segment per hour in the input data:

The original 24 segments will eventually be marked as "unused" by the Coordinator and removed, with the new compacted segment remaining.
The original 51 segments will eventually be marked as "unused" by the Coordinator and removed, with the new compacted segments remaining.
By default, the Druid Coordinator will not mark segments as unused until the Coordinator process has been up for at least 15 minutes, so you may see the old segment set and the new compacted set at the same time in the Coordinator, e.g.:
![Compacted segments intermediate state](../tutorials/img/tutorial-compaction-01.png "Compacted segments intermediate state")
The new compacted segment has a more recent version than the original segments, so even when both sets of segments are shown by the Coordinator, queries will only read from the new compacted segment.
