Pod placement
You can configure the Pod placement of the Druid pods as described in Pod placement.
The default affinities created by the operator are:
- 
Distribute all Pods within the same role (brokers, coordinators, historicals, middle-managers, routers) (weight 70) 
Some of the Druid roles do frequently communicate with each other. To address this, some affinities are created to attract these roles:
For brokers:
- 
Co-locate with historicals (weight 60) 
- 
Co-locate with middle-managers (weight 40) 
For routers:
- 
Co-locate with brokers (weight 40) 
For historicals and middle-managers:
- 
Co-locate the middle-managers and historicals with the hdfs datanodes if hdfs is used as deep storage (weight 50) 
For coordinators:
