10/10/2024, 7:20 PMIn general, I'm wondering if it's a valid use case to try and use druid for queries that don't have aggregations. Seems like Superset won't even allow me to plot a line chart without an aggregation and a group by in the query.

10/10/2024, 7:37 PMWe have seen a number of folks that have moved from Influx to Druid. Druid does handle queries without aggregation (They're called scan queries natively).
However, generally speaking, time series visualizations will involve aggregation as you will usually want to bucket the events into a fixed granularity for graphing.
