+### Hadoop-based ingestion
+
+Hadoop-based ingestion has been deprecated since Druid 32.0. You must now 
opt-in to using the deprecated `index_hadoop` task type. If you don't do this, 
your Hadoop-based ingestion tasks will fail.
+
+To opt-in, set `druid.indexer.task.allowHadoopTaskExecution` to `true` in your 
`common.runtime.properties` file.
+
+[#18239](https://github.com/apache/druid/pull/18239)
+
+### Use SET statements for query context parameters
+
+You can now use SET statements to define query context parameters for a query 
through the [Druid console](#set-statements-in-the-druid-console) or the 
[API](#set-statements-with-the-api).
+
+[#17894](https://github.com/apache/druid/pull/17894) 
[#17974](https://github.com/apache/druid/pull/17974)
+
+#### SET statements in the Druid console
+
+The web console now supports using SET statements to specify query context 
parameters. For example, if you include `SET timeout = 20000;` in your query, 
the timeout query context parameter is set:
+
+```sql
+SET timeout = 20000;
+SELECT "channel", "page", sum("added") from "wikipedia" GROUP BY 1, 2
+```
+
+[#17966](https://github.com/apache/druid/pull/17966)
+
+#### SET statements with the API
+
+SQL queries issued to `/druid/v2/sql` can now include multiple SET statements 
to build up context for the final statement. For example, the following SQL 
query results includes the `timeout`, `useCache`, `populateCache`, `vectorize`, 
and `engine` query context parameters: 
+
+```sql
+SET timeout = 20000;
+SET useCache = false;
+SET populateCache = false;
+SET vectorize = 'force';
+SET engine = 'msq-dart'
+SELECT "channel", "page", sum("added") from "wikipedia" GROUP BY 1, 2
+```
+
+The API call for this query looks like the following: 
+
+```curl
+curl --location 'http://HOST:PORT/druid/v2/sql' \
+--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
+--data '{
+  "query": "SET timeout=20000; SET useCache=false; SET populateCache=false; 
SET engine='\''msq-dart'\'';SELECT  user,  commentLength,COUNT(*) AS \"COUNT\" 
FROM wikipedia GROUP BY 1, 2 ORDER BY 2 DESC",
+  "resultFormat": "array",
+  "header": true,
+  "typesHeader": true,
+  "sqlTypesHeader": true
+}'
+```
+
+This improvement also works for INSERT and REPLACE queries using the MSQ task 
engine. Note that JDBC isn't supported.
+
+#### Improved HTTP endpoints
+
+You can now use raw SQL in the HTTP body for `/druid/v2/sql` endpoints. You 
can set `Content-Type` to `text/plain` instead of `application/json`, so you 
can provide raw text that isn't escaped. 
+
+ [#17937](https://github.com/apache/druid/pull/17937)
+
+### Cloning Historicals (experimental)
+
+You can now configure clones for Historicals using the dynamic Coordinator 
configuration `cloneServers`. Cloned Historicals are useful for situations such 
as rolling updates where you want to launch a new Historical as a replacement 
for an existing one.
+
+Set the config to a map from the target Historical server to the source 
Historical:
+
+```
+  "cloneServers": {"historicalClone":"historicalOriginal"}
+```
+
+The clone doesn't participate in regular segment assignment or balancing. 
Instead, the Coordinator mirrors any segment assignment made to the original 
Historical onto the clone, so that the clone becomes an exact copy of the 
source. Segments on the clone Historical do not count towards replica counts 
either. If the original Historical disappears, the clone remains in the last 
known state of the source server until removed from the `cloneServers` config.
+
+When you query your data using the native query engine, you can prefer 
(`preferClones`), exclude (`excludeClones`), or include (`includeClones`) 
clones by setting the query context parameter `cloneQueryMode`. By default, 
clones are excluded.
+
+As part of this change, new Coordinator APIs are available. For more 
information, see [Coordinator APIs for clones](#coordinator-apis-for-clones).

[#17956](https://github.com/apache/druid/pull/17956) 
+
+### Embedded kill tasks on the Overlord (Experimental)
+
+You can now run kill tasks directly on the Overlord itself. Embedded kill 
tasks provide several benefits; they:
+
+- Kill segments as soon as they're eligible 
+- Don't take up tasks slot
+- finish faster since they use optimized metadata queries and don't launch a 
new JVM
+- Kill a small number of segments per task, ensuring locks on an interval 
aren't held for too long
+- Skip locked intervals to avoid head-of-line blocking
+- Require minimal configuration
+- Can keep up with a large number of unused segments in the cluster
+
+This feature is controlled by the following configs:
+
+- `druid.manager.segments.killUnused.enabled` - Whether the feature is enabled 
or not (Defaults to `false`)
+- `druid.manager.segments.killUnused.bufferPeriod` - The amount of time that a 
segment must be unused before it is able to be permanently removed from 
metadata and deep storage. This can serve as a buffer period to prevent data 
loss if data ends up being needed after being marked unused (Defaults to `P30D`)
+
+To use embedded kill tasks, you need to have segment metadata cache enabled.
+
+As part of this feature, [new metrics](#overlord-kill-task-metrics) have been 
added.
+
+[#18028](https://github.com/apache/druid/pull/18028) 
[#18124](https://github.com/apache/druid/pull/18124)
+
+### Preferred tier selection 
+You can now configure the Broker service to prefer  Historicals on a specific 
tier. This can help ensure Druid executes queries within the same availability 
zone if you have Druid deployed across multiple availability zones.
+
+[#18136](https://github.com/apache/druid/pull/18136)
+
+### Dart improvements 
+
+The Dart query engine now uses the `/druid/v2/sql` endpoint like other SQL 
query engines. The former Dart specific endpoint is no longer supported. To use 
Dart for a query, include the `engine` query context parameter and set it to 
`msq-dart`.
+
+[#18003](https://github.com/apache/druid/pull/18003) 
[#18003](https://github.com/apache/druid/pull/18003)
+
+Enabling Dart remains the same, add the following line to your 
`broker/runtime.properties` and `historical/runtime.properties` files:
+
+```
+druid.msq.dart.enabled = true
+```
+
+Additionally, Dart now queries real-time tasks by default. You can control 
this behavior by setting the query context parameter `includeSegmentSource` to 
`REALTIME` (default) or `NONE`, in a similar way to MSQ tasks. You can also run 
synchronous or asynchronous queries.

 ## Functional area and related changes
 
 This section contains detailed release notes separated by areas.
 
 ### Web console
 
-#### Other web console improvements
+- You can now assign tiered replications to tiers that aren't currently online 
[#18050](https://github.com/apache/druid/pull/18050)
+- You can now filter tasks by the error in the Task view 
[#18057](https://github.com/apache/druid/pull/18057)
+- Improved SQL autocomplete and added JSON autocomplete 
[#18126](https://github.com/apache/druid/pull/18126)
+- Changed how the web console determines what functions are available, 
improving things like auto-completion 
[#18214](https://github.com/apache/druid/pull/18214)
+- Updated the web console to use the Overlord APIs instead of Coordinator APIs 
when managing segments, such as marking them as unused 
[#18172](https://github.com/apache/druid/pull/18172)
 
 ### Ingestion
 
-#### SQL-based ingestion
-
-##### Other SQL-based ingestion improvements
+- Improved concurrency for batch and streaming ingestion tasks 
[#17828](https://github.com/apache/druid/pull/17828)
+- Removed the `useMaxMemoryEstimates` config. When set to false, Druid used a 
much more accurate memory estimate that was introduced in Druid 0.23.0. That 
more accurate method is the only available method now. The config has defaulted 
to false for several releases 
[#17936](https://github.com/apache/druid/pull/17936)
 
 #### Streaming ingestion
 
+##### Multi-stream supervisors (experimental)
+
+You can now use more than one supervisor to ingest data into the same 
datasource. Use the `id` field to distinguish between supervisors ingesting 
into the same datasource (identified by `spec.dataSchema.dataSource` for 
streaming supervisors).
+
+When using this feature, make sure you set `useConcurrentLocks` to `true` for 
the `context` field in the supervisor spec.
+
+[#18149](https://github.com/apache/druid/pull/18149) 
[#18082](https://github.com/apache/druid/pull/18082)
+
+##### Supervisors and the underlying input stream
+
+Seekable stream supervisors (Kafka, Kinesis, and Rabbit) can no longer be 
updated to ingest from a different input stream (such as a topic for Kafka). 
Since such a change is not fully supported by the underlying system, a request 
to make such a change will result in a 400 error. 
+
+[#17955](https://github.com/apache/druid/pull/17955) 
[#17975](https://github.com/apache/druid/pull/17975)
+
 ##### Other streaming ingestion improvements
 
+- Improved streaming ingestion so that it automatically determine the maximum 
number of columns to merge [#17917](https://github.com/apache/druid/pull/17917)
+
+
 ### Querying
 
+#### Metadata query for segments
+
+You can use a segment metadata query to find the list of projections attached 
to a segment.
+
+[#18119](https://github.com/apache/druid/pull/18119) 
[#18223](https://github.com/apache/druid/pull/)
+
+#### `json_merge()` improvement
+
+`json_merge()` is now SQL-compliant when arguments are null. The function now 
returns null if any argument is null. For example, queries like SELECT 
JSON_MERGE(null, null) and SELECT JSON_MERGE(null, '{}') will return null 
instead of throwing an error.
