Druid does pre-aggregation (roll-up) of data at ingestion time and is also used at scale (30+ trillion events, ingesting over 1M+ events/s) by numerous large technology companies: http://druid.io/druid-powered.html
Note that the commenter mentioned mid-2014. That page first appeared on (or about) July 29th, 2014[1], and at that time only contained 4 names:
Metamarkets
Netflix
LiquidM
N3twork
So while today Druid may be in use by "numerous large technology companies", at the time the commenter was researching it wasn't showcasing as many large companies.
