Pinot Data Explorer
Pinot Data Explorer is a user-friendly interface in Apache Pinot for interactive data exploration, querying, and visualization.
Once you have set up a cluster, you can start exploring the data and the APIs using the Pinot Data Explorer.
The first screen that you'll see when you open the Pinot Data Explorer is the Cluster Manager. The Cluster Manager provides a UI to operate and manage your cluster.

To view the baseballStats table, click on its name, which will show the following screen:
baseballStats Table
From this screen, we can edit or delete the table, edit or adjust its schema, as well as several other operations.
For example, if we want to add yearID to the list of inverted indexes, click on Edit Table, add the extra column, and click Save:
Edit Table
Let's run some queries on the data in the Pinot cluster. Navigate to Query Console to see the querying interface.
We can see our
baseballStats table listed on the left (you will see meetupRSVP or airlineStats if you used the streaming or the hybrid quick start). Click on the table name to display all the names along with the data types of the columns of the table.You can also execute a sample query
select * from baseballStats limit 10 by typing it in the text box and clicking the Run Query button.Cmd + Enter can also be used to run the query when focused on the console.
Here are some sample queries you can try:
select playerName, max(hits)
from baseballStats
group by playerName
order by max(hits) desc
select sum(hits), sum(homeRuns), sum(numberOfGames)
from baseballStats
where yearID > 2010
select *
from baseballStats
order by league
The Pinot Admin UI contains all the APIs that you will need to operate and manage your cluster. It provides a set of APIs for Pinot cluster management including health check, instances management, schema and table management, data segments management.
