Pinot Data Explorer

Once you have set up the Cluster, you can start exploring the data and the APIs using the Pinot Data Explorer.
Navigate to http://localhost:9000 in your browser to open the controller UI.
Cluster Manager
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.

If you want to view the contents of a server, click on its instance name. You'll then see the following:
Pinot Server
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
Query Console
Let us run some queries on the data in the Pinot cluster. Head over 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.
You can also try out the following queries:
1
select playerName, max(hits) 
2
from baseballStats 
3
group by playerName 
4
order by max(hits) desc
Copied!
1
select sum(hits), sum(homeRuns), sum(numberOfGames) 
2
from baseballStats 
3
where yearID > 2010
Copied!
1
select * 
2
from baseballStats 
3
order by league
Copied!
Pinot supports a subset of standard SQL. For more information, see Pinot Query Language.
