In this guide you'll learn how to download and install Apache Pinot as a standalone instance.
This is a quickstart guide that will show you how to quickly start an example recipe in a standalone instance and is meant for learning. To run Pinot in cluster mode, please take a look at Manual cluster setup.
First, let's download the Pinot distribution for this tutorial. You can either build the distribution from source or download a packaged release.
Prerequisites
Install JDK8 or higher.
# define the pinot versionPINOT_VERSION=0.6.0
​
Follow these steps to checkout code from Github and build Pinot locally
Prerequisites
Install Apache Maven 3.6 or higher
# checkout pinotgit clone https://github.com/apache/incubator-pinot.gitcd incubator-pinot​# build pinotmvn install package -DskipTests -Pbin-dist​# navigate to directory containing the setup scriptscd pinot-distribution/target/apache-pinot-incubating-$PINOT_VERSION-bin/apache-pinot-incubating-$PINOT_VERSION-bin
Note that Pinot scripts is located under pinot-distribution/target not target directory under root.
​
Download the latest binary release from Apache Pinot, or use this command
wget https://downloads.apache.org/incubator/pinot/apache-pinot-incubating-$PINOT_VERSION/apache-pinot-incubating-$PINOT_VERSION-bin.tar.gz
Once you have the tar file,
# untar ittar -zxvf apache-pinot-incubating-$PINOT_VERSION-bin.tar.gz​# navigate to directory containing the launcher scriptscd apache-pinot-incubating-$PINOT_VERSION-bin
We'll be using the quick-start scripts provided along with pinot distribution, which do the following:
Set up the Pinot cluster QuickStartCluster
Create a sample table and load sample data
The following quick start scripts are available -
Batch quick start creates the pinot cluster, creates an offline table baseballStats
and pushes sample offline data to the table.
bin/quick-start-batch.sh
That's it! We've spun up a Pinot cluster. You can continue playing with other types of quick start, or simply head on to Pinot Data Explorer to check out the data in the baseballStats
table.
Streaming quick start sets up a Kafka cluster and pushes sample data to a Kafka topic. Then, it creates the Pinot cluster and creates a realtime table meetupRSVP
which ingests data from the Kafka topic.
# stop previous quick start cluster, if anybin/quick-start-streaming.sh
We now have a Pinot cluster with a realtime table! You can head over to Pinot Data Explorer to check out the data in the meetupRSVP
table.
Hybrid quick start sets up a Kafka cluster and pushes sample data to a Kafka topic. Then, it creates the Pinot cluster and creates a hybrid table airlineStats
. The realtime table ingests data from the Kafka topic. Lastly, sample data is pushed into the offline table.
# stop previous quick start cluster, if anybin/quick-start-hybrid.sh
Let's head over to Pinot Data Explorer to check out the data we pushed to the airlineStats
table.
