Quick Start Examples

This section describes quick start commands that launch all Pinot components in a single process.

Pinot ships with QuickStart commands that launch Pinot components in a single process and import pre-built datasets. These QuickStarts are a good place if you're just getting started with Pinot.

Prerequisites

You will need to have installed Pinot locally or have Docker installed if you want to use the Pinot Docker image.

macOS Monterey Users

By default the Airplay receiver server runs on port 7000, which is also the port used by the Pinot Server in the Quick Start. You may see the following error when running these examples:

Failed to start a Pinot [SERVER]
java.lang.RuntimeException: java.net.BindException: Address already in use
	at org.apache.pinot.core.transport.QueryServer.start(QueryServer.java:103) ~[pinot-all-0.9.0-jar-with-dependencies.jar:0.9.0-cf8b84e8b0d6ab62374048de586ce7da21132906]

If you disable the Airplay receiver server and try again, you shouldn't see this error message anymore.
