# Performance Optimization Configurations

#### Enabling Server Side Segment Stream Download-Untar with rate limiter:

Pinot server supports segment download-untar with rate limiter, which reduces the bytes written to disk and optimizes disk bandwidth usage <https://github.com/apache/pinot/pull/8753>. This feature involves the following server level configs

```
pinot.server.instance.segment.stream.download.untar : true
// enable stream download and untar 
pinot.server.instance.segment.stream.download.untar.rate.limit.bytes.per.sec : 100000000
// the max download-untar rate is limited to 100000000 bytes/sec
```

Another useful config is:

```
pinot.server.instance.table.level.max.parallel.segment.downloads : 4
```

This helps to limit the number of max parallel number of segment download per table, at server level

#### Enabling Netty Native TLS:

Apache Pinot supports using native TLS library <https://netty.io/wiki/forked-tomcat-native.html> for broker-server transmission, which would potentially boost TLS encryption/decryption performance. This can be enabled by adding the following broker/server config

```
pinot.broker.tls.ssl.provider :  OPENSSL
pinot.server.tls.ssl.provider :  OPENSSL
```

#### Enabling Netty Native Transport:

Apache Pinot supports using native transport library <https://netty.io/wiki/native-transports.html>  for broker-server transmission, which would potentially boost performance under high QPS. This can be enabled using:

<pre><code><strong>pinot.broker.netty.native.transports.enabled : true
</strong>pinot.server.netty.native.transports.enabled : true
</code></pre>
