By default Pinot loads all the plugins, so you can just drop this plugin there. Also, if you specify -Dplugins.include, you need to put all the plugins you want to use, e.g. pinot-json, pinot-avro , pinot-kafka-2.0...
HDFS implementation provides the following options -
hadoop.conf.path : Absolute path of the directory containing hadoop XML configuration files such as hdfs-site.xml, core-site.xml .
hadoop.write.checksum : create checksum while pushing an object. Default is false
hadoop.kerberos.principle
hadoop.kerberos.keytab
Each of these properties should be prefixed by pinot.[node].storage.factory.class.hdfs. where node is either controller or server depending on the config
The kerberos configs should be used only if your Hadoop installation is secured with Kerberos. Please check Hadoop Kerberos guide on how to generate Kerberos security identification.
You will also need to provide proper Hadoop dependencies jars from your Hadoop installation to your Pinot startup scripts.
To push HDFS segment files to Pinot controller, you just need to ensure you have proper Hadoop configuration as we mentioned in the previous part. Then your remote segment creation/push job can send the HDFS path of your newly created segment files to the Pinot Controller and let it download the files.
For example, the following curl requests to Controller will notify it to download segment files to the proper table:
curl -X POST -H "UPLOAD_TYPE:URI" -H "DOWNLOAD_URI:hdfs://nameservice1/hadoop/path/to/segment/file.
