Getting started

This section contains quick start guides to help you get up and running with Pinot.

Running Pinot

We want your experience getting started with Pinot to be both low effort and high reward. Here you'll find a collection of quick start guides that contain starter distributions of the Pinot platform.

Bootstrapping a cluster

Deploy to a public cloud

How to setup a Pinot cluster

This video will show you a step-by-step walk through for launching the individual components of Pinot and scaling them to multiple instances. This is an excellent resource for developers and operators that want to understand setting up each component and debugging a cluster.

You can find the commands that are shown in this video on GitHub

We also have a step-by-step guide for manually setting up a Pinot cluster using Docker or shell scripts.

Data import examples

Getting data into Pinot is easy. Take a look at these two quick start guides which will help you get up and running with sample data for offline and real-time .

Frequent questions

This page has a collection of frequently asked questions with answers from the community.

This is a list of frequent questions most often asked in our troubleshooting channel on Slack. Please feel free to contribute your questions and answers here and make a pull request.

Ingestion

How do I flatten my JSON Kafka stream?

We have toJsonStr(key) function which can store a top level json field as a STRING in Pinot.

Then you can use jsonExtractScalar(JSON_STRING_FIELD, JSON_PATH, OUTPUT_FORMAT) function during query time to fetch the desired field from the json string. For example

NOTE This works well if some of your fields are nested json, but most of your fields are top level json keys. If all of your fields are within a nested JSON key, you will have to store the entire payload as 1 column, which is not ideal.

Support for flattening during ingestion is on the roadmap:

Indexing

How to set inverted indexes?

Inverted indexes are set in the tableConfig's tableIndexConfig -> invertedIndexColumns list. Here's the documentation for tableIndexConfig: along with a sample table that has set inverted indexes on some columns.

Applying inverted indexes to a table config will generate inverted index to all new segments. In order to apply the inverted indexes to all existing segments, follow steps in

How to apply inverted index to existing setup?

Add the columns you wish to index to the tableIndexConfig-> invertedIndexColumns list. This sample table config show inverted indexes set: To update the table config use the Pinot Swagger API:
Invoke the reload API:

Right now, there’s no easy way to confirm that reload succeeded. One way it to check out the index_map file inside the segment metadata, you should see inverted index entries for the new columns. An API for this is coming soon:

How to apply star tree index?

Querying

What are all the fields in the Pinot query's JSON response?

Here's the page explaining the Pinot response format:

SQL Query fails with "Encountered 'timestamp' was expecting one of..."

"timestamp" is a reserved keyword in SQL. Escape timestamp with double quotes.

Other commonly encountered reserved keywords are date, time, table.

Filtering on STRING column WHERE column = "foo" does not work?

For filtering on STRING columns, use single quotes

ORDER BY using an alias doesn't work?

The fields in the ORDER BY clause must be one of the group by clauses or aggregations, BEFORE applying the alias. Therefore, this will not work

Instead, this will work

Operations

Can I change a column name in my table, without losing data?

How to change number of replicas of a table?

You can change the number of replicas by updating the table config's section. Make sure you have at least as many servers as the replication.

For OFFLINE table, update

For REALTIME table update

After changing the replication, run a .

How to run a rebalance on a table?

A rebalance is run to reassign all the segments of a table to the available servers. This is typically done when capacity changes are done i.e. adding more servers or removing servers from a table.

Offline

Use the rebalance API from the Swagger APIs on the controller , with tableType OFFLINE

Realtime

Use the rebalance API from the Swagger APIs on the controller , with tableType REALTIME. A realtime table has 2 components, the consuming segments and the completed segments. By default, only the completed segments will get rebalanced. The consuming segments will pick the right assignment once they complete. But you can enforce the consuming segments to also be included in the rebalance, by setting the param includeConsuming to true. Note that rebalancing the consuming segments would mean the consuming segment will drop the consumed data so far, and restart consumption from the last offset, which may lead to a short duration of data staleness.

You can check the status of the rebalance by

Checking the controller logs
Running rebalance again after a while, you should receive status "status": "NO_OP"
Checking the External View of the table, to see the changes in capacity/replicas have taken effect.

Tuning and Optimizations

Do replica groups work for real-time?

Yes, replica groups work for realtime. There's 2 parts to enabling replica groups:

Replica groups segment assignment
Replica group query routing

Replica group segment assignment

Replica group segment assignment is achieved in realtime, if number of servers is a multiple of number of replicas. The partitions get uniformly sprayed across the servers, creating replica groups.

For example, consider we have 6 partitions, 2 replicas, and 4 servers.

As you can see, the set (S0, S2) contains r1 of every partition, and (s1, S3) contains r2 of every partition. The query will only be routed to one of the sets, and not span every server. If you are are adding/removing servers from an existing table setup, you have to run for segment assignment changes to take effect.

Replica group query routing

Once replica group segment assignment is in effect, the query routing can take advantage of it. For replica group based query routing, set the following in the table config's section, and then restart brokers

Running Pinot locally

This quick start guide will help you bootstrap a Pinot standalone instance on your local machine.

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.

Download Apache Pinot

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.

Build from source or download the distribution

Follow these steps to checkout code from and build Pinot locally

Prerequisites

Install 3.6 or higher

Setting up a Pinot cluster

We'll be using a quick-start script, which does the following:

Sets up the Pinot cluster QuickStartCluster
Creates a sample table and loads sample data

There's 3 kinds of quick start

Batch

Batch quick start creates the pinot cluster, creates an offline table baseballStats and pushes sample offline data to the table.

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 to check out the data in the baseballStats table.

Streaming

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.

We now have a Pinot cluster with a realtime table! You can head over to to check out the data in the meetupRSVP table.

Hybrid

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.

Let's head over to to check out the data we pushed to the airlineStats table.

Running Pinot in Docker
