1. Prerequisites
This quick start assumes the existence of a Kubernetes cluster. Please follow the links below to setup your Kubernetes cluster.
2. Setting up a Pinot cluster in Kubernetes
Before continuing, please make sure that you've downloaded Apache Pinot. The scripts for the setup in this guide can be found in our open source project on GitHub.
The scripts can be found in the Pinot source at ./incubator-pinot/kubernetes/helm
Git clone project source
Copy # checkout pinot
git clone https://github.com/apache/incubator-pinot.git
cd incubator-pinot/kubernetes/helm
2.1 Start Pinot with Helm
Run Helm with Pre-installed Package
Pinot repo has pre-packaged HelmCharts for Pinot and Presto. Helm Repo index file is here .
Copy helm repo add pinot https://raw.githubusercontent.com/apache/incubator-pinot/master/kubernetes/helm
kubectl create ns pinot-quickstart
helm install pinot pinot/pinot \
-n pinot-quickstart \
--set cluster.name=pinot \
--set server.replicaCount=2
Run Helm Script within Git Repo
2.1.1 Update helm dependency
Copy helm dependency update
2.1.2 Start Pinot with Helm
If your Kubernetes cluster is recently provisioned, ensure Helm is initialized by running:
Copy helm init --service-account tiller
Then deploy a new HA Pinot cluster using the following command:
Copy helm install --namespace "pinot-quickstart" --name "pinot" .
Copy kubectl create ns pinot-quickstart
helm install -n pinot-quickstart pinot .
2.1.3 Troubleshooting (For helm v2.12.1)
Error: Please run the below command if encountering the following issue:
Copy Error: could not find tiller.
Copy kubectl -n kube-system delete deployment tiller-deploy
kubectl -n kube-system delete service/tiller-deploy
helm init --service-account tiller
Error: Please run the command below if encountering a permission issue:
Error: release pinot failed: namespaces "pinot-quickstart" is forbidden: User "system:serviceaccount:kube-system:default" cannot get resource "namespaces" in API group "" in the namespace "pinot-quickstart"
Copy kubectl apply -f helm-rbac.yaml
2.2 Check Pinot deployment status
Copy kubectl get all -n pinot-quickstart
3. Load data into Pinot using Kafka
3.1 Bring up a Kafka cluster for real-time data ingestion
For Helm v3.0.0
Copy helm repo add incubator http://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-charts-incubator
helm install -n pinot-quickstart kafka incubator/kafka --set replicas=1
For Helm v2.12.1
Copy helm repo add incubator http://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-charts-incubator
helm install --namespace "pinot-quickstart" --name kafka incubator/kafka
3.2 Check Kafka deployment status
Copy kubectl get all -n pinot-quickstart |grep kafka
Ensure the Kafka deployment is ready before executing the scripts in the following next steps.
Copy pod/kafka-0 1/1 Running 0 2m
pod/kafka-zookeeper-0 1/1 Running 0 10m
pod/kafka-zookeeper-1 1/1 Running 0 9m
pod/kafka-zookeeper-2 1/1 Running 0 8m
3.3 Create Kafka topics
The scripts below will create two Kafka topics for data ingestion:
Copy kubectl -n pinot-quickstart exec kafka-0 -- kafka-topics --zookeeper kafka-zookeeper:2181 --topic flights-realtime --create --partitions 1 --replication-factor 1
kubectl -n pinot-quickstart exec kafka-0 -- kafka-topics --zookeeper kafka-zookeeper:2181 --topic flights-realtime-avro --create --partitions 1 --replication-factor 1
3.4 Load data into Kafka and create Pinot schema/tables
The script below will deploy 3 batch jobs.
Ingest 19492 JSON messages to Kafka topic flights-realtime
at a speed of 1 msg/sec
Ingest 19492 Avro messages to Kafka topic flights-realtime-avro
at a speed of 1 msg/sec
Upload Pinot schema airlineStats
Create Pinot table airlineStats
to ingest data from JSON encoded Kafka topic flights-realtime
Create Pinot table airlineStatsAvro
to ingest data from Avro encoded Kafka topic flights-realtime-avro
Copy kubectl apply -f pinot-realtime-quickstart.yml
4. Query using Pinot Data Explorer
4.1 Pinot Data Explorer
Please use the script below to perform local port-forwarding, which will also open Pinot query console in your default web browser.
This script can be found in the Pinot source at ./incubator-pinot/kubernetes/helm
Copy ./query-pinot-data.sh
5. Using Superset to query Pinot
5.1 Bring up Superset
Copy kubectl apply -f superset.yaml
5.2 (First time) Set up Admin account
Copy kubectl exec -it pod/superset-0 -n pinot-quickstart -- bash -c 'flask fab create-admin'
5.3 (First time) Init Superset
Copy kubectl exec -it pod/superset-0 -n pinot-quickstart -- bash -c 'superset db upgrade'
kubectl exec -it pod/superset-0 -n pinot-quickstart -- bash -c 'superset init'
5.4 Load Demo data source
Copy kubectl exec -it pod/superset-0 -n pinot-quickstart -- bash -c 'superset import_datasources -p /etc/superset/pinot_example_datasource.yaml'
kubectl exec -it pod/superset-0 -n pinot-quickstart -- bash -c 'superset import_dashboards -p /etc/superset/pinot_example_dashboard.json'
5.5 Access Superset UI
You can run below command to navigate superset in your browser with the previous admin credential.
Copy ./open-superset-ui.sh
You can open the imported dashboard by clicking Dashboards
banner and then click on AirlineStats
.
6. Access Pinot using Presto
6.1 Deploy Presto using Pinot plugin
You can run the command below to deploy a customized Presto with Pinot plugin installed.
Helm
Copy helm install presto pinot/presto -n pinot
K8s Scripts
Copy kubectl apply -f presto-coordinator.yaml
6.2 Query Presto using Presto CLI
Once Presto is deployed, you can run the command below.
Copy ./pinot-presto-cli.sh
6.3 Sample queries to execute
