Pinot provides a native java client to execute queries on data in the cluster. The client is also tenant-aware, so able to redirect the queries to the correct broker.
Installation
To use the Pinot java client, include the following dependency:
<dependency><groupId>org.apache.
include 'org.apache.pinot:pinot-java-client:0.5.0'
You can also build locally and use it.
Basic authorization for the JDBC client is not supported in Pinot JDBC 0.9.3 release or earlier. The JDBC client has been upgraded to support basic authentication in the Pinot 0.10.0 snapshot, which can currently be built from source.
You will not need to update your Pinot cluster to 0.10.0+ to support basic authentication, only the JDBC and Java client JARs.
Usage
Here's an example of how to use the pinot-java-client to query Pinot.
Connection Factory
The client provides a ConnectionFactory class to create connections to a Pinot cluster. The factory supports the following methods to create a connection -
Zookeeper (Recommended): Comma-separated list of zookeeper of the cluster. This is the recommended method which can redirect queries to appropriate brokers based on tenant/table.
Broker list: Comma separated list of the brokers in the cluster. Use for standalone setups, proof-of-concepts (POC), or Kubernetes deployments.
Controller URL: (v 0.11.0+) Controller URL. This will use periodic controller API calls to keep the table level broker list updated (hence there might be delay b/w the broker mapping changing and the client state getting updated).
If your Pinot cluster is running inside Kubernetes and you're trying to connect to it from outside Kubernetes, the Zookeeper method will probably not work (return internal host names that can't be resolved).
For Kubernetes deployments, we recommend passing the hostname of broker(s). For example:
Connection connection = ConnectionFactory.fromHostList ("broker-1:1234", "broker-2:1234", ...) ;
Here's an example demonstrating all methods of Connection factory:
Query Methods
You can run the query in both blocking as well as async manner. Use
Connection.execute(org.apache.pinot.client.Request) for blocking queries
Connection.executeAsync(org.apache.pinot.client.Request) for asynchronous queries that return a future object.
You can also use PreparedStatement to escape query parameters. We don't store the Prepared Statement in the database and hence it won't increase the subsequent query performance.
Result Set
Results can be obtained with the various get methods in the first ResultSet, obtained through the getResultSet(int) method:
In case of aggregation with GROUP BY, there will be as many ResultSets as the number of aggregations, each of which will contain multiple results grouped by a grouping key.

Authentication
Pinot supports , which can be enabled for your cluster using configuration. To support basic HTTP authorization in your client-side Java applications, make sure you are using Pinot Java Client 0.10.0+ or building from the latest Pinot snapshot. The following code snippet shows you how to connect to and query a Pinot cluster that has basic HTTP authorization enabled when using the Java client.
Configuring client time-out
The following timeouts can be set:
brokerConnectTimeoutMs (default 2000)
brokerReadTimeoutMs (default 60000)
brokerHandshakeTimeoutMs (default 2000)
Timeouts for the Java connector can be added as a connection properties. The following example configures a very low timeout of 10ms:
Properties file: You can also put the broker list as brokerList in a properties file and provide the path to that file to the factory. This should only be used in standalone setups or for POC, unless you have a load balancer setup for brokers.
