This section describes quick start commands that launch all Pinot components in a single process.
Pinot ships with QuickStart commands that launch Pinot components in a single process and import pre-built datasets. These quick start examples are a good place if you're just getting started with Pinot. The examples begin with the Batch Processing example, after the following notes:
Prerequisites
You must have either installed Pinot locally or have Docker installed if you want to use the Pinot Docker image. The examples are available in each option and work the same. The decision of which to choose depends on your installation preference and how you generally like to work. If you don't know which to choose, using Docker will make your cleanup easier after you are done with the examples.
Pinot versions in examples
The Docker-based examples on this page use pinot:latest, which instructs Docker to pull and use the most recent release of Apache Pinot. If you prefer to use a specific release instead, you can designate it by replacing latest with the release number, like this: pinot:0.12.1.
The local install-based examples that are run using the launcher scripts will use the Apache Pinot version you installed.
Running examples with Docker on a Mac with an M1 or M2 CPU
Add the -arm64 suffix to the run commands, like this:
Stopping a running example
To stop a running example, enter Ctrl+C in the same terminal where you ran the docker run command to start the example.
macOS Monterey Users
By default the Airplay receiver server runs on port 7000, which is also the port used by the Pinot Server in the Quick Start. You may see the following error when running these examples:
If you disable the Airplay receiver server and try again, you shouldn't see this error message anymore.
