Running Pinot in Docker

This guide will show you to run a Pinot cluster using Docker.

Get started setting up a Pinot cluster with Docker using the guide below.

Prerequisites:

Install Docker
Configure Docker memory with the following minimum resources:
- CPUs: 8
- Memory: 16.00 GB
- Swap: 4 GB
- Disk Image size: 60 GB

The latest Pinot Docker image is published at apachepinot/pinot:latest. View a list of .

Pull the latest Docker image onto your machine by running the following command:

To pull a specific version, modify the command like below:

Set up a cluster

Once you've downloaded the Pinot Docker image, it's time to set up a cluster. There are two ways to do this.

Quick start

Pinot comes with quick start commands that launch instances of Pinot components in the same process and import pre-built datasets.

For example, the following quick start command launches Pinot with a baseball dataset pre-loaded:

For a list of all available quick start commands, see .

Manual cluster

The quick start scripts launch Pinot with minimal resources. If you want to play with bigger datasets (more than a few MB), you can launch each of the Pinot components individually.

Note that these are sample configurations to be used as references. You will likely want to customize them to meet your needs for production use.

Docker

Create a Network

Create an isolated bridge network in docker

Start Zookeeper

Start Zookeeper in daemon mode. This is a single node zookeeper setup. Zookeeper is the central metadata store for Pinot and should be set up with replication for production use. For more information, see .

Start Pinot Controller

Start Pinot Controller in daemon and connect to Zookeeper.

The command below expects a 4GB memory container. Tune-Xms and-Xmx if your machine doesn't have enough resources.

Start Pinot Broker

Start Pinot Broker in daemon and connect to Zookeeper.

The command below expects a 4GB memory container. Tune-Xms and-Xmx if your machine doesn't have enough resources.

Start Pinot Server

Start Pinot Server in daemon and connect to Zookeeper.

The command below expects a 16GB memory container. Tune-Xms and-Xmx if your machine doesn't have enough resources.

Start Kafka

Optionally, you can also start Kafka for setting up real-time streams. This brings up the Kafka broker on port 9092.

Now all Pinot related components are started as an empty cluster.

Run the below command to check container status:

Sample Console Output

Docker Compose

Create a file called docker-compose.yml that contains the following:

Run the following command to launch all the components:

Run the below command to check the container status:

Sample Console Output

Once your cluster is up and running, see to learn how to run queries against the data.

If you have or installed, you can also try running the .
