Server

Server configuration can be provided as part of the server startup parameters.

bin/pinot-admin.sh StartServer -configFileName /path/to/server.conf

server.conf can have the following properties

Property	Default	Description
pinot.server.netty.port	8098	Port to query Pinot Server
pinot.server.netty.host		Pinot server hostname
pinot.server.adminapi.port	8097	Port for Pinot Server Admin UI
pinot.server.instance.id		By default the server instance id used by Helix is Server_hostname_port where the hostname and port are configured through host and port config values above. This config overwrites the default setting. User can put server id independent of the server's hostname and port.
pinot.server.instance.dataDir	java.io.tmpdir + /PinotServer/index	Directory to hold all the data
pinot.server.instance.consumerDir
pinot.server.instance.segmentTarDir	java.io.tmpdir + /PinotServer/segmentTar	Directory to hold temporary segments downloaded from Controller or Deep Store
pinot.server.instance.readMode	mmap
pinot.server.instance.reload.consumingSegment	true	Specifies if the reload segment API should reload the consuming segments. This is useful when the corresponding schema is updated and we want the changes to be reflected in the consuming segment.
pinot.server.instance.data.manager.class	org.apache.pinot.server. starter.helix.HelixInstanceDataManager
pinot.query.scheduler.name	fcfs	Currently only FCFS (first-come-first-serve) is supported
pinot.query.scheduler.query_runner_threads	CPU cores	Main thread to execute the queries (one thread per query)
pinot.query.scheduler.query_worker_threads	2 * CPU cores	Worker thread to process the segments (multiple threads per query)
pinot.query.scheduler.query.log.maxRatePerSecond	unlimited	Maximum queries to be logged per second. Queries with exceptions and costly queries are always logged.
pinot.server.query.executor.class	org.apache.pinot.core.query. executor.ServerQueryExecutorV1Impl
pinot.server.query.executor.pruner.class	ValidSegmentPruner,DataSchemaSegmentPruner, ColumnValueSegmentPruner,SelectionQuerySegmentPruner
pinot.server.query.executor.timeout	15000	Timeout for Server to process Query in Milliseconds
pinot.server.query.executor.max.execution.threads	-1 (unlimited)	Maximum number of execution threads allowed for a query. Limiting this can prevent a single expensive query from occupying all the execution threads.
pinot.server.query.executor.max.init.group.holder.capacity	10000	Initial capacity of the group key holder. Increasing this value can reduce the resizing of the group key holder, but increase the heap usage for small group-by queries.
pinot.server.query.executor.num.groups.limit	100000	Maximum number of groups kept from each segment during query execution. Once this limit is reached, no more groups will be taken (will still aggregate on existing groups).
pinot.server.query.executor.min.segment.group.trim.size	-1 (do not trim)	Minimum number of groups kept at segment level during query execution. If there are enough groups found in a segment, pinot will trim the groups to max(5 * LIMIT, minSegmentgroupTrimSize) groups based on the order-by clause. Increasing this value can increase the accuracy of the results, but also increase the heap usage of the group-by queries.
pinot.server.query.executor.min.server.group.trim.size	5000	Minimum number of groups kept at server level during query execution. If there are enough groups found in a server, pinot will trim the groups to max(5 * LIMIT, minServergroupTrimSize) groups based on the order-by clause. Increasing this value can increase the accuracy of the results, but also increase the heap usage and data transfer cost of the group-by queries.
pinot.server.query.executor.groupby.trim.threshold	1000000	Threshold for number of groups to trigger the server group trimming. Increasing this value can reduce the times of trimming, but also increase the heap usage of the group-by queries.
pinot.server.requestHandlerFactory.class	org.apache.pinot.server. request.SimpleRequestHandlerFactory
pinot.server.instance.segment.format.version
pinot.server.instance.enable.split.commit
pinot.server.instance.enable.commitend.metadata
pinot.server.instance.max.parallel.refresh.threads	1	Number of simultaneous segments that can be refreshed on one server.
pinot.server.instance.realtime.max.parallel.segment.builds	0	Specifies how many parallel real-time segments can be built. Value of <= 0 indicates unlimited.
pinot.server.instance.realtime.alloc.offheap	false	Boolean value to control whether memory for real-time consuming segments should be allocated off-heap.
pinot.server.instance.realtime.alloc.offheap.direct	false	If 'real-time.alloc.offheap' is set to true, this boolean value controls whether the corresponding allocation should be direct or not (false indicate mmap allocation)
pinot.server.startup.minResourcePercent	100	The percentage of tables that need to be in an ONLINE state before the server is marked as STARTED to server queries
pinot.server.startup.timeoutMs	10 minutes	The total amount of time a server will wait for all status checks before server is marked as STARTED to server queries
pinot.server.starter.realtimeConsumptionCatchupWaitMs	0	On it's own, this is a static amount of time servers will wait for consuming segments before server is marked as STARTED to server queries When paired with pinot.server.starter.enableRealtimeOffsetBasedConsumptionStatusChecker or pinot.server.starter.enableRealtimeFreshnessBasedConsumptionStatusChecker, this is how long those status checkers will wait for segments to turn GOOD This should not be set to more than pinot.server.startup.timeoutMs as it will not be respected
pinot.server.starter.enableRealtimeOffsetBasedConsumptionStatusChecker	false	When true, the server will collect the current, latest offsets for all consuming segments and will mark those segments as GOOD once they have caught up to those offsets
pinot.server.starter.enableRealtimeFreshnessBasedConsumptionStatusChecker	false	When true, the server will not be marked as STARTED or serve queries until 1) the server has caught up to the latest available offset or the latest consumed event for each segment is at least within pinot.server.starter.realtimeMinFreshnessMs of the current time 2) pinot.server.startup.timeoutMs has elapsed
pinot.server.starter.realtimeMinFreshnessMs	10 seconds	When pinot.server.starter.enableRealtimeFreshnessBasedConsumptionStatusChecker=true, this configures the minimum freshness (now - last_event_time) for the server status checker to consider a consuming segment GOOD This only applies when pinot.server.starter.enableRealtimeFreshnessBasedConsumptionStatusChecker=true
pinot.server.starter.realtimeFreshnessIdleTimeoutMs	0	When pinot.server.starter.enableRealtimeFreshnessBasedConsumptionStatusChecker=true, this will mark a segment as GOOD after this timeout if it has not consumed any events.
pinot.server.startup.exitOnServiceStatusCheckFailure	false	When true, the server will shutdown after pinot.server.shutdown.timeoutMs rather than be marked as STARTED if the status has not turned GOOD
pinot.server.startup.enableServiceStatusCheck	true	true - server will run all configured checks false - server will be marked as STARTED without performing an startup checks
pinot.server.startup.serviceStatusCheckIntervalMs	10 seconds	Interval at which server will perform service stats checks
pinot.server.shutdown.timeoutMs	10 minutes
pinot.server.shutdown.enableQueryCheck	true
