Quick Start Examples

Pinot ships with QuickStart commands that launch Pinot components in a single process and import pre-built datasets. These QuickStarts are a good place if you're just getting started with Pinot.

Batch

This example demonstrates how to do batch processing with Pinot. The command:

• Starts Apache Zookeeper, Pinot Controller, Pinot Broker, and Pinot Server.

• Creates the baseballStats table

• Launches a standalone data ingestion job that builds one segment for a given CSV data file for the baseballStats table and pushes the segment to the Pinot Controller.

Batch JSON

This example demonstrates how to import and query JSON documents in Pinot. The command:

• Starts Apache Zookeeper, Pinot Controller, Pinot Broker, and Pinot Server.

• Creates the githubEvents table

• Launches a standalone data ingestion job that builds one segment for a given JSON data file for the githubEvents table and pushes the segment to the Pinot Controller.

Batch with complex data types

This example demonstrates how to do batch processing in Pinot where the data items have complex fields that need to be unnested. The command:

• Starts Apache Zookeeper, Pinot Controller, Pinot Broker, and Pinot Server.

• Creates the githubEvents table

• Launches a standalone data ingestion job that builds one segment for a given JSON data file for the githubEvents table and pushes the segment to the Pinot Controller.

Streaming

This example demonstrates how to do stream processing with Pinot. The command:

• Starts Apache Kafka, Apache Zookeeper, Pinot Controller, Pinot Broker, and Pinot Server.

• Creates meetupRsvp table

• Launches a meetup stream

Streaming JSON

This example demonstrates how to do stream processing with JSON documents in Pinot. The command:

• Starts Apache Kafka, Apache Zookeeper, Pinot Controller, Pinot Broker, and Pinot Server.

• Creates meetupRsvp table

• Launches a meetup stream

Streaming with minion cleanup

This example demonstrates how to do stream processing in Pinot with RealtimeToOfflineSegmentsTask and MergeRollupTask minion tasks continuously optimizing segments as data gets ingested. The command:

• Starts Apache Kafka, Apache Zookeeper, Pinot Controller, Pinot Broker, Pinot Minion, and Pinot Server.

• Creates githubEvents table

• Launches a GitHub events stream

Streaming with complex data types

This example demonstrates how to do stream processing in Pinot where the stream contains items that have complex fields that need to be unnested. The command:

• Starts Apache Kafka, Apache Zookeeper, Pinot Controller, Pinot Broker, Pinot Minion, and Pinot Server.

• Creates meetupRsvp table

• Launches a meetup stream

Upsert

This example demonstrates how to do with Pinot. The command:

• Starts Apache Kafka, Apache Zookeeper, Pinot Controller, Pinot Broker, and Pinot Server.

• Creates meetupRsvp table

• Launches a meetup stream

Upsert JSON

This example demonstrates how to do with JSON documents in Pinot. The command:

• Starts Apache Kafka, Apache Zookeeper, Pinot Controller, Pinot Broker, and Pinot Server.

• Creates meetupRsvp table

• Launches a meetup stream

Hybrid

This example demonstrates how to do hybrid stream and batch processing with Pinot. The command:

1. Starts Apache Kafka, Apache Zookeeper, Pinot Controller, Pinot Broker, and Pinot Server.

2. Creates airlineStats table

3. Launches a standalone data ingestion job that builds segments under a given directory of Avro files for the airlineStats table and pushes the segments to the Pinot Controller.

Join

This example demonstrates how to do joins in Pinot using the . The command:

• Starts Apache Zookeeper, Pinot Controller, Pinot Broker, and Pinot Server in the same container.

• Creates the baseballStats table

• Launches a data ingestion job that builds one segment for a given CSV data file for the baseballStats table and pushes the segment to the Pinot Controller.
