Summary

This release introduced several awesome new features, including JSON index, lookup-based join support, geospatial support, TLS support for pinot connections, and various performance optimizations and improvements.

It also adds several new APIs to better manage the segments and upload data to the offline table. It also contains many key bug fixes. See details below.

The release was cut from the following commit: 78152cd

and the following cherry-picks:

Special notes

  • Pinot controller metrics prefix is fixed to add a missing dot (#6499). This is a backward-incompatible change that JMX query on controller metrics must be updated

  • Legacy group key delimiter (\t) was removed to be backward-compatible with release 0.5.0 (#6589)

  • Upgrade zookeeper version to 3.5.8 to fix ZOOKEEPER-2184: Zookeeper Client should re-resolve hosts when connection attempts fail. (#6558)

  • Add TLS-support for client-pinot and pinot-internode connections (#6418) Upgrades to a TLS-enabled cluster can be performed safely and without downtime. To achieve a live-upgrade, go through the following steps:

    • First, configure alternate ingress ports for https/netty-tls on brokers, controllers, and servers. Restart the components with a rolling strategy to avoid cluster downtime.

    • Second, verify manually that https access to controllers and brokers is live. Then, configure all components to prefer TLS-enabled connections (while still allowing unsecured access). Restart the individual components.

    • Third, disable insecure connections via configuration. You may also have to set controller.vip.protocol and controller.vip.port and update the configuration files of any ingestion jobs. Restart components a final time and verify that insecure ingress via http is not available anymore.

  • PQL endpoint on Broker is deprecated (#6607)

    • Apache Pinot has adopted SQL syntax and semantics. Legacy PQL (Pinot Query Language) is deprecated and no longer supported. Please use SQL syntax to query Pinot on broker endpoint /query/sql and controller endpoint /sql

Major Bug fixes

  • Fix the SIGSEGV for large index (#6577)

  • Handle creation of segments with 0 rows so segment creation does not fail if data source has 0 rows. (#6466)

  • Fix QueryRunner tool for multiple runs (#6582)

  • Use URL encoding for the generated segment tar name to handle characters that cannot be parsed to URI. (#6571)

  • Fix a bug of miscounting the top nodes in StarTreeIndexViewer (#6569)

  • Fix the raw bytes column in real-time segment (#6574)

  • Fixes a bug to allow using JSON_MATCH predicate in SQL queries (#6535)

  • Fix the overflow issue when loading the large dictionary into the buffer (#6476)

  • Fix empty data table for distinct query (#6363)

  • Fix the default map return value in DictionaryBasedGroupKeyGenerator (#6712)

  • Fix log message in ControllerPeriodicTask (#6709)

  • Fix bug #6671: RealtimeTableDataManager shuts down SegmentBuildTimeLeaseExtender for all tables in the host (#6682)

  • Fix license headers and plugin checks
