Pinot is a realtime distributed OLAP datastore, which is used at LinkedIn to deliver scalable real time analytics with low latency. It can ingest data from offline data sources (such as Hadoop and flat files) as well as online sources (such as Kafka). Pinot is designed to scale horizontally.
6. • 100B documents
• 1B documents ingested per day
• 100M queries per day
• 10’s of ms latency
• 30 tables in prod, 250 * 3 std app nodes

33. • AUTO recovery mode: Automatically redistribute
segments on failure/addition of new nodes
• Custom mode: Run in degraded mode until node is
restarted/replaced.

34. Pinot vs Druid
Druid Pinot
Architecture
Realtime + Offline,
Realtime only
Realtime + Offline
Realtime only -> consistency is hard and
schema evolution/Bootstrap is hard
Inverted Index
Always On all columns,
Fixed
Configurable on per
column basis
Allows trade off between scanning v/s
inverted index + scanning. More data can be
fit in given memory size
Data organization N/A Sorts data
Organizing data provides speed/better
compression and removes the need for
inverted index
Smart pre-
materialization
N/A star-tree Allows trade off between latency and space
Query Execution
Layer
Fixed Plan
Split into Planning
and execution
Smart choices can be made at runtime
based on metadata/query.

35. • Documentation & tooling
• In progress - consistency among real time replicas.
• Improve cost to serve - leverage SSD, partial pre
materialization
• ThirdEye - Business Metrics Monitoring
