== History ==

Pinot was started as an internal project at LinkedIn in 2013 to power a variety of user-facing and business-facing products. The first analytics product at LinkedIn to use Pinot was a redesign of the social networking site's feature that allows members to see who has viewed their profile in real-time. The project was open-sourced in June 2015 under an Apache 2.0 license and was donated to the Apache Software Foundation by LinkedIn in June 2019.<ref name="open-sourcing-pinot" /><ref name="pinot-joins-apache-foundation" />

== Architecture ==

[[File:Pinot Architecture.png|520x520px|thumb|alt=Architecture of Apache Pinot|Architecture diagram of Apache Pinot]]

Pinot uses [[Apache Helix]] for cluster management. Helix is embedded as an agent within the different components and uses [[Apache ZooKeeper]] for coordination and maintaining the overall cluster state and health. All Pinot servers and brokers are managed by Helix. Helix is a generic cluster management framework to manage partitions and replicas in a distributed system.

== Features ==

Pinot shares similar features with comparable OLAP datastores, such as [[Apache Druid]].<ref>{{cite book |last1=Ordonez |first1=Carlos |last2=Song |first2=Il-Yeol |last3=Anderst-Kotsis |first3=Gabriele |last4=Tjoa |first4=A.

Pinot supports pluggable [[Database index|indexing technologies]] - Sorted Index, [[Bitmap Index]], [[Inverted index|Inverted Index]], Star-Tree Index, and Range Index, which are what primarily differentiates Pinot from other OLAP datastores.

Pinot supports near real-time ingestion from streams such as [[Apache Kafka|Kafka]], [[AWS]] Kinesis and [[Batch processing|batch]] ingestion from sources such as [[Hadoop]], [[Amazon S3|S3]], [[Microsoft Azure|Azure]], [[Google Cloud Storage|GCS]]. Like mostly, allmost other [[Online analytical processing|OLAP]] datastores and [[data warehousing]] solutions, Pinot supports a [[SQL]]-like query language that supports selection, aggregation, filtering, group by, order by, distinct queries on data.
