table. Then if we upload a more recent segment that segment becomes available but the newest uploaded segment is not available. Is there any way to set a segment as ready to be served or something similar?

hi @Buchi Reddy you can check out the observability section of this article - Pinot exposes JMX metrics which can give you insights - https://medium.com/@shounakmk219/tasted-apache-pinot-and-we-loved-it-85f9022c30f7

Is all of this going to be in pinot 0.5.0?

@Ting Chen can you please guide Elon about the necessary PRs? ^^

I am getting the following exception during rebalancing. I have triggered rebalancing once but it seemed to have stopped in the middle and now i am getting the following exception. Any ideas ?

Copy code

Is there a string length limitation for a string column. I’m seeing my data being truncated to 575 characters.

Can anyone tell me how to see pinot server metrics(either via some api or jmx) and how to set lead controller for retention job?

I am getting the following error when trying to drop a test broker.

Copy code

{
  "code": 409,
  "error": "Failed to drop instance Broker_172.17.0.2_8099 - Instance Broker_172.17.0.2_8099 exists in ideal state for brokerResource"
}

How do i remove the instance from ideal states and also drop it ?

Pinot logging has a bug here (mismatching number of arguments) that truncates the error details.

Pradeep

09/16/2020, 1:40 AM

QQ what is the best way to drop a realtime server and move the segments to a different server? Would disabling the server and rebalancing would do the trick?

Shen Wan

SQL query filtering on the field used for partitioning returning nothing. Filtering on other fields is fine. I do not see anything worth mentioning in log. What’s going on?

hey everyone, i'm trying to add STAR tree index to an existing table using the REST API. I've validated the tableConfig and did a

PUT

of the config and PUT also succeeded with http

but when I get back the tableConfig again, I don't see the STAR tree index config anymore.

In batch Ingestion flow, I am partitioning the data by Date, Channel and pmod(hash of ID, x) . Where x varies for differnt channel values. How can i define this in partition config for the table ?

Jackie

09/23/2020, 5:32 PM

@Yash Agarwal You can use the APIs defined in

PinotInstanceAssignmentRestletResource

for that. These APIs are detailed fine tuning APIs so we don't have them documented yet. Will enhance the documents. Let me know if you need more help understanding the APIs

Hi everyone, we have a couple of segments with no replicas and they're not coming online at all. how can that be fixed? Tried reloading those segments with REST API but that didn't seem to work

Tim Chan

How do I avoid seeing an InternalError message when I would like to result a very very large result set?

Hi, I added some additional columns to star-tree index, but I don’t see the new column being part of the start tree index in the new segments doesn’t modifications get reflected in the new segments? IIRC reloads doesn’t help with modifications to the star tree index, correct me if I am wrong

Pradeep

shouldn;t the segment rotate if 2h is hit?

Hi. This isn't a problem. I'm looking for design feedback. I'm using Apache Flink to generate inputs into Pinot's realtime tables. Any experience with doing aggregation in Flink vs Pinot? My current prototype aggregates user events inside of Pinot for streaming but aggregates in Flink for Pinot's offline ingestion. I'm tempted to move the streaming aggregation to Flink too so I can reuse the same code for streaming and batch. Flink's aggregation is nice and very performant. Flink supports sending

delete

and

insert

operations for group by results. Here's a simplified version of my Pinot table to help illustrate my use case: (dimensions) utc_date, seller_id, content_id, (metrics) sum_clicks.

we dont build startree in the realtime ingestion path, right?

Pradeep

10/01/2020, 7:55 PM

we most likely figured out the issue, thanks a lot @Jackie we have a hybrid table and timestamp column gets auto added to the filter and star-tree is not used in query execution

Elon

10/02/2020, 7:46 PM

Thanks! We're on pinot 4 so should I just go to zookeeper and manually delete the tag somehow?

Tim Chan

10/02/2020, 7:58 PM

has anyone used https://github.com/python-trio/trio to try to run concurrent queries with https://github.com/python-pinot-dbapi/pinot-dbapi

@Elon the realtime consumer automatically adjusts to new tags that may be there in the cluster and removes segments from untagged ones. This is done over time. So, any new consuming segments are allocated ONLY amongst the tagged servers that exist at the time of newly created segment. The old segments (already consumed ones) are left to be retained out (unless you invoke rebalanlce). That said, if you had (say) 4 replicas configured, and only 3 tagged instances exist, then we continue consumption as before on an untagged host sine we don't want to run the risk of losing a replica

I'm trying to build Pinot (so I can send a PR). I'm not sure I'm doing this correctly. I'm hitting an error. I'm following the code setup and contribution guides. I'm hitting an issue

mvn checkstyle:check -X

. It looks like the

<http://repository.apache.org|repository.apache.org>

snapshots has not been updated for

0.6.0

. Also, I'm using

openjdk 13.0.2 2020-01-14

. Should I change this?

Hi, for the hybrid tables is there a way to adjust the boundary used by the broker for querying offline vs realtime?
