Hello, I’m looking to enable segment replication on my cluster and I found 2 way of do it in the documentation: • https://docs.pinot.apache.org/configuration-reference/table#segments-config with the

replication

key • https://docs.pinot.apache.org/operators/operating-pinot/tuning/routing#replica-group-segment-assignment-and-query-routing with replica group What is the better way to do it? Maybe there is something I misunderstood? Thank you

You can start off with the first way. Replica groups is an advanced optimization when you want to reduce server fan-out and scale throughout (as mentioned in that doc)

Okay thank you, and do I need to update the

replication

key to enable ReplicaGroup? If so, does it means that it will try to replicate my CONSUMING segments in a REALTIME table? Even if I don’t configure replicaGroup for those segments?
