Apache Pinot

Hi, we have Pinot on Kubernetes. We used PVC for storing data, but a few days ago, unfortunately, the PVC was mistakenly deleted when all nodes were deleted. Can we use another service for storing data, such as AWS RDS or S3?

First of all, that sucks. I’m really sorry for that data loss. I want to hope that things are more or less recoverable.

Second, to my knowledge you can’t use RDS or S3 to store active segments. Even in StarTree’s hosted Pinot—not typically our topic of discussion here!—the tiered storage feature typically puts only _some_ data in S3, with “local storage” (PVCs in your case) holding newer data.

<@U05U5CR6B96> I think you are looking for this: <https://docs.pinot.apache.org/basics/components/table/segment/deep-store>

You need to configure deep-store to ensure data durability.

<@U05U5CR6B96> do you use official helm charts?

let me take a look how you can enable deep-store in that chart

in the chart this is typically done by setting `controller.data.dir` in the values to `s3://{your-bucket}`
