Can docker mounts be used to create tables/schemas?(Mount path is a config directory in Pinot and the schema files are there)

yes that’s a common approach

Any document on this Hubert? Thanks for reply.

Not really. This is a docker specific feature. You can use the ./bin/pinot-admin.sh AddTable/AddSchema CLI command in the container

Just considering a scenario where Pinot is deployed to kubernetes, I’ve locked down the UI and APIs(for security), can I mount a config directory to create new schemas and tables?

ok, yeah it should work

Been digging around for any documentation on if Pinot polls for new schema/table configurations in any directory/external blob via configuration, let me know please if there is any. Thanks for getting back to me so quick Hubert! :)

there isn’t ☝️ . You’ll need to invoke an API either through CLI or REST

And the API exclusively support basic auth and zk basic auth?

but nothing is stopping from extending and adding a listener ;)

Think that’s a proposal worth putting forward?

There are lots of thinking around usability that’s in the pipe. This i think is part of them

If there’s any way to contribute to that please let me know

absolutely. we’d be happy to have to commit. here are the guidelines https://github.com/apache/pinot/blob/40cf5a7ba82fcc4fc10d8b8efe800d3f732c0655/CONTRIBUTING.md
