Hello everyone, I was recently reading Uber's article on "Operating Apache Pinot" where they discussed their implementation of a Pinot REST Proxy for load balancing. I'm curious to know if there are any plans within the Apache Pinot community to integrate a native load balancer directly into Pinot itself, or if the recommended approach will continue to be an external solution like the REST Proxy. Is Uber's Pinot REST Proxy, or a similar community-contributed REST Proxy solution, open-sourced and available for wider use? Any insights or discussions on this topic would be greatly appreciated!

Hi @Veerendra, for the most part you should be able to use any off the shelf LB. Any specific functionality that you are looking for that isn’t available those?

Currently, my queries are hitting a single Pinot broker, and my goal is to balance querying load across all brokers. I've been exploring different solutions and wanted to know if pinot offers any built-in functionality

I think Pinot Java client may round robin across brokers. But you can place any off the shelf LB on top.
