Hi everyone, we are evaluating the druid and pinot for one our usecase. just to understand, is the
startTree index
in pinot and
roll-up
in druid are same ? or anything different ?

StarTree is a specialized index that helps you customize level of preaggregation vs storage cost to best serve your needs. This is unique to Pinot and no other system has it.
s
exactly druid's
roll-up
does the same thing i guess. please correct me if i'm wrong.
k
roll-up is simple aggregation across all dimensions
StarTree index is roll up across every dimension combination.. think of pre-cube
Only difference is star tree index pre cubes only certain combinations
And thus avoids data explosion
