What could be the possible reason of a bad segment.? Whenever I am pushing some segments from hdfs to pinot table , the job is executing without any error also segments are getting created in pinot. But status is showing bad. I.e. I have started all the pinot components ( server, broker, controller) on different nodes, and executing this Hadoop ingestion job on one different node where my Hadoop client is installed.? Is it mandatory to start one pinot server also on the same node, where I m executing this Hadoop ingestion job.

if the segment in bad status, then it means the segment is valid and go through controller part

Yes it has access because I checked the same is also moving back at hdfs as part of deepstorage. ... Okay let me chk the server logs @User
