Hi, the kubernetes helm setup for pinot has a LoadBalancer service created for both broker and controller. I wanted to understand, what should be used, LoadBalancer or clusterIP service for accessing pinot broker and controller by an internal service with the same kubernetes cluster but a different namespace?

if in same k8s cluster, then you can use internal service name. E.g.

pinot-controller.<pinot-namespace>:9000

Yes but when should we use the LoadBalancer service?

it’s for users accessing pinot outside the k8s cluster basically from elsewhere
