Hi, Any thoughts on this OLAP benchmark. Not sure how reliable/verified this benchmark is. https://benchmark.clickhouse.com/ Pinot is in the middle of the pack

Definitly not meaning anything 😄 -> https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickBench/issues/37 Each system provide great perfs and need to be tuned and adapted to you needs. No indexes on pinot only offline table in the test

Also, something to note here is this benchmark page is ran by the company Clickhouse. Not an independent third party.

Lies, Damned Lies and Benchmarks. Always best to run your own against your own data. Optimal cluster configuration is always going to be the achilles heel on any DB benchmark; use a DBaaS if you can, even if you aren't going to go into prod on it.

Looking at the open issue, it seems they are open to PRs. Perhaps an experienced Pinot user could submit the indices and we can see how it ranks?

There was a hacker news discussion thread about this, with lots of skeptical comments: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32084571 But also, the Clickhouse docs intro advertises this benchmark under the “Why is ClickHouse so fast?” section, a lot of people probably get exposed to it.
