FAQPage Schema

How do I launch a local Pinot cluster for testing and debugging?▼

To launch a local Pinot cluster, run the default quickstart script which spins up a ready-to-use environment in batch mode without manual installation. This enables fast iteration for development, testing, and experimentation with Pinot features.

What quickstart modes are available for a local Pinot cluster?▼

The local Pinot cluster quickstart supports batch, hybrid, streaming, and upsert modes. You can switch between these modes using the quickstart script options to validate different cluster behaviors and configurations quickly.

Do I need to build quickstart scripts before running a local Pinot cluster?▼

Yes, you need the quickstart scripts built and available under the build/bin or pinot-tools target paths before running the local Pinot cluster. This ensures the necessary scripts are present to spin up the cluster correctly.

What is the best way to experiment with Pinot batch and streaming modes locally?▼

The best way to experiment with Pinot batch and streaming modes locally is using the quickstart script. It provides a guided path for running different modes and validating cluster behavior without manual configuration setup.

Why does the Pinot quickstart script fail to start?▼

The Pinot quickstart script may fail if the scripts are not built and available under the build/bin or pinot-tools target paths. You must ensure the project is properly compiled before attempting to spin up the cluster.
