What is Apache Pinot used for?

Pinot is a real-time distributed OLAP datastore, purpose-built to provide ultra low-latency analytics, even at extremely high throughput. It can ingest directly from streaming data sources – such as Apache Kafka and Amazon Kinesis – and make the events available for querying instantly.

Who uses Apache Pinot?

We built Apache Pinot – a real-time distributed OLAP datastore – for low-latency analytics at scale. This is heavily used at companies such as LinkedIn, Uber, Slack, where Kafka serves as the backbone for capturing vast amounts of data.

Who created Apache Pinot?

LinkedIn
Apache Pinot is a distributed Big Data analytics infrastructure created to deliver scalable real-time analytics at high throughput with low latency. The project was first created at LinkedIn in 2013, open-sourced in 2015, and entered the Apache Incubator in October 2018.

How does Apache drill work?

Apache Drill is a low latency distributed query engine for large-scale datasets, including structured and semi-structured/nested data. Inspired by Google’s Dremel, Drill is designed to scale to several thousands of nodes and query petabytes of data at interactive speeds that BI/Analytics environments require.

Who is using Apache Iceberg?

I’m happy to announce that Dan Weeks, Jason Reid, and I have raised a series A from a16z to build a new kind of data platform around Apache Iceberg. Iceberg is the open standard for huge analytic tables in the cloud, and it’s currently used at companies like Netflix, Apple, Adobe, LinkedIn, Expedia, Stripe, and more.
