Pinot is designed to answer OLAP queries with low latency on immutable data

Pluggable indexing

Pluggable indexing technologies - Sorted Index, Bitmap Index, Inverted Index

Near Real time ingestion

Near Realtime ingestion with Apache Kafka supports StringSerializer or Avro formats

Horizontally scalable

Horizontally scalable and fault tolerant

Joins using PrestoDB

Smart Alerts in ThirdEye

Detect the right anomalies by customizing anomaly detect flow and notification flow
