InfoQ, Monday, December 11,2023
Apache Pinot is an open source column-oriented distributed data store written in Java. Pinot is designed to use Online Analytical processing (OLAP) in order to answer multi-dimensional analytical (MDA) queries with low latency.
Pinot started as an internal project at LinkedIn in 2013 to power analytic solutions before being open-sourced in June 2015 based on the Apache 2.0 license. The project became part of the Apache Software Foundation in June 2019.
Three hundred issues have been closed by the community in the year before the 1.0 release. Issues introduced new features, improved performance and solved bugs. Currently the project has more than 1.3 million lines of code on GitHub, contributed by over three hundred contributors.
