You might know LinkedIn as the place where Apache Kafka was created to standardize streaming data. But there are other compelling open source projects to come out of the company, including Apache Pinot, which was designed to deliver rapid responses to a large number of concurrent OLAP queries upon fast-moving data. Kishore Gopalakrishna, one of the co-creators of Apache Pinot and the CEO and co-founder of StarTree, recently stopped by the Big Data Debrief to discuss the big data tech.
Gopalakrishna and his LinkedIn colleague Subbu Subramaniam co-created Apache Pinot as a distributed columnar database back in 2015 to serve the social media company’s vast appetite for real-time queries on data flowing through Apache Kafka. The software grew popular among companies like Uber for its capability to serve SQL queries to thousands of external users with sub-second latency.
In 2018, Gopalakrishna and Xiang Fu co-founded StarTree to build a commercial business around hte open source software. To find out more, watch the video below.
