Caution: This solution may not scale to meet performance and throughput requirements for your use case.

Integrate Pinot in Node.js applications

  1. Install axios.
 npm install axios
  1. Contact StarTree Support to obtain the following information:
  • Controller URL: The general format is https://pinot.<random-string>.cp.s7e.startree.cloud
  • Broker URL: The general format is https://pinot.<random-string>.cp.s7e.startree.cloud
  • AUTH_TOKEN
  1. Run the Node.js driver script:
node queryPinot.js

queryPinot.js: Node.js driver script

const axios = require('axios');
    // Pinot broker and controller URLs
    const pinotBrokerUrl = '<Broker URL mentioned above>';
    const pinotControllerUrl = '<Controller URL mentioned above>';
    // Function to query Pinot broker
    async function queryPinotBroker() {
     try {
    const response = await axios.post(`${pinotBrokerUrl}/query/sql`, {
      // Add your SQL query here
      sql: 'SELECT count(*) FROM <TABLE_NAME>,
    }, {
      headers: {
        Authorization: 'Basic <AUTH_TOKEN>',
      }
    });
    console.log('Query Result:', response.data);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Error querying Pinot broker:', error.message);
  }
}
// Function to fetch Pinot table schema from controller
async function getPinotTableSchema(tableName) {
  try {
    const response = await axios.get(`${pinotControllerUrl}/tables/${tableName}/schema`, {
      headers: {
        Authorization: 'Basic <AUTH_TOKEN>',
      }
    });
    console.log('Table Schema:', response.data);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Error fetching table schema:', error.message);
  }
}

// Example usage
queryPinotBroker();
getPinotTableSchema('companies_v1');
