Connect a Data Source

A datasource is an entity that you have to register in ThirdEye to make ThirdEye aware of its existence. A datasource is like a pinot instance. A datasource can have many datasets which are like tables. Those datasets can have many metrics.

Currently ThirdEye supports connecting with Apache Pinot. To connect to other data sources please reach out to StarTree
