[Uber Open Source] New Features in Pinot: Standard SQL and Cloud Readiness

Apache Pinot is a distributed columnar database for real-time analytics. It powers many well-known applications, including LinkedIn’s Who Viewed My Profile feature and Uber Eats timely analytics. Since Pinot joined Apache Incubator in 2019, it has gained a lot of momentum with a growing community. During this May 2020 Uber Engineering Meetup, software engineers Sidd and Xiang introduces new Apache Pinot integrations and features, including ORDER BY, DISTINCT, Text Search, and Standard SQL. They also discuss work being done to get Pinot cloud-ready, as well as its roadmap to Apache Incubator graduation.
