Integrating YugabyteDB with Apache Pinot using the YugabyteDB Change Data Capture (CDC) connector enables the creation of real-time OLAP queries for modern applications. Apache Pinot, a distributed OLAP database, provides low-latency query execution and supports pre-join, pre-aggregation, and pre-cube operations on historical data. YugabyteDB, an open-source distributed SQL database, stores transactional data consistency while providing the right level of analytics through its CDC connector. The integration benefits include a distributed architecture, no additional software required, real-time OLAP capabilities, faster query processing than traditional OLAP queries, and cloud and infrastructure agnosticism. The setup involves installing YugabyteDB and Pinot, configuring the CDC connector, connecting the two databases, and querying the real-time table in Pinot. Schema evolution in both databases is seamless, with YugabyteDB's CDC stream reflecting changes to Pinot without downtime or outages.
