+Table Config

+Table Config
+-------------
+
+Introduction
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Using tables is how Pinot serves and organizes data. There are many settings 
in the table config which will influence how Pinot operates. The first and most 
significant distinction is using an offline versus a realtime table.
+
+An offline table in Pinot is used to host data which might be periodically 
uploaded - daily, weekly, etc. A realtime table, however, is used to consume 
data from incoming data streams and serve this data in a near-realtime manner. 
This might also be referred to as nearline or just plain 'realtime'.
 
 Review comment:
   I've updated. Perhaps we don't need the sentence? I hear people refer to it 
in various ways so I wanted to be clear, but I am open to removing it if you 
think we don't need it.
