Pre-aggregations +################### +Pre aggregate the data as much as the application logic allows. This means **rolling up the metric values for the unique dimensions and time column combinations**. This is beneficial as we will reduce the size of the data being stored in Pinot, as well as avoid aggregations to be done in Pinot for every query, hence improving query performance. + +- For offline, perform the aggregations in your data preparation hadoop/spark job. +- For realtime, a samza job can be used to aggregate data at intervals based on the freshness requirements of the usecase. Review comment: Also mention that realtime supports aggregation on the fly for sum().
