Can Apache Pinot replace your OLTP database?

Compares Apache Pinot to OLTP using a live Docker demo that wires MySQL → Debezium → Kafka → Pinot and shows CDC-driven real‑time upserts and backfill with the Minion bootstrap; demonstrates joins and per‑state aggregations with sub‑second latency. Explains columnar segments, bloom pruning, inverted/range/geospatial indexes, star‑tree index, HLL/Theta sketches and compaction. Claims production scale: LinkedIn clusters at ~200k QPS, billions of keys, petabyte scale; conclusion: Pinot can replace OLTP for hybrid serving and user‑facing analytics but not all transactional workloads.
