Tiered storage

Reduce overall storage costs via Tiered Storage. Users can choose costly high I/O, SSD-based server nodes for fresh data and cheaper server nodes (with spinning disks) for less frequently used data. In addition, StarTree also provides a way to offload historical data into cloud object storage (eg: Amazon S3) while retaining the ability to query it seamlessly along with the local datasets.

Tiered Storage Feature V2

Columnar database

StarTree, powered by Apache Pinot, is a columnar database that stores the incoming data in a column-wise fashion rather than row-wise. This means that all values in a column are stored together, making it easier to compress similar values.

Compression algorithms

Compression algorithms like Dictionary encoding and Run-Length encoding go hand in hand with columnar representation, wherein repeated values are represented in a more concise form and only unique values are stored in the underlying storage in the raw form. This greatly reduces the on-disk footprint needed to store user data.

“We needed to empower our publishers to easily understand and optimize their content’s revenue impact. We’ve partnered with StarTree to move from 24-48 hour delayed data to near real-time data. We can return data in less than a second on key metrics around revenue, clicks, and page views.”
