Month: 2026-05 — concise delivery focused on reducing onboarding friction, improving observability, and preserving compatibility across two major repos. Highlights include a concrete Docker-based configuration path for Vector and the introduction of per-server statistics in SSE queries for Pinot, enabling downstream analytics with safe defaults.

April 2026 monthly summary for apache/pinot focusing on broker extensibility and test coverage improvements. Implemented extensibility hooks so downstream custom brokers can intercept and extend query processing without forking the core, added factory extension points for single- and multi-stage broker request handlers, expanded test coverage to validate hook invocation and extension behavior, and performed a minor code quality fix to ensure Spotless compliance. These changes reduce integration risk for customers needing custom logging, metrics, or downstream processing of BrokerResponse while preserving default OSS behavior.
