Migrating SQL workloads from a fully on-premise environment to cloud infrastructure has numerous benefits, including alleviating resource contention and reducing costs by paying for computation resources on an on-demand basis. In the case of Presto running on data stored in HDFS, the separation of compute in the cloud and storage on-premises is apparent since Presto’s…
The Facebook Presto team has been collaborating with Alluxio on an open source data caching solution for Presto. This is required for multiple Facebook use-cases to improve query latency for queries that scan data from remote sources such as HDFS. We have observed significant improvements in query latencies and IO scans in our experiments. We…
