Presto Parquet Column Encryption

By 

Introduction Apache Parquet modular encryption provides encryption at-rest and in-transit at finer-grained. In big data world, data analytic tables are usually very wide with hundreds of columns, while only a small number of columns need to be protected. So the finer-grained access control is a better fit than coarse-grained one like table level access control….

5 design choices—and 1 weird trick — to get 2x efficiency gains in Presto repartitioning

By , , , ,  & 

We like Presto. We like it a lot — so much we want to make it better in every way. Here’s an example: we just optimized the PartitionedOutputOperator. It’s now 2-3x more CPU efficient, which, when measured against Facebook’s production workload, translates to 6% gains overall. That’s huge. The optimized repartitioning is in use on…
