At PrestoCon Day, Anant Aneja of Ahana, an IBM Company introduced a new feature for Presto called Quick Stats which aims to enhance query optimization by providing up-to-date statistics for the query optimizer. This enables more accurate cost-based decisions and better selectivity for non-trivial queries. In this blog post we’ll recap the details and benefits…
With the growing popularity of the lakehouse approach, it has become increasingly important for query engines to support these new formats such as Hudi. A previous blog discusses the evolution of presto-hudi integration via hive connector at a high level. With the latest community developments, a separate presto-hudi connector has come up but it is…
Apache Hudi is a fast growing data lake storage system that helps organizations build and manage petabyte-scale data lakes. Hudi brings stream style processing to batch-like big data by introducing primitives such as upserts, deletes and incremental queries. These features help surface faster, fresher data on a unified serving layer. Hudi tables can be stored…
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…
