Revolutionizing Presto C++: Unleashing Native Power with the Sidecar
By Saurabh Mahawar, Pramod Satya & Pratik Joseph Dabre August 10, 2025August 11, 2025
At PrestoCon Day 2025, we unveiled the Presto Sidecar, a powerful enhancement for Presto C++ (Velox) clusters that transforms how coordinators interact with native workers. This innovation removes long-standing blind spots in query planning by giving the coordinator real-time visibility into native worker capabilities – such as supported functions, data types, session properties, and plan…
