PrestoDB in HPE Ezmeral Unified Analytics – Milind Bhandarkar, HPE


HPE Ezmeral Unified Analytics is an end-to-end data & AI/ML platform that consists of several popular open-source frameworks for data engineering, data analytics, data science, & ML engineering in a well-integrated packaging. These open-source frameworks include Apache Spark, Apache Airflow, Apache Superset, PrestoDB, MLFlow, Kubeflow, and Feast. This platform is built atop Kubernetes and provides built in security. In this talk we will focus on the role of PrestoDB in Unified Analytics as a fast SQL query engine, and also as a secure data access layer. We will discuss some of our value-additions to PrestoDB, such as a distributed memory-centric columnar caching layer that provides both explicit and transparent caching for dataset fragments, often leading to 3x to 4x query performance. We will conclude by proposing to make caching pluggable in PrestoDB and discussing future directions.

Scaling Cache for Presto Iceberg Connector – Beinan Wang, Alluxio & Chunxu Tang

Scaling Cache for Presto Iceberg Connector – Beinan Wang, Alluxio & Chunxu Tang

While using the Presto Iceberg connector, the in-heap cache in Presto is likely overloaded. In this talk, Beinan and Chunxu will share the design, implementation, and optimization of the off-heap cache to address the scalability challenges. You will learn how to cache Iceberg data and metadata for the Presto Iceberg connector, followed by future work on improving table scans using Apache Arrow.
