The Future of Presto’s Query Optimizer – Bill McKenna, Ahana

The Future of Presto’s Query Optimizer – Bill McKenna, Ahana

In this talk, you will hear from the query optimizer OG himself, Bill McKenna (Principal software engineer at Ahana, Architect for the query optimizer that became the code base of the Amazon Redshift query optimizer, and co-author of The Volcano Optimizer Generator: Extensibility and Efficient Search) go into detail about the state of modern query optimizers, and how Presto stacks up against them and where it will go in the near future. If database theory is your jam, you won’t want to miss this deeply technical presentation from one of the pioneers in the field.

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.
