Speeding Up Presto in ByteDance – Shengxuan Liu, Bytedance & Beinan Wang, Alluxio

Speeding Up Presto in ByteDance – Shengxuan Liu, Bytedance & Beinan Wang, Alluxio

Shengxuan Liu from ByteDance and Beinan Wang from Alluxio will present the practical problems and interesting findings during the launch of Presto Router and Alluxio Local Cache. Their talk covers how ByteDance’s Presto team implements the cache invalidation and dashboard for Alluxio’s Local Cache. Shengxuan will also share his experience using a customized cache strategy to improve the cache efficiency and system reliability.

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.

Presto at Bytedance- Hive UDF Wrapper for Presto

Presto at Bytedance- Hive UDF Wrapper for Presto

Presto has been widely used at Bytedance in several ways such as in the data warehouse, BI tools, ads etc. And, the Presto team at Bytedance has also delivered many key features and optimizations such as the Hive UDF wrapper, coordinator, runtime filter and so on which extend Presto usages and enhance Presto stabilities. Nowadays, most companies will use both Hive (or Spark) and Presto together. But Presto UDFs have very different syntax and internal mechanisms compared with Hive UDFs. This restricts Presto usage while users need to maintain 2 kinds of functions. In this talk, we will present a way to execute Hive UDF/UDAF inside Presto.

Dynamic UDF Framework and its Applications – Rongrong Zhong, Alluxio & Yanbing Zhang, Bytedance

Dynamic UDF Framework and its Applications – Rongrong Zhong, Alluxio & Yanbing Zhang, Bytedance

Presto supports dynamically registered User Defined Functions (UDFs) since 2020. Over the years, we used this framework to add support for SQL UDFs and remote / external UDFs. One common community request in the UDF domain is to support Hive UDFs. Many companies have legacy Hive pipelines, and engineers who are familiar with HQL and Hive UDFs. With remote UDF, one can implement Hive UDF support as UDFs running on the remote cluster. But since HiveUDFs are written in Java, we can also run them inside the engine. We extended the dynamic UDF framework to support Java UDFs, and used this new extension to add HiveUDF support in Presto. With this feature, users can directly use their familiar HiveUDFs and UDAFs in their Presto query.

Presto has been widely used in Bytedance, e.g. DataWarehouse, BI Tools, Ads and so on. Meanwhile the presto team of Bytedance also delivered many important features and optimizations like Hive UDF Wrapper, multiple coordinator, runtime filter and so on which extend Presto usages and enhance Presto stababilities.

Apache Iceberg is an open table format for huge analytic datasets. The Presto Iceberg connector consolidates the SQL engine and the table format, to empower high-performant data analytics. Here, Beinan and Chunxu would like to discuss and share the architectural design of the Presto Iceberg connector, advanced Iceberg feature support (such as native iceberg connector, row-level deletion, and iceberg v2 support), and the future roadmap.

Presto and Apache Iceberg – Chunxu Tang, Twitter

Apache Iceberg is an open table format for huge analytic datasets. At Twitter, engineers are working on the Presto-Iceberg connector, aiming to bring high-performance data analytics on Iceberg to the Presto ecosystem. Here, Chunxu would like to share what they have learned during the development, hoping to shed light on the future work of interactive queries.
