Presto on ARM – Chunxu Tang & Jiaming Mai, Alluxio

Traditionally, the deployment of Presto has been limited to Intel processors with the x86 architecture. However, with the growing popularity of ARM architecture, Chunxu and Jiaming have extended the Presto ecosystem to ARM and conducted a series of benchmark experiments. Their objective is to evaluate the performance of Presto on ARM architecture and identify key insights from the experiments. In this presentation, Chunxu and Jiaming will share the results of their performance evaluation and discuss some of the most significant findings from their research.

Presto is a popular distributed SQL query engine for running interactive analytic queries. Presto provides a Connector API that allows plugins to dozens of data sources, and thus positions itself as a single point of access to a wide variety of data. At Uber, we significantly improved Presto’s Kafka connector to meet Uber’s scale. For example, the new connector allows dynamic Kafka cluster and topic discovery so users can directly query existing Kafka topics without any registration and onboarding process; dynamic schema discovery allows fetching the latest schema without any Presto restart or deployment; smart time range suggestions to users based on Kafka metadata analysis to avoid large-range scans and thus keep the query interactive.
