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.

Executing Any External Code in Any Language with Presto – A Universal Connector – Ravishankar Nair

Connector based architecture is one of the powerful features in Presto for extensibility. While we have a solid pack of many connectors, the ability to reuse an existing external snippet to fetch data and access through Presto will make it enormously helpful. For example, consider accessing mainframe code through Presto using simple SQL which is quite cumbersome to handle by creating a connector paradigm. Ravishankar explores how he implemented this feature using a protocol server and a protocol connector which eventually helped him to achieve a patent on the concept.
