Building Large-scale Query Operators and Window Functions for Prestissimo using Velox – Aditi Pandit

Building Large-scale Query Operators and Window Functions for Prestissimo using Velox – Aditi Pandit

In this talk, Aditi Pandit, Principal Software Engineer at Ahana and Presto/Velox contributor, will throw the covers back on some of the most interesting portions of working in Prestissimo and Velox. The talk will be based on the experience of implementing the windowing functions in Velox. It will cover the nitty gritty on the vectorized operator, memory management and spilling. This talk is perfect for anyone who is using Presto in production and wants to understand more about the internals, or someone who is new to Presto and is looking for a deep technical understanding of the architecture.

Running PrestoDB on Kubernetes with Ahana Cloud and AWS EKS

Running PrestoDB on Kubernetes with Ahana Cloud and AWS EKS

PrestoDB is built to be cloud agnostic and container-friendly, but getting it to run on Kubernetes in the cloud can be challenging. In this talk, Gary Stafford (AWS) and Dipti Borkar (Ahana) will discuss: Why use the in-VPC deployment model with AWS and demo, etc – Deploying PrestoDB on AWS EKS using the Ahana Cloud managed service within the user’s AWS account.

Prestissimo – Presto-on-Velox for Faster More Efficient Queries – Orri Erling, Meta

We built a drop-in replacement for the Presto worker using C++ and Velox and saw a dramatic improvements in CPU efficiency and latency for interactive queries. We embraced adaptive execution provided by Velox to efficiently evaluate filters pushed down into scan and automatically enable array-based aggregations and joins. We make extensive use of dictionary encodings to achieve zero-copy execution throughout the engine. We allow for vectorization friendly function implementations, provide ASCII-only fast paths and many other tricks. We’d like to share our learnings, early results and future plans. We are looking forward to invite the community to join our efforts in building the next generation of Presto together.
