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.

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.

How Blinkit is Building an Open Data Lakehouse with Presto on AWS – Satyam Krishna & Akshay Agarwal

How Blinkit is Building an Open Data Lakehouse with Presto on AWS – Satyam Krishna & Akshay Agarwal

Blinkit, India’s leading instant delivery service, uses Presto on AWS to help them deliver on their promise of “everything delivered in 10 minutes”. In this session, Satyam and Akshay will discuss why they moved to Presto on S3 from their cloud data warehouse for more flexibility and better price performance. They’ll also share more on their open data lakehouse architecture which includes Presto as their SQL engine for ad hoc reporting, Ahana as SaaS for Presto, Apache Hudi and Iceberg to help manage transactions, and AWS S3 as their data lake.

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.
