Keynote: Presto – Swiss Army Knife for the Lakehouse – Tim Meehan
Presto has long been known for its ability to bridge together multiple sources of data using a single consistent language. Learn about the future direction and initiatives that will make Presto even more convenient, reliable and efficient for the Lakehouse.
The Past, Present, and Future of Presto – Philip Bell, Meta
PrestoDB recently underwent major architectural updates as the Presto Foundation grows membership and is looking to vastly grow the number of new commits and forks. Achieving this desired end state required successful refactoring and improving of Presto’s already impressive speed, efficiency, reliability, and extensibility. Establishing PrestoDB as a premier Open Source project required a major commitment of time and resources from Meta to ensure the community can benefit from this project for years to come, as well as positioning PrestoDB to evolve beyond what Meta alone could create. Members of the Presto Foundation need more of you to be involved in this major evolution in Presto’s history and core components, and bring your own inventive ideas to the mix.
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.
