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

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.

HermesDB – Integrated Presto with a lucene-based Query Engine – Yue Long, Tencent

HermesDB is the next generation of OLAP engine at Tencent with the architecture featuring separation of storage and calculation. HermesDB characterizes efficient indexing files in storage data, equipping with customized Presto as the core query engine. With the help of Presto connector, HermesDB could not only support full ANSI syntax but also ultilize Apache Lucene as underlying computer core. Besides, we are in the progress of improving the end-to-end performance with the newly released Java Vector APIs, acclecerating different kinds of complex computations with SIMD instructions. According to the benchmark(SSB) we have, HermesDB outperformances other mainstream C++ based MPP engines.

Presto at Tencent at Scale: Usability Extension, Stability Improvement and Performance Optimization – Junyi Huang & Pan Liu

Presto at Tencent at Scale: Usability Extension, Stability Improvement and Performance Optimization – Junyi Huang & Pan Liu

Presto has been adopted at Tencent as scale to serve scenarios of ad-hoc queries and interactive queries for different business units. In this talk, we’d like to share our practice of Presto in production. In details, we’ll talk about our works to further improve the stability, extend the usability, and optimize the performance of Presto. The works all together make Presto better fit in our production environment, which we think will also benefit the community.
