PrestoDB in HPE Ezmeral Unified Analytics – Milind Bhandarkar, HPE


HPE Ezmeral Unified Analytics is an end-to-end data & AI/ML platform that consists of several popular open-source frameworks for data engineering, data analytics, data science, & ML engineering in a well-integrated packaging. These open-source frameworks include Apache Spark, Apache Airflow, Apache Superset, PrestoDB, MLFlow, Kubeflow, and Feast. This platform is built atop Kubernetes and provides built in security. In this talk we will focus on the role of PrestoDB in Unified Analytics as a fast SQL query engine, and also as a secure data access layer. We will discuss some of our value-additions to PrestoDB, such as a distributed memory-centric columnar caching layer that provides both explicit and transparent caching for dataset fragments, often leading to 3x to 4x query performance. We will conclude by proposing to make caching pluggable in PrestoDB and discussing future directions.

Delta Lake Connector for Presto – Denny Lee, Databricks

Delta Lake Connector for Presto – Denny Lee, Databricks

Delta lake is an open-source project that enables building a lakehouse architecture on top of existing storage systems such as S3, ADLS, GCS, and HDFS. We – the Presto and Delta Lake communities – have come together to make it easier for Presto to leverage the reliability of data lakes by integrating with Delta Lake. In this session, we would like to share the design decisions and internals of the Presto/Delta connector.
