Keynote Panel: Presto at Scale – Shradha Ambekar, Gurmeet Singh, Neerad Somanchi & Rupa Gangatirkar

Over the last decade Presto has become one of the most widely adopted open source SQL query engines. In use at companies large and small, Presto’s performance, reliability, and efficiency at scale have become critical to many companies’ data infrastructures. In this panel we’ll hear from three of the largest companies running Presto at scale – Meta, Uber, and Intuit. They’ll share more about their learnings, some of their impressive performance metrics with Presto, and what they envision going forward for Presto at their respective companies.

Common Sub Expression Optimization at Facebook

In complex analytics queries, we often see repeated expressions, for example parsing the same JSON column but extracting different fields, elaborate CASE statement with common predicates and different ones. Previously, Presto will compute the same expression many times as they appear in query. With common sub expression optimization, we would only evaluate the same expression once within the same project operator or filter operator. In our workload, we’ve seen 3x improvements on certain queries with expensive common sub expressions like JSON_PARSE. Microbenchmark also shows a consistent ~10% performance improvement for simple common sub-expressions like x + y. In this talk, we will talk about how this is implemented.

Presto On Spark: Scaling not Failing with Spark – Ariel Weisberg, Meta & Shradha Ambekar, Intuit

Presto on Spark is an integration between Presto and Spark that leverages Presto’s compiler/evaluation as a library and Spark’s large scale processing capabilities. It enables a unified SQL experience between interactive and batch use cases. A unified option for batch data processing and ad hoc is very important for creating the experience of queries that scale instead of fail without requiring rewrites between different SQL dialects. In this session, we’ll talk about Presto On Spark architecture, why it matters and its implementation/usage at Intuit.
