Customer-Facing Presto at Rippling – Andy Li, Rippling

Customer-Facing Presto at Rippling – Andy Li, Rippling

Presto is used for a variety of cases, but tends to be used for larger scale analytical queries. We have been transitioning to using Presto to power our data platform and customer-facing scripting language, RQL (Rippling Query Language) to run arbitrary customer queries to power core products. Presto helps enable diverse, federated querying at scale. In this talk, Andy will cover where Presto sits in Rippling’s ecosystem as a core query layer, our collaboration and contributions for closer integration with Apache Pinot, and learnings on using Presto to handle a large variety of query patterns.

Extending Presto at LinkedIn with a Smart Catalog Layer LinkedIn

In this talk, Walaa describes how LinkedIn extended its Presto Hive Catalog with a smart logical abstraction layer that is capable of reasoning about logical views with UDFs by using two core components, Coral and Transport UDFs. Coral is a view virtualization library, powered by Apache Calcite, that represents views using their logical query plans. Walaa shows how LinkedIn leverages Coral abstractions to decouple view expression language from the execution engine, and hence execute non-Presto-SQL views inside Presto, and achieve on-the-fly query rewrite for data governance and query optimization.
