Fireside Chat: Journey to Innovation: Unleashing the Power of Open Source Through Open Governance

The Presto Foundation is the organization that oversees the development of the Presto open source project. Hosted at the Linux Foundation, the Presto Foundation operates under a community governance model with representation from all its members. In this fireside chat, we’ll hear more from Girish Baliga, Chair of the Presto Foundation, on what it actually means to be a Presto Foundation member and why this governance model is so important for open source projects. We’ll also talk with Vikram Murali of IBM, the newest member of the Presto Foundation. He’ll share more about IBM’s journey to Presto, how they’re using it in IBM’s new watsonx.data lakehouse, and why the Presto Foundation played an important role in IBM’s decision to choose Presto.

Velociraptor – The Next Generation of RaptorX – Vladimir Rodionov, Carrot Cache

Vladimir Rodionov, founder of Carrot Cache will present the Velociraptor – the next evolution of PrestoDB hierarchical caching framework RaptorX. Velociraptor enables efficient data and meta-data caching well beyond RaptorX limits in terms of number of data files (multi-billions), number of table partitions (multi-millions) and number of table columns (multi-thousands). Velociraptor replaces all five RaptorX caches (Hive meta-data, file list, query result fragments, ORC/Parquet meta-data and data I/O) with a scalable solution, based on Carrot Cache, which does not pollute JVM heap memory, does not affect Java Garbage Collector, keeps all data and meta-data off Java heap memory or on disk and can scale well beyond server’s physical RAM limit. Velociraptor supports server restart, by quickly saving and loading data to/from disk for automatic cache warm up.
