Quick Stats – Runtime ANALYZE for Better Query Plans – Anant Aneja, Ahana

An optimizer’s plans are only as good as the estimates available for the tables its querying. For queries over recently ingested data that is not yet ANALYZE-d to update table or partition stats, the Presto optimizer flies blind; it is unable to make good query plans and resorts to syntactic join orders. To solve this problem, we propose building ‘Quick Stats’ : By utilizing file level metadata available in open data lake formats such as Delta & Hudi, and by examining stats from Parquet & ORC footers, we can build a representative stats sample at a per partition level. These stats can be cached for use be newer queries, and can also be persisted back to the metastore. New strategies for tuning these stats, such as sampling, can be added to improve their precision.

Shared Foundations Of Composable Data Systems – Biswapesh Chattopadhyay, Google

Data processing systems have evolved significantly over the last decade, driven by various factors such as the advent of cloud computing, increasingly complexity of applications such as ML, HTAP, Streaming, Observability and Graph processing. However, historically, these frameworks have evolved independently, leading to significant fragmentation of the stack. In this talk, I will talk about how this has evolved in the open source and at Meta, and how we are solving this problem through the Shared Foundations effort, leading to composable systems. This has resulted in significantly better performance, more features, higher engineering velocity and a more consistent user experience.

Presto & the Foundations of Open Lake House: Trends & Opportunities – Biswapesh Chattopadhyay, Meta

Building open and shared foundational tech to build a lake house architecture can provide the best-of-breed user experience across the Analytics and ML domains and potentially beyond. In this talk, Biswa will share examples drawn from the evolution of the data stack at Meta over the last few years including efforts towards dialect unification (Sapphire aka Presto-on-Spark and Xstream-IE streaming engine efforts), eval unification (using Velox as the base), eliminating the need for data duplication for interactive analytics by building smart caching (RaptorX), building a best-of-breed file format that works across Analytics and ML (Alpha), and building an open source ML data pre-proc engine (TorchArrow) which shares the core dialect and eval components with Presto.

Open Source Data Lake Analytics: Trends and Opportunities – Biswapesh Chattopadhyay, Meta

Open source data analytics is undergoing an interesting transformation as the industry rapidly evolves around it. Accelerating migration to the cloud, the rise of immensely well funded proprietary vendors, fast evolving needs of the users all contribute to this. This talk goes into detail about the trends and opportunities in the OSS data analytics space, and a call to action on how this space can stay relevant.
