Presto SQL Functions – Facebook
In this talk we will show how to use the recently introduced SQL function feature, how it works, and the ongoing work to support invoking arbitrary functions remotely with remote UDF server.
Dynamic UDF Framework and its Applications – Rongrong Zhong, Alluxio & Yanbing Zhang, Bytedance
Presto supports dynamically registered User Defined Functions (UDFs) since 2020. Over the years, we used this framework to add support for SQL UDFs and remote / external UDFs. One common community request in the UDF domain is to support Hive UDFs. Many companies have legacy Hive pipelines, and engineers who are familiar with HQL and Hive UDFs. With remote UDF, one can implement Hive UDF support as UDFs running on the remote cluster. But since HiveUDFs are written in Java, we can also run them inside the engine. We extended the dynamic UDF framework to support Java UDFs, and used this new extension to add HiveUDF support in Presto. With this feature, users can directly use their familiar HiveUDFs and UDAFs in their Presto query.
Drag and Drop Query Builder for PrestoDB – Ravishankar Nair, PassionBytes
You use multiple tools for databases, for example Azure Data Studio for SQLServer access, Toad or SQLDeveloper for Oracle access, MySQLWorkbench for MySQL databases. Imagine we have one tool and we can query any database, bring any table from any catalog to a single canvas! Now you join, the underlying PrestoDB compatible query is generated. Click a button, you get the profiled data, including distributions and correlations. An amazing tool in action.
(Chinese) Presto at Bytedance – Hive UDF Wrapper for Presto
Presto has been widely used at Bytedance in several ways such as in the data warehouse, BI tools, ads etc. And, the Presto team at Bytedance has also delivered many key features and optimizations such as the Hive UDF wrapper, coordinator, runtime filter and so on which extend Presto usages and enhance Presto stabilities. Nowadays, most companies will use both Hive (or Spark) and Presto together. But Presto UDFs have very different syntax and internal mechanisms compared with Hive UDFs. This restricts Presto usage while users need to maintain 2 kinds of functions. In this talk, we will present a way to execute Hive UDF/UDAF inside Presto.
