5 Reasons Why AI Is the Future of SQL – Jared Zhao, AskEdith

SQL remains ubiquitous for data retrieval and analytics, yet can be tedious to write, and is downright unusable for business users. The 2-5 business day turnaround time for data projects is both disruptive and frustrating for business users. Data teams are becoming increasingly overwhelmed, and organizations are pushing to empower their “citizen data analysts.” With the advent of AI English-to-SQL platforms like AskEdith, now anyone can work with and query Presto using plain English questions. AskEdith integrates natively with web interfaces like Ahana for a seamless analytics experience.

Predicting Resource Usages of Future Queries Based on 10M Presto Queries at Twitter

Here, Chunxu and Beinan would like to share what they have learned in developing a highly-scalable query predictor service through applying machine learning algorithms to ~10 million historical Presto queries to classify queries based on their CPU times and peak memory bytes. At Twitter, this service is helping to improve the performance of Presto clusters and provide expected execution statistics on Business Intelligence dashboards.

A Tour of Presto Iceberg Connector – Beinan Wang, Alluxio & Chunxu Tang, Twitter

Apache Iceberg is an open table format for huge analytic datasets. The Presto Iceberg connector consolidates the SQL engine and the table format, to empower high-performant data analytics. Here, Beinan and Chunxu would like to discuss and share the architectural design of the Presto Iceberg connector, advanced Iceberg feature support (such as native iceberg connector, row-level deletion, and iceberg v2 support), and the future roadmap.

Presto and Apache Iceberg – Chunxu Tang, Twitter

Apache Iceberg is an open table format for huge analytic datasets. At Twitter, engineers are working on the Presto-Iceberg connector, aiming to bring high-performance data analytics on Iceberg to the Presto ecosystem. Here, Chunxu would like to share what they have learned during the development, hoping to shed light on the future work of interactive queries.
