Running PrestoDB on Kubernetes with Ahana Cloud and AWS EKS
PrestoDB is built to be cloud agnostic and container-friendly, but getting it to run on Kubernetes in the cloud can be challenging. In this talk, Gary Stafford (AWS) and Dipti Borkar (Ahana) will discuss: Why use the in-VPC deployment model with AWS and demo, etc – Deploying PrestoDB on AWS EKS using the Ahana Cloud managed service within the user’s AWS account.
Parquet Column Level Access Control with Presto
Apache Parquet is the major columnar file storage format used by Apache Presto and several other query engines in many big data analytic frameworks today. In a lot of use cases, a portion of the column data is highly sensitive and must be protected. Column encryption at the file format level is supported in the Parquet community. Due to the rewritten code of Parquet in Presto, Parquet column encryption at Presto needs to be ported with modifications to the Presto code page. And the integration with Key Management Service (KMS) and other query engines like Hive and Spark is another challenge. In this talk, we will show the work we have done for enabling Presto for Parquet column decryption including challenges, solutions, integration with Hive/Spark Parquet column encryption and look forward to the next step of encryption work.
Presto at Walmart and enhancements for cross cloud query federation
In this talk we are going to introduce Presto cross environment query federation which will enable query execution across different clouds and on-prem Presto clusters. This helps in reducing the network data transfer which results in lower Egress and Ingress costs when we are querying across clouds.
Presto and Apache Hudi
In this talk we are going to introduce Hudi, discuss different table/query types and how Hudi integrates with Presto to support these queries. We like to share our experience on how this integration has evolved over time and also discuss upcoming file listing and query planning improvements in Presto Hudi queries.
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.
Optimizing Presto for Uber scale
In this talk, we present some of the work streams we have underway at Uber to optimize Presto performance. In particular, we will cover enabling aggregation pushdown in queries in order to use statistics in the file headers/footers, our investigations into and attempts to efficiently executing approximate queries, and our experience with humongous object allocation in Presto.
Presto on Spark – Facebook – Virtual Meetup
At Facebook, we have spent the past several years in independently building and scaling both Presto and Spark to Facebook scale batch workloads. It is now increasingly evident that there is significant value in coupling Presto’s state-of-art low-latency evaluation with Spark’s robust and fault tolerant execution engine. In this talk, we’ll take a deep dive in Presto and Spark architecture with a focus on key differentiators (e.g., disaggregated shuffle) that are required to further scale Presto.
Building the Presto Open Source Community – Ahana Round Table
In this round table moderated by Eric Kavanagh of The Bloor Group, panelists from Uber, Facebook, Ahana, and Alibaba will discuss all aspects of building a thriving open source community around PrestoDB including why Presto is so popular & the problems it solves, the open source model the foundation follows, why governance and transparency are so important to an open source community, and what the community looks for in open source projects.
Common Sub Expression Optimization at Facebook
In complex analytics queries, we often see repeated expressions, for example parsing the same JSON column but extracting different fields, elaborate CASE statement with common predicates and different ones. Previously, Presto will compute the same expression many times as they appear in query. With common sub expression optimization, we would only evaluate the same expression once within the same project operator or filter operator. In our workload, we’ve seen 3x improvements on certain queries with expensive common sub expressions like JSON_PARSE. Microbenchmark also shows a consistent ~10% performance improvement for simple common sub-expressions like x + y. In this talk, we will talk about how this is implemented.
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.
Presto for Real Time Analytics at Uber – Ankit Sultana, Uber
The Real Time Analytics Platform at Uber serves 100M+ queries daily and is used for several critical features: from end-user app features to radius selection for Uber Eats. All these queries are proxied via a custom internal fork of Presto (named Neutrino) that is optimized for low-latency/high-throughput (50ms latency at 1000s of RPS). With this talk we plan to share our learnings over the last 6 months and how we run Presto reliably at this scale for real-time analytics.
Free-Forever Managed Service for Presto for your Cloud-Native Open SQL Lakehouse – Wen Phan, Ahana
Getting started with a do-it-yourself approach to standing up an open SQL Lakehouse can be challenging and cumbersome. Ahana Cloud Community Edition dramatically simplifies it and gives you the ability to learn and validate Presto for your open SQL Lakehouse—for free. In this session, we’ll show you how easy it is to register for, stand up, and use the Ahana Cloud Community Edition to query on top of your Lakehouse.
Building a Modern Data Platform with Presto – Denis Krivenko, Platform24
Hadoop era is gone. Cloud computing is today’s reality. But… What if you cannot use public clouds? What if your cloud does not provide data platform capabilities? What if you want your solution to be cloud agnostic? In this case you create your own cloud native data platform on Kubernetes. In the session Denis will talk about reasons for building analytics data platform solution in Platform24, cloud native data platform architecture principles, data stack they use and why Presto plays one of the key roles in it.
