Presto is a well known open source distributed SQL query engine for running interactive analytic queries against data sources of all sizes ranging from gigabytes to petabytes. It was developed by Facebook to analyze petabytes of data and was later open sourced. Presto does not provide any storage but can be used with a variety of data sources like Hive, Cassandra, Relational databases, and even with some propriety databases as well.
In this blog, we are going to discuss how we can use Presto to query data from one of the other upcoming open source solutions, CarbonData. CarbonData is a fully indexed columnar and Hadoop native data-store for processing heavy analytical workloads and detailed queries on big data. CarbonData allows faster interactive querying, using advanced columnar storage, index, compression, and encoding techniques to improve computing efficiency. Presto with CarbonData helps in speeding up queries by an order of magnitude over PetaBytes of data. https://goo.gl/nPvN7c #DataIntegration #ML
