Presto (C++)

Presto (C++) is a version of Presto workers that are implemented in C++ instead of Java by using the Velox library.

Presto (C++) aims to enhance performance for data lakes without requiring a JVM on worker nodes. It supports several connectors, including Hive and Iceberg, and focuses on improved integration with data warehousing systems.

Presto (C++) features

Task management: Presto C++ includes HTTP endpoints that allow users to monitor and manage tasks. This feature enhances operational oversight and makes it easier to track ongoing processes.
Remote function execution: Enables executing functions on remote nodes, which enhance scalability and distributed processing capabilities, making data processing more efficient across a network of nodes.
Authentication: Uses JSON Web Tokens (JWT) for secure internal communication between nodes, ensuring that data remains secure and tamper-proof during transmission.
Data caching: Implements asynchronous data caching with prefetching capabilities. This optimizes data retrieval and processing speed by anticipating data needs and caching it in advance.
Performance Tuning: Offers various session properties for performance tuning, including settings for spill thresholds and compression. This allows users to fine-tune performance parameters according to their specific needs, ensuring optimal performance of data processing tasks.
