Perform fast interactive analytics against different data sources using the Presto high-performance, distributed SQL query engine. With this practical guide, you'll learn how to conduct analytics on data where it lives, whether it's Hive, Cassandra, a relational database, or a proprietary data store. Analysts, software engineers, and production engineers will learn how to manage, use, and even develop with Presto.
Initially developed by Facebook, open source Presto is now used by Netflix, Airbnb, LinkedIn, Twitter, Uber, and many other companies. Matt Fuller, Manfred Moser, and Martin Traverso show you how a single Presto query can combine data from multiple sources to allow for analytics across your entire organization.
Get started: Explore Presto's use cases and learn about tools that will help you connect to Presto and query data
Go deeper: Learn Presto's internal workings, including how to connect to and query data sources with support for SQL statements, operators, functions, and more
Put Presto in production: Secure Presto, monitor workloads, tune queries, and connect more applications; learn how other organizations apply Presto
Impressive. From my standpoint, it's a COMPLETE resource on Presto. All my questions have been addressed. In fact, the book covers a lot of ground - probably far more than I actually need :). My favourite chapter was the one about query building and optimisations - the initial example was perfectly chosen to illustrate how it works. Intro to Presto architecture is very well presented as well. Recommended.
I love books that are written by (creators) engineers for (users) engineers. And they are even better when creators explain why they've created given technology, and why I as a user should consider using it. And why not (that's even more important).
This book covers a lot of stuff, from basic to real-world solutions. I've started reading this book to understand Presto as a technology and it's use cases. After the reading and playing with it a bit I can say that I've received much more that I've been looking for. My favorite chapters are two main chapters about SQL building & optimization, a lot of useful stuff there & about integrating presto with other tools, that also give a perspective for what I can use this.
So why not 5 stars if this book is such a good read? Still, I'd like to receive more about query optimization, especially with different connectors usages.
