Presto is a distributed SQL query engine for running interactive queries against large datasets across heterogeneous data sources such as Hive, object storage, and relational databases. It is a Java-based server that scales horizontally across a cluster and supports ANSI SQL with connectors for many backends.
Use cases
- run interactive SQL queries on data in S3 or HDFS
- federate queries across multiple databases and data lakes
- query Hive tables with low latency
- build a lakehouse analytics layer over Parquet files
- ad-hoc analytics on petabyte-scale datasets
- replace Hive for faster big data SQL workloads
When to choose
- you need fast, interactive SQL over large distributed datasets
- you want to query many heterogeneous sources through one SQL interface
- you operate a data lake or lakehouse and need a mature query engine
When to avoid
- you need a small embedded or single-node database
- you want heavy transactional OLTP workloads
- you prefer a simpler managed warehouse without cluster operations
