I've been using PrestoDB for a few months now, and I'm deeply in love. It's such a well-designed piece of technology. The query execution engine is a tremendous boon to anyone with inconvenient-sized data. And it does most (all?) of ANSI-SQL!
- threeseed 9y agoSpark SQL is actually ANSI SQL. Plus you can mix and match R, Scala and SQL all together.
- dswalter 9y agoI used to use Spark SQL for this purpose, but I've switched. I now use Spark for when I want to transform data. But when I'm writing ad-hoc data exploration/investigation queries, PrestoDB is my jam; it's what it's designed for. Parquet as the data storage method makes both of these quite workable.
