Data Lake Analytics(DLA) is a large scale serverless data federation service on Alibaba Cloud. One of its serverless analytics engine is based on Presto. The DLA Presto engine supports a variety of data sources and is widely used in different application scenarios in the cloud. In this session, we will talk about the system architecture of DLA Presto engine, as well as the challenges and solutions. In particular, we will introduce the use of alluxio local cache to solve performance issues on OSS data sources caused by access delay and OSS bandwidth limitation.
