Building a high-performance data lake analytics engine at Alibaba Cloud with Presto+Alluxio
April 27, 2021
ALLUXIO DAY III 2021
April 27, 2021
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. We will discuss the principle of alluxio local cache and some improvements we have made.
