Hey! Presto - Facebook's latest open source code
Facebook, in their now traditional goal of taking on big data problems, solving them and then open sourcing the result, have open-sourced Presto, a distributed SQL query engine “optimized for ad-hoc analysis at interactive speed”. This type of app is designed for the folks who need to work out what people who like chips and cheese and rock but dont like bagels or opera also have, statistically, in common. Its a simple enough question, but when you get up to Facebook scale, its a hard question to answer.
