Teradata gets behind Facebook’s Presto SQL engine | #HadoopSummit by Heather Johnson | Jul 21, 2015 By announcing a commitment to contribute to Presto’s open-source development, Teradata Corp. created new opportunities for the next-generation, open-source SQL query engine developed and used by Facebook, Inc. “We saw this as an exciting opportunity for Teradata to put its weight behind this project and become a stronger member of the open-source community,” Teradata Center for Hadoop VP and General Manager Justin Borgman told theCUBE during Hadoop Summit 2015. Companies such as Airbnb, DropBox, Gree, Groupon and Netflix have already adopted Presto. Engineering culture focuses on open source “We have a strong engineering culture focused on open source,” said Jay Tang, lead of Interactive Analytics Infrastructure for Facebook, who also joined theCUBE. “When we started a project on Presto a couple years ago, we knew from the beginning that we would like to open-source the project.” The Presto project can be found here. Teradata’s support of Presto comes about a year after the company acquired Big Data startup Hadapt, Inc.. “Teradata has a view of the unified data architecture, where you have multiple data platforms within your enterprise,” said Borgman. “Hadoop is an increasingly important part of that view. We want to have the biggest impact we can, and open source is playing a major role.” @theCUBE #HadoopSummit
