Best practices for presto sql

Presto Specific

  • Don’t SELECT *, Specify explicit column names (columnar store)
  • Avoid large JOINs (filter each table first)
    • In PRESTO tables are joined in the order they are listed!!
    • Join small tables earlier in the plan and leave larger fact tables to the end
    • Avoid cross joins or 1 to many joins as these can degrade performance
  • Order by and group by take time
    • only use order by in subqueries if it is really necessary
  • When using GROUP BY, order the columns by the highest cardinality (that is, most number of unique values) to the lowest.
