Native Execution Engine Landscape

Different Distributed Query Execution Architectures. Same Velox Library. Different Results.

Why Architecture Matters

ClipperDB/Spark

Fully Native Spark Worker Architecture

Fully native Spark query plan execution

Shared asynchronous data cache

Streaming exchange

Low query variance

Efficient query fault tolerance

Prestissimo 

Fully Native Presto Worker Architecture

Fully native Presto query plan execution

Shared asynchronous data cache

Streaming exchange

Low query variance

Gluten/Lightning 

JVM-Based Velox Integrations

JVM executors in workers JNI with Velox

Separate JVM, Arrow and Velox memory domains

Duplicated Velox caches in each executor

Exchange materialization overhead

Clipper DB and Prestissimo

Same Economics: 2x+ Speedup on Half the Infrastructure
