One quick detail on the Trino description is that not only are some of the initial developers but all of the creators and the majority of contributors (https://github.com/prestodb/presto/graphs/contributors?from=...) and still have contributed the majority of the code in both Presto (https://github.com/prestodb/presto/graphs/contributors)/Trin... (https://github.com/trinodb/trino/graphs/contributors).

To really jump into this, take a look at https://trino.io/blog/2020/12/27/announcing-trino.html.

A few more stats and info:

Trino commits: 22,383 Presto commits: 18,582

Yeah, when I was looking into this stuff it was sad to see the blog post about why Trino had to switch names. Unsurprisingly given the history, the Trino blog was the only place I could find written-up details about things like how to name files so they work with the new version of bucketing. The new features look really neat and hope the project has (continues to have) success!

Thanks! If you haven't, feel free to join our slack if you have any further questions. https://trino.io/slack.html

We're trying to improve the docs and blog about confusing topics. We also started a twitchcast to dig into various technical topics around Trino: https://www.twitch.tv/trinodb. You can catch old episodes here: https://trino.io/broadcast/episodes.html.

Thanks!

You mean Hive bucketing v2? It was a fun project.

Yep! I had a situation where I wanted more than one file per bucket (for the sake of other code that uses the same data), and needed the improved bucketing for that.
