Presto SQL: Join Algorithms

Presto is a distributed big data SQL engine initially developed by Facebook and later open-sourced and being led by the community. The last article Presto SQL: Types of Joins covers the fundamentals of join operators available in Presto and how they can be used in SQL queries. With that knowledge, you can now learn the internals of Presto and how it executes join operations internally. This article presents how Presto executes join operations and the algorithms used to join tables.
