Query local parquet using presto

Using spark and drill, I am able to query local parquet files.

Does presto provide the same capability? In other words, is it possible to query local parquet files using presto - without going through HDFS or hive?

Solution

  • I did not find a straightforward way to do this. This has been long time now and I am not sure if there are other options available at the moment.

    What I did was; create a custom hive meta store that would return the schemas, tables with paths of my parquet files. In presto, configured it using that meta store and that worked pretty fine.
