join-distribution-type
#
Type: string
Allowed values:
AUTOMATIC
,PARTITIONED
,BROADCAST
Default value:
AUTOMATIC
Session property:
join_distribution_type
The type of distributed join to use. When set to PARTITIONED
, Trino
uses hash distributed joins. When set to BROADCAST
, it broadcasts the
right table to all nodes in the cluster that have data from the left table.
Partitioned joins require redistributing both tables using a hash of the join key.
This can be slower, sometimes substantially, than broadcast joins, but allows much
larger joins. In particular broadcast joins are faster, if the right table is
much smaller than the left. However, broadcast joins require that the tables on the right
side of the join after filtering fit in memory on each node, whereas distributed joins
only need to fit in distributed memory across all nodes. When set to AUTOMATIC
,
Trino makes a cost based decision as to which distribution type is optimal.
It considers switching the left and right inputs to the join. In AUTOMATIC
mode, Trino defaults to hash distributed joins if no cost could be computed, such as if
the tables do not have statistics.
redistribute-writes
#
Type: boolean
Default value:
true
Session property:
redistribute_writes
This property enables redistribution of data before writing. This can eliminate the performance impact of data skew when writing by hashing it across nodes in the cluster. It can be disabled, when it is known that the output data set is not skewed, in order to avoid the overhead of hashing and redistributing all the data across the network.
protocol.v1.alternate-header-name
#
Type: string
The 351 release of Trino changes the HTTP client protocol headers to start with
X-Trino-
. Clients for versions 350 and lower expect the HTTP headers to
start with X-Presto-
, while newer clients expect X-Trino-
. You can support these
older clients by setting this property to Presto
.
The preferred approach to migrating from versions earlier than 351 is to update all clients together with the release, or immediately afterwards, and then remove usage of this property.
Ensure to use this only as a temporary measure to assist in your migration efforts.
protocol.v1.prepared-statement-compression.length-threshold
#
Type: integer
Default value:
2048
Prepared statements that are submitted to Trino for processing, and are longer than the value of this property, are compressed for transport via the HTTP header to improve handling, and to avoid failures due to hitting HTTP header size limits.
protocol.v1.prepared-statement-compression.min-gain
#
Type: integer
Default value:
512
Prepared statement compression is not applied if the size gain is less than the configured value. Smaller statements do not benefit from compression, and are left uncompressed.
