Enhancing Apache Hadoop Data Management with Trino and Starburst

For nearly two decades, companies have relied on the Apache Hadoop ecosystem to manage large-scale data processing, but its complexity and performance limitations have led to the adoption of advanced tools like Trino and Starburst to enhance data management. While Hadoop's original framework, including MapReduce and HDFS, focuses on affordable big data analytics, it struggles with modern demands such as real-time ingestion and efficient data storage. Trino, a massively parallel processing SQL query engine, and Starburst, a platform enhancing Trino, bypass these limitations by allowing direct data querying from sources, reducing network traffic, and improving processing speeds through cost-based optimizations. Additionally, Starburst supports federated data architecture, enabling data storage in scalable cloud services, and integrates with existing security and governance frameworks, thus offering a comprehensive solution that blends the accessibility of SQL with the scalability of modern data architectures.
