Amazon QuickSight Adds Support for Amazon EMR with new Presto and Apache Spark Connectors
Today, we added two new connectors for Presto and Apache Spark. Presto is an open source distributed SQL query engine for running interactive analytic queries against datasets ranging from gigabytes to petabytes. Like Presto, Apache Spark is an open-source, distributed processing system commonly used for big data workloads. Amazon QuickSight customers can now connect to Presto and Spark (with LDAP authentication enabled) running on Amazon EMR 5.5.0 or above, or self-hosted clusters on EC2 and analyze their big data at interactive speed.
