Apache Iceberg optimization: Solving the small files problem in Amazon EMR

AWS Big Data

Iceberg tables store metadata in manifest files. As the number of data files increase, the amount of metadata stored in these manifest files also increases, leading to longer query planning time. The query runtime also increases because it’s proportional to the number of data or metadata file read operations.

Speed up queries with the cost-based optimizer in Amazon Athena

AWS Big Data

Starting today, the Athena SQL engine uses a cost-based optimizer (CBO), a new feature that uses table and column statistics stored in the AWS Glue Data Catalog as part of the table’s metadata. Let’s discuss some of the cost-based optimization techniques that contributed to improved query performance.
