== Merger proposal ==

[[User:Frap|Frap]] has proposed to merge the [[Presto_(SQL_query_engine) |Presto]] article into the [[Trino_(SQL_query_engine) |Trino]] article. A merger proposal wasn't added so I am adding one and am happy to let Frap describe their reasons for this proposal. Until then I will list some of the pros and cons to this in my opinion as a Developer Advocate on the Trino project and employee at a vendor built a top of Trino, Starburst.

To me, these pages are separate for a reason. The projects have distinct foundations (Presto with the Presto Foundation under the Linux Foundation and Trino under the Trino Software Foundation). The projects have diverged significantly <ref>https://trino.io/blog/2022/08/02/leaving-facebook-meta-best-for-trino.html</ref>. There are a significant number of projects that exist in Trino (such as support for fault-tolerance <ref>https://trino.io/blog/2022/05/05/tardigrade-launch.html</ref>), that do not exist in Presto. Likewise, Presto has started to move their efforts to supporting integration with Meta project Velox<ref>https://engineering.fb.com/2022/08/31/open-source/velox/</ref> which Trino does not plan on supporting.

Many other projects<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_software_forks</ref> have a separate wiki page for multiple forks. Trino and Presto have already been added to this list, to help clarify this.

The biggest advantage to keeping these two separate is that people interested in learning more about the technologies have a clear understanding that these are now two distinct projects that share history. Depending on the context that they are learning, it can be confusing if someone searches for Trino and winds up on a Presto page to a different project and also it would be just as confusing if they were searching for the Facebook Presto project and wound up on a Trino page. The articles were written in such a way that they reference each other well and make the shared history clear while providing facts about each of the individual projects moving forward. This also avoids [[Wikipedia:Content_forking]].

For these reasons, I propose against merging these two articles.

:You bring up some good points and I can buy your arguments. The reason I proposed the merger was that both articles were almost identical. If Trino and Presto diverge enough that the content of the articles were to be different then they would warrant separate articles. [[User:Frap|Frap]] ([[User talk:Frap|talk]]) 14:30, 25 February 2023 (UTC)

::Yeah, there are plenty of differences to be discussed that I would like to point out on both pages. If you would be interested in writing them I can provide suggestions and sources, but I myself can't write about it as I have a conflict of interest. Would you want to help showcase the differences between these projects? [[User:Brianolsen2|Brianolsen2]] ([[User talk:Brianolsen2|talk]]) 16:13, 25 February 2023 (UTC)

::[[User:Frap|Frap]], any thoughts here? Would love to get some help updating these pages so they aren't as identical and really highlight the differences to lighten the load of folks learning about them. [[User:Brianolsen2|Brianolsen2]] ([[User talk:Brianolsen2|talk]]) 20:18, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

::Once clear change we probably should make is removing [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Presto_%28SQL_query_engine%29&diff=prev&oldid=1068161898&diffmode=source the Trino architecture from the Presto page]. This information is redundant and as shown in the picture, actually describes Trino's architecture versus Presto's.

::This will make the articles look different since that was copied in from the Trino page. [[User:Brianolsen2|Brianolsen2]] ([[User talk:Brianolsen2|talk]]) 18:46, 14 March 2023 (UTC)

:I'm going to remove the merger proposal for now since this conversation has gone stale. [[User:Brianolsen2|Brianolsen2]] ([[User talk:Brianolsen2|talk]]) 20:29, 20 April 2023 (UTC)
