'''Trino''' is an [[Open-source software|open-source]] distributed [[SQL]] query engine designed to query large data sets distributed over one or more heterogeneous data sources.<ref>{{cite web |title=Overview — Trino 393468 Documentation |url=https://trino.io/docs/393468/overview.html |website=trino.io |access-date=2527 AugustDecember 20222024}}</ref> Trino can query [[Datadata lake|datalakes]]s that contain a variety of file formats such as simple row-oriented CSV and JSON data files to more performant [[Free and open source software|open]] [[Column-oriented DBMS|column-oriented]] data file formats like [[Apache ORC|ORC]] or [[Apache Parquet|Parquet]]<ref name="hive-connector" /><ref name="iceberg-connector" /> residing on different storage systems like [[Apache Hadoop#Hadoop distributed file system|HDFS]], [[Amazon S3|AWS S3]], [[Google Cloud Storage]], or [[Microsoft Azure#Storage services|Azure Blob Storage]]<ref name="trino-definitive-guide-ch1" /> using the [[Apache Hive|Hive]]<ref name="hive-connector">{{cite web |title=Hive connector — Trino 393 Documentation |url=https://trino.io/docs/393/connector/hive.html |website=trino.io}}</ref> and [[List of Apache Software Foundation projects#Active projects|Iceberg]]<ref name="iceberg-connector">{{cite web |title=Iceberg connector — Trino 393 Documentation |url=https://trino.io/docs/393/connector/iceberg.html |website=trino.io |access-date=25 August 2022}}</ref> table formats.

== History ==

In January 2019, the original creators of [[Presto (SQL query engine)|Presto]], Martin Traverso, Dain Sundstrom, and David Phillips, created a [[Fork (software development)|fork]] of the Presto project. They initially kept the name Presto and used the PrestoSQL web handle to distinguish it from the original PrestoDB project. Simultaneously, they announced the Presto Software Foundation. The foundation is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to the advancement of the Presto open source distributed SQL query engine.<ref name="2019psf">{{Cite web|url=https://www.prweb.com/releases/presto_software_foundation_launches_to_advance_presto_open_source_community/prweb16070792presto-software-foundation-launches-to-advance-presto-open-source-community-815915772.htmhtml|title=Presto Software Foundation Launches to Advance Presto Open Source Community|website=PRWeb|access-date=2019-02-01}}</ref><ref name="2019psf2">{{Cite web|url=https://thenewstack.io/prestos-new-foundation-signals-growth-for-the-big-data-sql-engine/|title=Presto's New Foundation Signals Growth for the Big Data SQL Engine|date=2019-01-31|website=The New Stack|language=en-US|access-date=2019-02-01}}</ref>

In December 2020, PrestoSQL was rebranded as Trino. The Trino Software Foundation, code base, and all other PrestoSQL assets were renamed as part of the rebrand.<ref name="2020rename">{{cite web |last1=Traverso |first1=Martin |last2=Sundstrom |first2=Dain |last3=Phillips |first3=David |title=We're rebranding PrestoSQL as Trino |url=https://trino.io/blog/2020/12/27/announcing-trino.html |website=trino.io |access-date=7 September 2021 |language=en |date=27 December 2020}}</ref>

Presto and Trino were originally designed and developed by Martin, Dain, David, and Eric Hwang at [[Facebook]] to allow data analysts to run interactive queries on its large [[data warehouse]] in [[Apache Hadoop]]. Trino shares the first six years of development with the Presto project.<ref>{{cite web |title=Contributors to trinodb/trino |url=https://github.com/trinodb/trino/graphs/contributors?from=2012-08-05&to=2018-08-05&type=c |website=GitHub |access-date=20 September 2021 |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Contributors to prestodb/presto |url=https://github.com/prestodb/presto/graphs/contributors?from=2012-08-05&to=2018-08-05&type=c |website=GitHub |access-date=20 September 2021 |language=en}}</ref> To learn more about the earlier history of Trino, you can reference [[Presto (SQL query engine)#History|the Presto history section]].

Trino is used in many data platforms and products from cloud providers and other vendors. Customization of these products varies from pure Trino usage to heavily customized systems to run a data platform or integration in specialized data platforms for usage with specific data. [https://trino.io/users Examples include Amazon Athena, Starburst Galaxy, Dune, and many others.]
