I've been wanting to create a playlist of shorts called "in a minute" where I do just that -- I try to explain something IN-A-MINUTE. I'll start with stuff I know from my professional life, but it could wander off as time goes on!

Apache Iceberg snapshots can be complex—but understanding their linear history is key for managing large, evolving datasets.

@LesterMartinATL breaks it all down with clear visuals and step-by-step examples.

Up for a history lesson on #Hive, #Trino, and #Spark focused on when each gained their competency with SQL, performance, and durability?

Have a good hack for generating a TOC on your #Medium posts? I just used this one and it was pretty decent, but would love to know if there is something better.

Could you benefit from a highly curated list of web resources to learn more about #Trino and @starburstdata ?

@TshasankDa pulled one together at https://t.co/b7AQEob5iB

💡How do Apache Spark & Starburst work together for AI?

@LesterMartinATL breaks it down: https://t.co/l49pds1c3e

Spark preps data. Starburst queries it fast. Together, they supercharge AI workflows. ⚡

It's hard to argue with this "final verdict" when comparing #Impala & #Trino

Stick with Impala if you’re deep in Hadoop.
Adopt Trino if you need flexibility, cloud support, and federated queries.
