The Presto JDBC Driver supports connection pooling: This article shows how to connect faster to Presto data from Web apps in Jetty.

The CData JDBC driver for Presto is easy to integrate with Java Web applications. This article shows how to efficiently connect to Presto data in Jetty by configuring the driver for connection pooling. You will configure a JNDI resource for Presto in Jetty.

About Presto Data Integration

Accessing and integrating live data from Trino and Presto SQL engines has never been easier with CData. Customers rely on CData connectivity to:

  • Access data from Trino v345 and above (formerly PrestoSQL) and Presto v0.242 and above (formerly PrestoDB)
  • Read and write access all of the data underlying your Trino or Presto instances
  • Optimized query generation for maximum throughput.

Presto and Trino allow users to access a variety of underlying data sources through a single endpoint. When paired with CData connectivity, users get pure, SQL-92 access to their instances, allowing them to integrate business data with a data warehouse or easily access live data directly from their preferred tools, like Power BI and Tableau.

In many cases, CData's live connectivity surpasses the native import functionality available in tools. One customer was unable to effectively use Power BI due to the size of the datasets needed for reporting. When the company implemented the CData Power BI Connector for Presto they were able to generate reports in real-time using the DirectQuery connection mode.


Getting Started


Configure the JDBC Driver for Salesforce as a JNDI Data Source

Follow the steps below to connect to Salesforce from Jetty.

  1. Enable the JNDI module for your Jetty base. The following command enables JNDI from the command-line:

    java -jar ../start.jar --add-to-startd=jndi
  2. Add the CData and license file, located in the lib subfolder of the installation directory, into the lib subfolder of the context path.

  3. Declare the resource and its scope. Enter the required connection properties in the resource declaration. This example declares the Presto data source at the level of the Web app, in WEB-INF\jetty-env.xml. 

    <Configure id='prestodemo' class="org.eclipse.jetty.webapp.WebAppContext">
 <New id="prestodemo" class="org.eclipse.jetty.plus.jndi.Resource">
 <Arg><Ref refid="prestodemo"/></Arg>
 <Arg>jdbc/prestodb</Arg>
 <Arg>
 <New class="cdata.jdbc.presto.PrestoDriver">
 <Set name="url">jdbc:presto:</Set>
 <Set name="Server">127.0.0.1</Set>
 <Set name="Port">8080</Set>
 </New>
 </Arg>
 </New>
</Configure>

    Set the Server and Port connection properties to connect, in addition to any authentication properties that may be required.

    To enable TLS/SSL, set UseSSL to true.

    Authenticating with LDAP

    In order to authenticate with LDAP, set the following connection properties:

    • AuthScheme: Set this to LDAP.
    • User: The username being authenticated with in LDAP.
    • Password: The password associated with the User you are authenticating against LDAP with.

    Authenticating with Kerberos

    In order to authenticate with KERBEROS, set the following connection properties:

    • AuthScheme: Set this to KERBEROS.
    • KerberosKDC: The Kerberos Key Distribution Center (KDC) service used to authenticate the user.
    • KerberosRealm: The Kerberos Realm used to authenticate the user with.
    • KerberosSPN: The Service Principal Name for the Kerberos Domain Controller.
    • KerberosKeytabFile: The Keytab file containing your pairs of Kerberos principals and encrypted keys.
    • User: The user who is authenticating to Kerberos.
    • Password: The password used to authenticate to Kerberos.

  4. Configure the resource in the Web.xml: 

     jdbc/prestodb
 javax.sql.DataSource
 Container

  5. You can then access Presto with a lookup to java:comp/env/jdbc/prestodb: 

    InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext();
DataSource mypresto = (DataSource)ctx.lookup("java:comp/env/jdbc/prestodb");

The steps above show how to configure the driver in a simple connection pooling scenario. For more use cases and information, see the Working with Jetty JNDI chapter in the Jetty documentation.
