May 1, 2026May 2026 performance and reliability snapshot for prestodb/presto: delivered comprehensive enhancements to Iceberg-backed materialized views (MVs) that improve data freshness, query performance, and operational safety. Key work includes in-place MV property updates with ALTER MV SET PROPERTIES, robust concurrency controls via a reusable metastore lock to serialize metadata changes, and safe handling of storage identifiers. Also advanced query optimization and pruning through HAVING support in MV rewrites and predicate pushdown of _last_updated_sequence_number, plus bounded incremental refresh to cap work per refresh. Introduced cost-based strategies for MV stitching and incremental refresh to drive dynamic, cost-aware planning. Fixed Hive-backed MV concurrency issue to prevent duplicate view creation and added warnings for cases where stitching or incremental refresh falls back to a full recompute. Overall, these changes reduce stale data risk, improve runtime performance for MV-accelerated workloads, and lower operational risk and maintenance cost.
