Since May 2023, we have been evaluating the performance of Trino and Hive on MR3 using the TPC-DS Benchmark. As we ran all experiments in the same cluster and with the same scale factor of 10TB, we can now observe steady performance improvements of both systems over the past two years. In our latest article, we report that Trino maintains the lead in average response time under sequential workloads, while Hive on MR3 consistently outperforms Trino under concurrent workloads.

In our previous article, we evaluated the performance of Trino 468, Spark 4.0.0-RC2, and Hive 4.0.0 on MR3 2.0 using the TPC-DS Benchmark with a scale factor of 10TB.

• Correctness. Trino returns incorrect results for both subqueries of query 23.
• Total execution time (Sequential). Trino is the fastest, followed closely by Hive on MR3 (4,442 seconds vs 4,874 seconds). Spark is the slowest, skewed by a few outlier queries (15,678 seconds).
• Average response time (Sequential). Trino maintains the lead in average response time, with Hive on MR3 again closely behind (17.49 seconds vs 19.76 seconds).
• Longest execution time (Concurrent). Under concurrent workloads (10, 20, and 40 clients), Hive on MR3 consistently outperforms both Trino and Spark.

In this article, we evaluate the performance of Trino, Spark, Hive on Tez, and Hive on MR3 using the TPC-DS Benchmark with a scale factor of 10TB.

1. Trino 468 (released in December 2024)
2. Spark 4.0.0-RC2 (released in March 2025)
3. Hive 4.0.0 on Tez (built in February 2025)
4. Hive 4.0.0 on MR3 2.0 (released in April 2025)

Trino is an MPP-style query engine and is not fault-tolerant. The other three systems are fully fault-tolerant.

Introduction​

Recently Apache Hive 4 was released after a hiatus of several years. We have released Hive 4 on MR3 which replaces Tez with MR3 as the default execution engine in Hive 4.

Introduction​

In our previous article, we evaluate the performance of Trino 418 and Hive on MR3 1.7 using the TPC-DS Benchmark with a scale factor of 10TB.

• In terms of the total running time, the two systems are comparable: Trino 7424 seconds vs Hive on MR3 7415 seconds.
• In terms of the geometric mean of running times, Trino is faster than Hive on MR3: Trino 21.75 seconds vs Hive on MR3 27.68 seconds.
• Trino returns wrong answers on query 23 after running for 1756 seconds.
• Trino fails to complete query 72 after running for 156 seconds.

Introduction​

In this article, we evaluate the performance of the following systems.

1. Trino 418 (released on May 17, 2023)
2. Spark 3.4.0 (released on Apr 13, 2023)
3. Hive 3.1.3 on MR3 1.7 (released on May 15, 2023)
