Writing on Apache Trino

Federated SQL — one query across the catalogs you already have, from object storage to RDBMS. Where it stops: Trino queries catalogs; it does not manage a lakehouse. Writes depend on the underlying connector.

Trino refuses a password over plain HTTP

Measured against a coordinator with authentication switched off, a basic auth header over plain HTTP still answers 401, so the connection is refused early.

Monitoring a query engine that stores nothing

Nodes, sessions, slow queries and per-catalog connectors all report, while database size is N/A rather than zero, because there is no storage to measure.

Trino plans are planned, never analyzed

Only the planning form is ever emitted, because the analyze form executes the statement and a plan view reaching object storage twice is a real invoice.
