Carson Wang is a big data software engineer at Intel, focusing on developing and improving new big data technologies. Yuanjian is a senior engineer and the lead for distributed computing team at Baidu. 

In this talk, we will explore Intel and Baidu’s joint efforts to address challenges in large scale and offer an overview of an adaptive execution mode we implemented for Baidu’s Big SQL platform which is based on Spark SQL. At runtime, adaptive execution can change the execution plan to use a better join strategy and handle skewed join automatically. It can also change the number of reducer to better fit the data scale. In general, adaptive execution decreases the effort involved in tuning SQL query parameters and improves the execution performance by choosing a better execution plan and parallelism at runtime.
