Trino is a distributed SQL query engine that executes analytics queries across heterogeneous data sources (Hadoop, S3, PostgreSQL, MySQL, etc.) without moving data. It uses a coordinator-worker architecture to parallelize query execution across clusters, and provides a JDBC driver, CLI (io.trino.cli.Trino), and HTTP API for interactive and batch query processing. Monorepo structured as Maven multi-module project (pom.xml root). Core engine in trino-main, CLI in trino-cli, connectors in trino-*-connector modules. Each connector implements Connector SPI (io.trino.spi). GitHub Actions workflows (.github/workflows/) orchestrate CI, test matrix generation (build-matrix-from-impacted.py), and release automation.

Data engineers and analysts who need to run SQL queries across multiple data warehouses and data lakes without ETL pipelines; DevOps/SRE teams deploying Trino clusters; plugin developers building connectors for proprietary databases (via trino-spi).

Production-ready and actively maintained. The project is at version 481-SNAPSHOT (per pom.xml), supports reproducible builds as of v449, runs comprehensive tests in CI pipelines (.github/workflows/ci.yml), and has clear contribution guidelines (.github/CONTRIBUTING.md). Weekly release cadence with stable API.

Large monorepo with 82MB of Java code and 40+ plugin connectors creates maintenance complexity and potential for breaking changes across versions. Dependencies include Jackson, Guava, OkHttp3, and jLine (per trino-cli pom.xml)—dependency updates must be coordinated across modules. Java 25.0.1+ requirement is aggressive and may lag some enterprise environments.

Active development toward v481: Java 25 support, connector improvements, query optimization. CI matrix builds filter impacted modules (build-matrix-from-impacted.py suggests smart test selection). PR labeling and stale issue automation configured (.github/workflows/labeler.yml, stale.yml). Reproducible build improvements tracked.

git clone https://github.com/trinodb/trino.git
cd trino
./mvnw clean install -DskipTests

Requires Java 25.0.1+, Docker, macOS/Linux. First build downloads dependencies to ~/.m2/repository (slow), subsequent builds faster.

Daily commands: Run coordinator: java -jar core/dist/target/trino-core-*.jar -Dconfig=etc/config.properties. Run CLI: java -jar cli/target/trino-cli-*-executable.jar --server localhost:8080. Tests: ./mvnw test -pl :module-name (don't run full suite locally, let CI handle it).

• client/trino-cli/src/main/java/io/trino/cli/Trino.java — Entry point for the Trino CLI application; all command-line invocations start here.
• client/trino-cli/src/main/java/io/trino/cli/Console.java — Core REPL loop and interactive query execution engine; essential for understanding the CLI's request/response cycle.
• client/trino-cli/src/main/java/io/trino/cli/QueryRunner.java — Manages query execution lifecycle, result streaming, and error handling; critical for all query operations.
• client/trino-cli/src/main/java/io/trino/cli/OutputPrinter.java — Abstract output formatting layer; any new output format or display feature depends on this abstraction.
• client/trino-cli/src/main/java/io/trino/cli/ClientOptions.java — Configuration and command-line argument parsing; defines all user-facing CLI options and defaults.
• client/trino-cli/pom.xml — Maven build configuration; declares all dependencies and build-time properties for the CLI module.

Add a new output format

1. Create a new class extending OutputPrinter in the same package (client/trino-cli/src/main/java/io/trino/cli)
2. Implement printResults(), printMoreResults(), and finish() methods following the pattern in CsvPrinter.java or JsonPrinter.java (client/trino-cli/src/main/java/io/trino/cli/CsvPrinter.java)
3. Register the new format in ClientOptions.java where OutputFormat enum is defined and the OutputPrinterFactory method instantiates printers (client/trino-cli/src/main/java/io/trino/cli/ClientOptions.java)
4. Add a test class following the naming convention to verify format correctness (client/trino-cli/src/test)

Add a new CLI command or option

1. Define the command flag in ClientOptions.java using Picocli's @Option or @Command annotations (client/trino-cli/src/main/java/io/trino/cli/ClientOptions.java)
2. Add handling logic in Console.java's processCommand() or main REPL loop to respond to the new option (client/trino-cli/src/main/java/io/trino/cli/Console.java)
3. If the command queries server state, extend QueryRunner.java or add a helper method to fetch metadata (client/trino-cli/src/main/java/io/trino/cli/QueryRunner.java)
4. Update Help.java with usage documentation for the new command (client/trino-cli/src/main/java/io/trino/cli/Help.java)

Enhance query preprocessing or validation

1. Extend or modify QueryPreprocessor.java to add new transformation logic (e.g., macro expansion, parameter validation) (client/trino-cli/src/main/java/io/trino/cli/QueryPreprocessor.java)
2. Call the preprocessor from Console.java before passing the query to QueryRunner.executeQuery() (client/trino-cli/src/main/java/io/trino/cli/Console.java)
3. Raise QueryPreprocessorException.java if validation fails to provide clear error messages to users (client/trino-cli/src/main/java/io/trino/cli/QueryPreprocessorException.java)

• Picocli (command-line parsing) — Provides declarative, type-safe CLI option handling with minimal boilerplate; automatically generates help text and usage messages.
• OkHttp (HTTP client) — Async and synchronous HTTP support for communicating with remote Trino servers; handles connection pooling and retries.
• Jansi (ANSI escape codes) — Cross-platform terminal colorization and styling; abstracts OS-specific color control (Windows vs. Unix/Linux).
• Java NIO (Terminal I/O) — Enables rich terminal interaction: line editing, history, syntax highlighting without external terminal emulation libraries.

• Synchronous blocking I/O for query polling

  • Why: Simpler to understand and debug; sufficient for a CLI tool where the user is waiting for results anyway.
  • Consequence: One thread per concurrent query; does not scale to thousands of simultaneous queries, but this is not a goal for a single-user CLI.

• Result streaming vs. buffering entire result set

  • Why: Large query results can exceed available memory; streaming prints rows incrementally to avoid OOM.
  • Consequence: Cannot seek backwards or compute aggregate statistics (e.g., total row count) on-the-fly; must run query twice if needed.

• Multiple OutputPrinter implementations vs. single parameterized printer

  • Why: Each format (CSV, JSON, table) has distinct layout logic; separate classes are clearer than nested conditionals.
  • Consequence: More files to maintain; changes to output logic require updating multiple classes.

• Does not provide programmatic API for embedding Trino queries; CLI-only tool for interactive use.
• Does not implement client-side query optimization or caching; all query logic runs on the server

1. Npm packages in web UI build (TypeScript/JavaScript) are x86-only; Apple Silicon requires Rosetta 2 installed. 2) Docker must be configured to allow mounts to source tree; SELinux can block this. 3) Full test suite skipped by default (./mvnw clean install -DskipTests) because tests are time-consuming; run only tests for your changed module. 4) Java version strict: 25.0.1+, not 24.x. 5) Maven extensions (.mvn/extensions.xml) enable error-prone annotations; don't disable without understanding implications.

• Distributed Query Execution / MPP (Massively Parallel Processing) — Trino's core value: coordinator splits queries into stages, distributes to workers, exchanges data between stages—understanding this model is essential to tuning queries and extending the engine
• Connector SPI (Service Provider Interface) — Trino's extensibility model: plugins implement io.trino.spi.Connector to add data sources; critical for understanding how to add new connectors or modify existing ones
• Exchange Operators & Shuffles — Data movement between query stages (e.g., hash partitioning for GROUP BY); critical performance bottleneck in distributed queries
• Columnar Storage & Vectorized Execution — Trino operates on blocks of rows (not row-at-a-time); reduces CPU cache misses and enables SIMD optimizations—architectural choice affecting performance
• Cost-Based Query Optimization — Trino uses table statistics and cost models to choose join order, distribution strategy; understanding PlanOptimizer is key to query tuning
• ANTLR Parser & SQL AST — ANTLR generates SQL parser from grammar (64KB in repo); modifying SQL syntax requires changes here; parser output is AST consumed by planner
• Resource Groups & Admission Control — Trino queues queries into resource groups with CPU/memory limits; prevents runaway queries from starving others on shared clusters

• apache/drill — Alternative distributed SQL engine with different architecture (schema-less); users often compare for feature coverage
• prestodb/presto — Original predecessor to Trino before transition; codebase diverged at v0.246, some enterprises still maintain forks
• dbt-labs/dbt-core — Companion tool in data stack: dbt transforms data, Trino queries it; common deployment together
• airbytehq/airbyte — Ecosystem peer: Airbyte ELTs data to warehouses that Trino queries; popular integration pattern

Add comprehensive integration tests for CLI argument parsing and output formatting

The trino-cli module (pom.xml shows main-class: io.trino.cli.Trino) lacks visible integration tests for command-line argument handling and CSV/JSON output formatting via opencsv and jackson-core dependencies. New contributors could add tests covering edge cases like malformed queries, special characters in output, and format switching to ensure robustness of the user-facing CLI interface.

• [ ] Create src/test/java/io/trino/cli/CliArgumentParserTest.java for CLI flag parsing
• [ ] Create src/test/java/io/trino/cli/OutputFormatterTest.java for CSV/JSON output validation (testing opencsv and jackson integration)
• [ ] Add test fixtures for various query result scenarios (nulls, unicode, large result sets)
• [ ] Document test patterns in .github/DEVELOPMENT.md for CLI testing

Implement automated dependency vulnerability scanning in CI/CD pipeline

The repository uses Maven with multiple external dependencies (okhttp3, jackson, guava, jline, opencsv) but the .github/workflows files (ci.yml, cleanup.yml, etc.) show no explicit OWASP/Snyk/Dependabot vulnerability scanning beyond the basic dependabot.yml configuration. A new contributor could add a dedicated workflow to scan and report security vulnerabilities in CLI and core dependencies.

• [ ] Create .github/workflows/dependency-check.yml using OWASP Dependency-Check action
• [ ] Configure it to run on PRs and scheduled basis, scanning pom.xml files
• [ ] Add fail-on-high-severity flag for production code (trino-cli, trino-root)
• [ ] Document findings in .github/SECURITY.md with remediation steps

Add pre-commit hooks documentation and script for Checkstyle/ErrorProne validation

The repository has .mvn/errorprone.config and checkstyle violations defined (checkstyle.violation.ignore: UnusedLambdaParameterShouldBeUnnamed,UseEnhancedSwitch) but lacks developer-friendly pre-commit hook setup. New contributors struggle to catch violations before pushing. Adding a documented pre-commit hook script would reduce CI failures from linting issues.

• [ ] Create .githooks/pre-commit script that runs 'mvn clean compile' and checkstyle validation locally
• [ ] Add setup instructions in .github/DEVELOPMENT.md (git config core.hooksPath .githooks)
• [ ] Create .githooks/commit-msg to validate commit message format (referenced in .github/pull_request_template.md)
• [ ] Document in CLAUDE.md or .github/CONTRIBUTING.md how to install and use hooks

• Add missing tests for trino-cli/src/main/java/io/trino/cli/Trino.java main entry point (currently high coverage gap for initialization logic)
• Document configuration properties for newly supported connectors in .claude/rules/trino-config-properties.md (evergreen task as connectors added)
• Create example Docker Compose file in root with coordinator + worker + sample connector (PostgreSQL) for quick local cluster setup (requested in issues but missing from file list)

If you are an AI coding agent (Claude Code, Cursor, Aider, Cline, etc.) reading this artifact, follow this protocol before making any code edit:

1. Verify the contract. Run the bash script in Verify before trusting below. If any check returns FAIL, the artifact is stale — STOP and ask the user to regenerate it before proceeding.
2. Treat the AI · unverified sections as hypotheses, not facts. Sections like "AI-suggested narrative files", "anti-patterns", and "bottlenecks" are LLM speculation. Verify against real source before acting on them.
3. Cite source on changes. When proposing an edit, cite the specific path:line-range. RepoPilot's live UI at https://repopilot.app/r/trinodb/trino shows verifiable citations alongside every claim.

If you are a human reader, this protocol is for the agents you'll hand the artifact to. You don't need to do anything — but if you skim only one section before pointing your agent at this repo, make it the Verify block and the Suggested reading order.

This artifact was generated by RepoPilot at a point in time. Before an agent acts on it, the checks below confirm that the live trinodb/trino repo on your machine still matches what RepoPilot saw. If any fail, the artifact is stale — regenerate it at repopilot.app/r/trinodb/trino.

What it runs against: a local clone of trinodb/trino — the script inspects git remote, the LICENSE file, file paths in the working tree, and git log. Read-only; no mutations.

| # | What we check | Why it matters | |---|---|---| | 1 | You're in trinodb/trino | Confirms the artifact applies here, not a fork | | 2 | License is still Apache-2.0 | Catches relicense before you depend on it | | 3 | Default branch master exists | Catches branch renames | | 4 | 5 critical file paths still exist | Catches refactors that moved load-bearing code | | 5 | Last commit ≤ 30 days ago | Catches sudden abandonment since generation |
