Developers should read the development section of the website, which covers thing like development philosophy and contribution process.
We recommend you use IntelliJ as your IDE. The code style template for the project can be found in the codestyle repository along with our general programming and Java guidelines. In addition to those you should also adhere to the following:
Alphabetize sections in the documentation source files (both in the table of contents files and other regular documentation files). In general, alphabetize methods/variables/sections if such ordering already exists in the surrounding code.
When appropriate, use the stream API. However, note that the stream implementation does not perform well so avoid using it in inner loops or otherwise performance sensitive sections.
Categorize errors when throwing exceptions. For example, PrestoException takes
an error code as an argument, PrestoException(HIVE_TOO_MANY_OPEN_PARTITIONS)
.
This categorization lets you generate reports so you can monitor the frequency
of various failures.
Ensure that all files have the appropriate license header; you can generate the
license by running mvn license:format
.
Consider using String formatting (printf style formatting using the Java
Formatter
class): format("Session property %s is invalid: %s", name, value)
(note that format()
should always be statically imported). Sometimes, if you
only need to append something, consider using the +
operator. Please avoid
format()
or concatenation in performance critical sections of code.
Avoid using the ternary operator except for trivial expressions.
It is suggested to declare members in private inner classes as public if they are part of the class API.
Do not use mocking libraries. These libraries encourage testing specific call sequences, interactions, and other internal behavior, which we believe leads to fragile tests. They also make it possible to mock complex interfaces or classes, which hides the fact that these classes are not (easily) testable. We prefer to write mocks by hand, which forces code to be written in a certain testable style.
Prefer AssertJ for complex assertions.
For thing not easily expressible with AssertJ, use Airlift's Assertions
class
if there is one that covers your case.
Using var
is discouraged.
Prefer using immutable collections from Guava over unmodifiable collections from JDK. The main motivation behind this is deterministic iteration.
Maintain the same quality for production and test code.
When writing a Git commit message, follow these guidelines.
Please avoid abbreviations, slang or inside jokes as this makes harder for
non-native english speaker to understand the code. Very well known
abbreviations like max
or min
and ones already very commonly used across
the code base like ttl
are allowed and encouraged.
When using IntelliJ to develop Presto, we recommend starting with all of the default inspections, with some modifications.
Enable the following inspections:
Java | Internationalization | Implicit usage of platform's default charset
,Java | Control flow issues | Redundant 'else'
(includingReport when there are no more statements after the 'if' statement
option),Java | Class structure | Utility class is not 'final'
,Java | Class structure | Utility class with 'public' constructor
,Java | Class structure | Utility class without 'private' constructor
.
Disable the following inspections:
Java | Performance | Call to 'Arrays.asList()' with too few arguments
,Java | Abstraction issues | 'Optional' used as field or parameter type
.
Enable errorprone (Error Prone Installation#IDEA):
- Install
Error Prone Compiler
plugin from marketplace, - In
Java Compiler
tab, selectJavac with error-prone
as the compiler, - Update
Additional command line parameters
with-XepExcludedPaths:.*/target/generated-(|test-)sources/.* -XepDisableAllChecks -Xep:MissingOverride:ERROR ......
(for current recommended list of command line parameters, see the top levelpom.xml
, the definition of theerrorprone-compiler-presto
profile.
The Presto Web UI is composed of several React components and is written in JSX and ES6. This source code is compiled and packaged into browser-compatible Javascript, which is then checked in to the Presto source code (in the dist
folder). You must have Node.js and Yarn installed to execute these commands. To update this folder after making changes, simply run:
yarn --cwd presto-main/src/main/resources/webapp/src install
If no Javascript dependencies have changed (i.e., no changes to package.json
), it is faster to run:
yarn --cwd presto-main/src/main/resources/webapp/src run package
To simplify iteration, you can also run in watch
mode, which automatically re-compiles when changes to source files are detected:
yarn --cwd presto-main/src/main/resources/webapp/src run watch
To iterate quickly, simply re-build the project in IntelliJ after packaging is complete. Project resources will be hot-reloaded and changes are reflected on browser refresh.
More information about the documentation process can be found in the README file in presto-docs.
