Apache DataFusion: A Fast, Extensible, Modular Analytic Query Engine in Rust

In this talk, Mustafa Akur will take you behind the scenes of query execution with Apache DataFusion. You’ll explore how queries are parsed, optimized, and executed, and gain insight into the architectural principles that make DataFusion fast, extensible, and modular. The talk will delve into the goals of the Apache DataFusion project, the problems it aims to solve in the modern data ecosystem, and why Rust is a key part in the story.

Please plan to arrive between 6:30 and 7. Due to limitations of the
venue, we need to have someone stand outside and let people in, and
we'd like them to be able to attend, so the doors will be effectively
closed at 7:00, unless you're a PSU student.
