# Installing and Configuring the VAST Connector for Trino

## Installing the VAST Trino Connector for the VAST Database

VAST provides a Trino server and VAST Connector for Trino in a docker image.

Download the image for your version of VAST Cluster from [https://hub.docker.com/r/vastdataorg/trino-vast](https://hub.docker.com/r/vastdataorg/trino-vast). Follow the instructions there to configure the image on your client.

## Compatibility of Trino versions with VAST Cluster

| Trino Version | Trino Connector Version | Compatible VAST Cluster Versions |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 375 | 375 | 4.7 and later |
| 420 | 420 | 5.0 and later |
| 429 | 429 | 5.1 and later |
| 443 | 443 | 5.2 and later |
| 462 | 462 | 5.3 and later |
| 475 | 475 | 5.4 |

## Configuring Trino

### vast.properties

The Trino image includes a VAST configuration file, `vast.properties`, which looks like this:

```plaintext
connector.name=vast
endpoint={VAST_ENDPOINT}
region=us-east-1
access_key_id={VAST_ACCESS_KEY_ID}
secret_access_key={VAST_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY}

# Preliminary tuning parameters
num_of_splits=64
num_of_subsplits=10
vast.http-client.request-timeout=60m
vast.http-client.idle-timeout=60m

data_endpoints={VAST_DATA_ENDPOINTS}

vast.http-client.request-timeout=100h
vast.http-client.idle-timeout=290s
vast.http-client.max-connections=100
vast.http-client.max-connections-per-server=50
```

#### Over-the-wire Compression of Query Results

You can configure the connector to compress query results as they are sent to the client, using `zstandard` compression.

To do this, add this line to the `vast.properties` file:

```plaintext
vast.compression=zstd
```

### jvm.config

Add these lines to the `jvm.config` file:

```plaintext
--add-opens=java.base/java.nio=ALL-UNNAMED
--add-opens=java.base/java.lang=ALL-UNNAMED
--add-exports=java.base/sun.nio.ch=ALL-UNNAMED
```
