We have recently discovered that `prestodb` is different from `prestoql`. An introduction about their differences in: https://github.com/prestosql/presto/issues/380
The `prestodb` project is backed up by Facebook and it was recently donated to the Linux foundation, meanwhile `prestosql` belongs to another foundation created at the time by the original Presto creators.
Given my experience with other Facebook projects and https://github.com/prestodb/presto/issues/15207, it seems to me that `prestosql` is more focused on community driver development, but it could be my own impression. I'd be inclined to test the latest `prestosql` and migrate if it suits our needs.
PrestoSQL evolved into Trino, some infos:

They have definitely a big community, and the project seems very active.
I am currently trying to upgrade to PrestoDB 0.246 in Hadoop test to see what is the community experience with upstream.
