  name: Presto Client REST API
  description: The Presto Client REST API is the HTTP protocol used by Presto clients to submit SQL queries to a Presto coordinator
    and stream back results. It centers on POST /v1/statement to submit a query, GET on the returned nextUri to fetch subsequent
    result batches, and DELETE on nextUri to cancel a running query. Session context such as user, source, catalog, schema,
    time zone, and language is conveyed through X-Presto-* headers, and supports authentication mechanisms including Kerberos,
    LDAP, password files, OAuth 2.0, and custom authenticators.

  name: Presto Coordinator REST API
  description: The Presto Coordinator REST API exposes resources for inspecting and managing a running Presto cluster, including
    Node, Query, Stage, Statement, and Task resources. These endpoints are served by the coordinator process and are used
    by clients, monitoring tools, and the Presto worker protocol to coordinate distributed query execution and observe cluster
    health.
