Please add the Trino/Presto connector for semantic models, data flows, and Pipeline/CopyJob via the on-premises/vnet gateway. Only the open-source connector is available, but it only works from Power BI Desktop models and does not support folding.

Status changed:NewtoNeeds Votes - We talked about this in Trino Community Broadcast 78 and we know that there is considerable in the Trino community, including some very large companies and PowerBI users. https://trino.io/episodes/78
Looking forward to get the official Trino support from Microsoft !
Especially for Direct Query and Dataflows support.

It’s still unclear. Trino guys seems to expect Microsoft to build the connector because Trino already exposes the required APIs, while Microsoft seems to expect Trino to provide the connectivity layer (at least a standard ODBC driver, as other platforms like Dremio or Athena do).
This has been an open issue for years with any visible progress, so I’m not sure how much collaboration is actually happening. Hopefully they’ll eventually meet in the middle. Or maybe ADBC will change the game

Alternatively, Microsoft could add JDBC support to Fabric/Power BI, since JDBC drivers for Trino already exist. See idea JDBC connection | Microsoft Fabric Community
Best if that could be aligned with ADF implementation, so we could use Trino natively across Microsoft tools ecosystem.
Trino specific or generic ODBC driver shall be enough.Native support for semantic models, dataflows, pipelines, and gateway-based refresh scenarios would significantly reduce implementation complexity and improve adoption of Microsoft Fabric in Trino-based environments 🚀
