    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.
