Delta Lake is an open-source storage framework that is used to build data lakes on top of object storage in a Lakehouse architecture. Delta Lake supports ACID transactions, scalable metadata handling and unified streaming and batch data processing. By Matt Sarrel.
Delta Lake was designed to combine the transactional reliability of databases with the horizontal scalability of data lakes. Delta Lake was built to support OLAP-style workloads with an ACID table storage layer over cloud native object stores such as MinIO.
The main focus of this article is on:
- Delta Lake files
- ACID Transactions with Delta Lake
- Delta Lake and MinIO tutorial
- Create a test Delta Lake table on MinIO
- MinIO and Delta Lake for high-performance ACID transactions on data lakes
The combination of MinIO and Delta Lake enables enterprises to have a multi-cloud data lake that serves as a consolidated single source of truth. The ability to query and update Delta Lake tables provides enterprises with rich insights into their businesses and customers. Various groups access Delta Lake tables for their own analytics or machine learning initiatives, knowing that their work is secure and the data timely. Good read!
