Apache XTable (Incubating) reposted this
✨ Easily Switch Between Iceberg, Hudi and Delta in Your Data Platforms using Apache XTable Modern data platforms bet on open table formats to gain data warehouse-like behaviors, such as ACID transactions on their Parquet files in cheap cloud object stores. There are three leading table formats: Apache Iceberg, Apache Hudi and Delta Lake. The general concept of these table formats is very similar, as they all provide a metadata layer on top of the data. Some use cases, as well as some query engines and vendors, favor one table format over the others. This becomes a challenge in large organizations when different teams build their solutions on different table formats. This is where Apache XTable (Incubating) comes into play: Apache XTable solves this by providing a converter from any one of the three table formats to any other one (without touching the actual data). As there are not many practical demos showing how this could work, I have uploaded a YouTube video with an end-to-end guide where we start with generating data in Hudi using AWS Glue and transform it to Iceberg and Delta with XTable, and then read it with Snowflake (Iceberg) and Databricks (Delta). Check out the video and let me know what you think! 🔗 https://lnkd.in/d7cfVpj5 #Delta #Iceberg #Hudi #XTable
