About Delta Lake

Delta Lake is an open-source storage layer that brings ACID transactions to Apache Spark™ and big data workloads. Data lakes typically have multiple data pipelines reading and writing data concurrently, and data engineers have to go through a tedious process to ensure data integrity, due to the lack of transactions. Delta Lake brings ACID transactions to your data lakes. It provides serializability, the strongest level of isolation level. Learn more at Diving into Delta Lake: Unpacking the Transaction Log. In big data, even the metadata itself can be "big data". Delta Lake treats metadata just like data, leveraging Spark's distributed processing power to handle all its metadata. As a result, Delta Lake can handle petabyte-scale tables with billions of partitions and files at ease. Delta Lake provides snapshots of data enabling developers to access and revert to earlier versions of data for audits, rollbacks or to reproduce experiments.

Apache Iceberg
Apache Iceberg
Iceberg is a high-performance format for huge analytic tables. Iceberg brings the reliability and simplicity of SQL tables to big data, while making it possible for engines like Spark, Trino, Flink, Presto, Hive and Impala to safely work with the same tables, at the same time. Iceberg supports flexible SQL commands to merge new data, update existing rows, and perform targeted deletes. Iceberg can eagerly rewrite data files for read performance, or it can use delete deltas for faster updates. Iceberg handles the tedious and error-prone task of producing partition values for rows in a table and skips unnecessary partitions and files automatically. No extra filters are needed for fast queries, and the table layout can be updated as data or queries change.

Apache Hudi
Apache Hudi
Hudi is a rich platform to build streaming data lakes with incremental data pipelines on a self-managing database layer, while being optimized for lake engines and regular batch processing. Hudi maintains a timeline of all actions performed on the table at different instants of time that helps provide instantaneous views of the table, while also efficiently supporting retrieval of data in the order of arrival. A Hudi instant consists of the following components. Hudi provides efficient upserts, by mapping a given hoodie key consistently to a file id, via an indexing mechanism. This mapping between record key and file group/file id, never changes once the first version of a record has been written to a file. In short, the mapped file group contains all versions of a group of records.

Apache Kudu
Apache Kudu
A Kudu cluster stores tables that look just like tables you're used to from relational (SQL) databases. A table can be as simple as a binary key and value, or as complex as a few hundred different strongly-typed attributes. Just like SQL, every table has a primary key made up of one or more columns. This might be a single column like a unique user identifier, or a compound key such as a (host, metric, timestamp) tuple for a machine time-series database. Rows can be efficiently read, updated, or deleted by their primary key. Kudu's simple data model makes it a breeze to port legacy applications or build new ones, no need to worry about how to encode your data into binary blobs or make sense of a huge database full of hard-to-interpret JSON. Tables are self-describing, so you can use standard tools like SQL engines or Spark to analyze your data. Kudu's APIs are designed to be easy to use.
