I previously wrote about the importance of open table formats to the evolution of data lakes into data lakehouses. The concept of the data lake was initially proposed as a single environment where data could be combined from multiple sources to be stored and processed to enable analysis by multiple users for multiple purposes.

Data governance is a critical building block across all these approaches, and we see two emerging areas of focus. First, many LLM use cases rely on enterprise knowledge that needs to be drawn from unstructured data such as documents, transcripts, and images, in addition to structured data from data warehouses.

Initially, data warehouses were the go-to solution for structured data and analytical workloads but were limited by proprietary storage formats and their inability to handle unstructured data. XTable isn’t a new table format but provides abstractions and tools to translate the metadata associated with existing formats.
