Run Apache XTable in AWS Lambda for background conversion of open table formats

AWS Big Data

Central to a transactional data lake are open table formats (OTFs) such as Apache Hudi , Apache Iceberg , and Delta Lake , which act as a metadata layer over columnar formats. XTable isn’t a new table format but provides abstractions and tools to translate the metadata associated with existing formats.

Introducing Apache Iceberg in Cloudera Data Platform

Cloudera

In Iceberg, instead of listing O(n) partitions (directory listing at runtime) in a table for query planning, Iceberg performs an O(1) RPC to read the snapshot. It includes a catalog that supports atomic changes to snapshots – this is required to ensure that we know changes to an Iceberg table either succeeded or failed.
