Accelerate your migration to Amazon OpenSearch Service with Reindexing-from-Snapshot

AWS Big Data

In this post, we will introduce a new mechanism called Reindexing-from-Snapshot (RFS), and explain how it can address your concerns and simplify migrating to OpenSearch. Documents are parsed from the snapshot and then reindexed to the target cluster, so that performance impact to the source clusters is minimized during migration.

Apache Iceberg optimization: Solving the small files problem in Amazon EMR

AWS Big Data

Iceberg tables store metadata in manifest files. As the number of data files increase, the amount of metadata stored in these manifest files also increases, leading to longer query planning time. The query runtime also increases because it’s proportional to the number of data or metadata file read operations.

AWS Glue Data Catalog supports automatic optimization of Apache Iceberg tables through your Amazon VPC

AWS Big Data

The AWS Glue Data Catalog supports automatic table optimization of Apache Iceberg tables, including compaction , snapshots, and orphan data management. The data compaction optimizer constantly monitors table partitions and kicks off the compaction process when the threshold is exceeded for the number of files and file sizes.
