Optimizing Delta/Parquet Data Lakes for Apache Spark
3 likes2,677 views
Matthew Powers gave a presentation on optimizing Delta and Parquet data lakes. He discussed the benefits of using Delta lakes such as built-in time travel, compacting, and vacuuming capabilities. Delta lakes provide these features for free on top of Parquet files and a transaction log. Powers demonstrated how to create, compact, vacuum, partition, filter, and update Delta lakes in Spark. He showed that partitioning data significantly improves query performance by enabling data skipping and filtering at the partition level.

- 11. Why does compaction speed up lakes? • Parquet: files need to be listed before they are read. Listing is expensive in object stores. • Delta: Data is read via the transaction log. • Easier for Spark to read partitioned lakes into memory partitions. 11
