Shant Hovsepian, Chief Technology Officer of Data Warehousing at Databricks explains why Delta Lake is the most adopted open lakehouse format.

Includes: - Delta Lake UniForm GA (support for and compatibility with Hudi, Apache Iceberg, Delta) - Delta Lake Liquid Clustering - Delta Lake production-ready catalog (Iceberg REST API) - The growth and strength of the Delta ecosystem - Delta Kernel - DuckDB integration with Delta - Delta 4.0

In this session, we will talk about how Delta Lake plans to integrate with Iceberg and Hudi. Customers are being forced to choose storage formats based on the tools that support them rather than choosing the most performant and functional format for their lakehouse architecture. With Universal Format (“UniForm”), Delta removes the need to make this compromise and makes Delta tables compatible with Iceberg and Hudi query engines. We will do a technical deep dive of the technology, demo it, and discuss the roadmap.
