Assess
Short description:
Apache Iceberg is an open table format for large analytic datasets. It brings ACID transactions, schema and partition evolution, and time travel to files in object storage, and it is supported by many engines, including Spark, Trino, Flink, DuckDB and Snowflake.
Why it's being assessed:
Iceberg is the main open alternative to Delta Lake. I'm assessing it to see how well it works across engines alongside Databricks, and whether it lowers lock-in for lakehouse storage.
