Iceberg Lakehouse Architecture: Adapting for High-Scale Streaming Data

Apache Iceberg and lakehouse architectures are rapidly gaining popularity. While implementing Iceberg for some use cases is straightforward, adapting it for large-scale streaming data requires advanced configuration and expertise.

Read this technical paper to understand the adaptations needed to optimize Iceberg for high-scale streaming data, addressing key challenges and performance improvements.

Some of the topics covered include:

  • Merge-On-Read Paradigm: How Iceberg’s native support for Merge-On-Read (MoR) tackles the small files problem and enhances data update performance.
  • Efficient Data Deletes: Techniques for applying equality deletes in streaming data scenarios to reduce file scan overhead and improve query efficiency.
  • Query Engine Optimizations: Approaches for handling frequent updates and minimizing I/O operations in streaming environments.
  • Streaming Updates API: Insights into the new API designed to commit multiple data updates efficiently, reducing overhead and improving overall system performance.
  • And more...
