a sql script that export #deltatable metadata from a #ducklkake db

never thought that #sql can do that !!!!

Explaining how Python engines read and write #DeltaTable is not for the faint of heart.
The theory is everything will depends on the delta kernet rust for read and write, but we are not there yet

I don't think it was publicized a lot, but #Snowflake can read #DeltaTable as an #Iceberg table too, basically in this example, I am writing to #onelake and reading existing data too, generated by #Spark

Reading #deltatable from #Unitycatalog using #daft, it is read only for now.

running in #MicrosoftFabric Notebook
it is already supported using Mirrored Unity catalog in #onelake but it is nice to have more options, specially thinking of write support.

We can take advantage of query optimizations when scanning a DeltaTable with Polars. For example, here we want to filter on a DeltaTable partitioned on the date column. Compare this to the awkward syntax we need when using Pandas below!

When we scan a DeltaTable Polars now uses its native Parquet reader.

This means we can use the Polars streaming engine to process tables that are larger-than-memory. This lets us work with huge datasets with Polars and deltalake, all by passing streaming=True (and a new streaming engine is coming)

Smart Data Pipeline Design: Check for Delta Table Changes with Minimal Overhead
Scenario I have a notebook that processes hot data every 5 minutes. Meanwhile, another pipeline processes historical data, and I want to create a summary table that uses the hot data incrementally …

Tested the new Polars streaming engine loading a partitioned deltatable on S3. Was 2x faster than with .collect() on a not-larger-than-memory table. The new engine isn't just about faster compute or larger datasets - data transfer is fast and very consistent. Looks v promising

Next step will read from #S3 and flatten the JSON structure and merges it with #schemaevolution to the property #deltatable.

As a first step I'm scraping properties with the defined city, radius, buy or rent, and propertyType. Checking in existing #deltatable if #fingerprint already exists, and only if not, the property will be cached and uploaded to #S3.

A lot of my recent focus has been on making pipelines more observable. No fancy tools, just keeping a list that tracks the status of each iteration then printed in an easy way to read at the end. Then make the summary into a dataframe and append to a deltatable for easy access

If you regularly appending files to a deltalake table then the transaction log gets slow to parse as it accumulates thousands of JSON files. Use add_checkpoint to compress them into a single parquet file.

For me this took a 30 second DeltaTable creation down to 0.5 seconds
