Teradata is adding support for two open table formats, Apache Iceberg and Linux Foundation’s Delta Lake, to its multi-cloud analytics platform VantageCloud Lake and its AI and machine learning engine Unlimited AI.
Typically, open table formats are architected to generate performance for data lakes using cloud-based object storage. The performance is achieved by creating a layer of abstraction atop a data lake via the use of columnar storage and metadata management that allows enterprises to manage and update data more efficiently.
