Databricks Delta

Databricks Delta was renamed - Databricks now calls it Delta Lake, as of April 2019.

Databricks Delta → Delta Lake

The proprietary Databricks table format that adds ACID transactions, schema enforcement, and time travel to data lakes.

• Unveiled at Spark Summit Europe 2017 as a single system fusing a data lake's scale, a warehouse's query speed and a streaming pipe's low latency, storing everything as plain Parquet on S3 while promising up to 100x faster queries. 🔗
