Lakehouse Architecture with Delta Lake and Databricks
summary
Lakehouse built on Delta Lake and Databricks uses Delta files plus a Delta log that provides Delta log checkpoints after 10 commits enabling metadata scaling, ACID transactions with optimistic concurrency, and time travel as a recovery tool rather than a historical query engine. Features shown include schema validation, identity columns, auto‑compaction of small Parquet files, Z‑order data skipping, Unity Catalog for column/row governance, and physical cleanup via vacuum retention (e.g., 30 days); migration works but requires ongoing refactoring as new versions add features.
