Delta Lake: High-Performance ACID Table Storage over Cloud Object Stores

Summary: Delta Lake provides ACID on cloud object stores via a compacted Parquet log, enabling time travel and fast metadata. Upserts, data-layout, caching, audit logs, and cross-engine access (Spark/Hive/Presto/Redshift) enable ecosystem-wide analytics. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
