Advancing Spark - Delta Sharing

We heard about this new idea of Delta Sharing back in 2021 and we've seen the open source protocol available via the delta.io site ever since. The promise we've had from the beginning is that Unity Catalog can act as a Delta Sharing Server, without all of the setup hassle - and with the GA of both Unity Catalog and Delta Sharing coming soon, it's about time we looked at just how easy it is!

In this video Simon walks through a Delta Sharing example - configuring the metastore for sharing, creating a new share, onboarding a recipient and querying data!

If you're getting started with Delta Sharing, you can see the full github of samples here https://delta.io/sharing/ - but we suggest starting with the Databricks Docs if you're using DBX - https://docs.databricks.com/data-shar...
