Why You Shouldn’t Care About Iceberg | Tabular

Slides: https://www.datacouncil.ai/talks/why-...

ABOUT THE TALK:

Ryan Blue, co-creator of the Apache Iceberg project will try to convince you not to care about Iceberg: if you’re thinking about your table format, then it isn’t doing a good enough job.

This session will show how Iceberg solves real-world problems that used to take hours or days of time from data engineers and analysts:

Safe schema changes — no more zombie data columns
Layout evolution — update table partitioning without rewriting any queries
Hidden partitioning — safe and fast queries without being a DBA
Future work — current frustrations and how we’re making them disappear

ABOUT THE SPEAKER:

Ryan is the co-creator of Apache Iceberg and spent the last decade working on big data formats and infrastructure at Netflix, Cloudera, and now Tabular. He is an ASF member and a committer in the Apache Parquet, Avro, and Spark communities.
