Using Apache Iceberg for multi-function analytics in the cloud

We know what you're thinking. Icebergs...in the cloud? How's that work? But it isn't a (mixed) metaphor. Iceberg is a high-performance format for huge analytic tables. Iceberg brings the reliability and simplicity of SQL tables to big data with a growing set of compute engine support to safely work with the same tables, at the same time, for advanced analytics use cases. Unlike proprietary table formats that some vendors make you use, Apache Iceberg is an open standard that can be used by any processing engine.

What the session will cover
During this meetup, we’ll assume you’ve never heard of Apache Iceberg and explain the basics: what problems the Apache Iceberg project is addressing, how iceberg works, what features iceberg tables offer and how you can put Iceberg to work in your own data projects that utilize multi-function analytics such as Hive, Spark, or Impala.

We’ll show you during a live demonstration how to create Iceberg tables for multi-function analytics and apply advanced techniques such as Time Travel and Partition Evolution, all in the cloud as available in Cloudera Data Platform.

Agenda
6:00 - 6:45 PM EST: Presentation - Bill Zhang, Director of Product Management at Cloudera
6:45 - 7:15 PM EST: Demonstration - Luiz Carrossoni Neto, Cloudera Principal Solutions Engineer
7:15 - 7:30 PM EST: Q&A and possibly a raffle for participants with Navita Sood
