Open Delta Tables: A Stronger Foundation for Fabric and Databricks

Delta Lake has become a widely used open table format for lakehouse architectures by combining low-cost Parquet storage with transaction logs that provide ACID guarantees, schema enforcement, versioning, deletes, and support for concurrent batch and streaming workloads. Its open interoperability allows a single Delta table stored in Amazon S3, Azure Blob Storage, ADLS, or Google Cloud Storage to be queried by platforms including Databricks, Microsoft Fabric, Apache Spark, Trino, and Presto, reducing the need for duplicate data copies or format conversions. CData Sync’s latest release writes replicated data directly into open Delta tables and provides controls for partitioning, schema evolution, deletion handling, compaction, and cloud storage targets. The approach supports Databricks and Fabric integrations, including Fabric’s OneLake and Open Mirroring options, while platforms such as Snowflake, BigQuery, and Athena can generally access the underlying Parquet files but do not natively use Delta transaction logs or their associated reliability features.
