Releases: delta-io/delta-sharing
Delta Sharing 0.3.0
We are excited to announce the release of Delta Sharing 0.3.0, which introduces the following improvements and fixes issues:
Improvements:
- Support Azure Blob Storage and Azure Data Lake Gen2 in Delta Sharing Server (#56, #59)
- Apache Spark Connector now can send the
limitHint
parameter when a user query is usinglimit
(#55) load_as_pandas
in Python Connector now accepts alimit
parameter to allow users fetching only a few rows to explore (#76)- Apache Spark Connector will re-fetch pre-signed urls before they expire to support long running queries (#69)
- Add a new API to list all tables in a share to save network round trips (#63, #66, #67, #88)
- Add a User-Agent header to request sent from Apache Spark Connector and Python (#75)
- Add an optional
expirationTime
field to Delta Sharing Profile File Format to provide the token expiration time (#77)
Bug fixes:
- Fix a corner case that
list_all_tables
may not return correct results in the Python Connector (#84)

fsspec
requirement in the Python connector (#23) - Fixed an issue when files in a table have no stats in the Python connector (#30)

Delta Sharing 0.1.0
We are excited to announce the release of Delta Sharing 0.1.0.
Delta Sharing is an open protocol for secure real-time exchange of large datasets, which enables organizations to share data in real time regardless of which computing platforms they use. It is a simple REST protocol that securely shares access to part of a cloud dataset and leverages modern cloud storage systems, such as S3, ADLS, or GCS, to reliably transfer data.
With Delta Sharing, a user accessing shared data can directly connect to it through pandas, Tableau, Apache Spark, Rust, Python, or dozens of other systems that support the open protocol, without having to deploy a specific compute platform first. This makes life simpler for both data providers and consumers. Data providers can share a dataset once to reach a broad range of consumers on any platform, and data consumers can get started using the data in minutes on their existing computing tools.
This repo includes the following components:
- Delta Sharing protocol specification.
- Python Connector: A Python library that implements the Delta Sharing Protocol to read shared tables as pandas DataFrame or Apache Spark DataFrames.
- Apache Spark Connector: An Apache Spark connector that implements the Delta Sharing Protocol to read shared tables from a Delta Sharing Server. The tables can then be accessed in SQL, Python, Java, Scala, or R.
- Delta Sharing Server: A reference implementation server for the Delta Sharing Protocol for development purposes. Users can deploy this server to share existing tables in Delta Lake and Apache Parquet format on modern cloud storage systems.
