Apache Iceberg in Cloudera

Apache Iceberg is a high-performance open table format for organizing petabyte-scale analytic datasets on a file system or object store. Combined with Cloudera, users can build an open data lakehouse architecture for multi-function analytics and to deploy large scale end-to-end pipelines.

Open data lakehouse on Cloudera simplifies advanced analytics on all data with a unified platform for structured and unstructured data and integrated data services to enable any analytics use case from ML, BI to stream analytics and real-time analytics. Apache Iceberg is the secret sauce of the open lakehouse.
