Description
The Delta Sharing open protocol for secure sharing and distribution of Lakehouse data is designed to reduce friction in getting data to users. Delivering custom data solutions from this protocol further leverages the technical investment committed to your Delta Lake infrastructure. There are key design and computational concepts unique to Delta Sharing to know when undertaking development. And there are pitfalls and hazards to avoid when delivering modern cloud data to traditional data platforms and users. In this session, we introduce Delta Sharing Protocol development and examine our journey and the lessons learned while creating the Delta Sharing Excel Add-in. We will demonstrate scenarios of overfetching, underfetching, and interpretation of types. We will suggest methods to overcome these development challenges. The session will combine live demonstrations that exercise the Delta Sharing REST protocol with detailed analysis of the responses. The demonstrations will elaborate on optional capabilities of the protocol’s query mechanism, and how they are used and interpreted in real-life scenarios. As a reference baseline for data professionals, the Delta Sharing exercises will b…
