Apache Iceberg

Open table format for large analytic datasets

About Apache Iceberg

An open table format for huge analytic tables, bringing reliability and simplicity of SQL tables to big data, with schema evolution, hidden partitioning and time travel across engines. Because the code is openly available, it can be audited, extended and run on private infrastructure, which makes it attractive to teams with privacy or compliance needs. It is commonly adopted through containers or packages, evaluated against commercial alternatives and kept because it solves a focused problem reliably at scale.
