Resolved! Performance improvement after running VACUUM commands
How often should I run VACUUM commands? Will running the VACUUM command on a Delta table improve my read/write performance or is it just the storage benefits.

VACUUM removes uncommitted/stale files from the Storage. The primary benefit is to save the storage cost. Ideally running VACUUM should not show any performance improvement as Delta does not list the storage directories but rather access the files di...

Does running OPTIMIZE on a delta table destroy the transaction history of table?
If I run OPTIMIZE on a Delta Lake table, will it prevent me from time travelling to a version before OPTIMIZE was run?

No, you will still be able to time travel to versions previous to the OPTIMIZE command. OPTIMIZE is just another transaction like MERGE, UPDATE, etc. Check out these docs to learn more about retention periods and the VACUUM command.

In the vast majority of cases, yes, it is safe to run VACUUM while data is concurrently being appended or updated to the same table. This is because VACUUM deletes data files no longer referenced by a Delta table's transaction log and does not effect...

VACUUM has no effect on read/write performance to that table. Never running VACUUM on a table will not make read/write performance to a Delta Lake table any slower.If you run VACUUM very infrequently, your VACUUM runtimes themselves may be pretty hig...

spark.sessionState.catalog.listTables is a more lazy implementation.. it does not pull the column details when listing the tables. Hence it's faster. Whereas catalog.listTables will pull the column details as well. If the database has many Delta tabl...
