Resolved! Can multiple streams write to a Delta table at the same time?

Wondering if there any dangers to doing this, and if it's a best practice. I'm concerned there could be conflicts but I'm not sure how Delta would handle it.

What’s the best instance type to run OPTIMIZE (bin-packing and Z-Ordering) on?

I've been doing some research on optimizing data storage while implementing delta, however, I'm not sure which instance type would be best for this.

OPTIMIZE as you alluded has two operations , Bin-packing and multi-dimensional clustering ( zorder)Bin-packing optimization is idempotent, meaning that if it is run twice on the same dataset, the second run has no effectZ-Ordering is not idempotent b...

The biggest advantage is the ease with which you can star ingesting data from your Cloud Storage directly into a Delta Table. You can choose Directory Listing mode or File Notification mode, depending on what fits your use case best.

We used to require this, but starting June 9, 2021 we no longer do, and have improved our E2 security posture.See https://docs.databricks.com/administration-guide/account-api/iam-role.html for the current permissions required.

Resolved! Are there any ways to automatically cleanup temporary files created in s3 by the Amazon Redshift connector

You could use storage lifecycle policy for the s3 bucket used for storing intermediate results and configure expiration actions. This way temporary/intermediate results would be automatically cleaned up

Resolved! What is the difference between a trigger once stream and a normal one time write?

It seems to me like both of these would accomplish the same thing in the end. Do they use different mechanisms to accomplish it though? Are there any hidden costs to streaming to consider?

The biggest reason to use the streaming API over the non-stream API would be to enable the checkpoint log to maintain a processing log. It is most common for people to use the trigger once when they want to only process the changes between executions...

It's actually pretty simple: use hyperopt, but use "Trials" not "SparkTrials". You get parallelism from Spark, not from the tuning process.
