Initial loads can be a total nightmare. Imagine that every day you ingest 1 TB of data, but for the initial load, you need to ingest the last 5 years in a single pass. Roughly, that’s 1 TB × 365 days × 5 years = 1825 TB of data. The new row_filter setting in Lakeflow Connect helps to handle it. #databricks
