The Delta Lake project aims to unlock the power of the Deltalake for as many users and projects as possible by providing native low-level APIs aimed at developers and integrators, as well as a high-level operations API that lets you query, inspect, and operate your Delta Lake with ease.

Quick Start

The deltalake library aims to adopt patterns from other libraries in data processing, so getting started should look familiar.

from deltalake import DeltaTable, write_deltalake
import pandas as pd

# write some data into a delta table
df = pd.DataFrame({"id": [1, 2], "value": ["foo", "boo"]})
write_deltalake("./data/delta", df)

# Load data from the delta table
dt = DeltaTable("./data/delta")
df2 = dt.to_pandas()

assert df.equals(df2)

The same table can also be loaded using the core Rust crate:

use deltalake::{open_table, DeltaTableError};

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), DeltaTableError> {
    // open the table written in python
    let table = open_table("./data/delta").await?;

    // show all active files in the table
    let files: Vec<_> = table.get_file_uris()?.collect();
    println!("{:?}", files);

    Ok(())
}

You can also try Delta Lake docker at DockerHub | Docker Repo
