Delta Connectors 0.2.0
We are excited to announce the availability of the Delta Connectors 0.2.0.
In this release, we have added the Delta Standalone Reader, which provides a Java API to access Delta Lake transaction logs and data without Apache Spark. It can be used to read Delta tables in JVM applications, or build Delta connectors for query engines.
The Hive Connector has now been rewritten using Delta Standalone Reader and doesn’t use the embedded Spark. This reduces the size of the JAR package (from about 90MB to less than 20MB) as well as the memory-consumption of the connector in most cases.
For details, see README.
