Our use case is to ingest data, write it to the Delta table folder as a Parquet file using a Parquet go library, and then add the Parquet file to the Delta table using delta-go.

Usage

Create a table in S3. This table is configured to use DynamoDB LogStore locking to enable multi-cluster S3 support.

	store, err := s3store.New(s3Client, baseURI)
	logStore, err := dynamodblogstore.New(dynamodblogstore.Options{Client: dynamoDBClient, TableName: deltaLogStoreTableName})
	table := delta.NewTableWithLogStore(store, nillock.New(), logStore)
	metadata := delta.NewTableMetaData("Test Table", "test description", new(delta.Format).Default(), schema, []string{}, make(map[string]string))
	err := table.Create(*metadata, new(delta.Protocol).Default(), delta.CommitInfo{}, []delta.Add{})

Append data to the table. The data is in a parquet file located at parquetRelativePath; the path is relative to the baseURI.

	add, _, err := delta.NewAdd(store, storage.NewPath(parquetRelativePath), make(map[string]string))
	transaction := table.CreateTransaction(delta.NewTransactionOptions())
	transaction.AddActions([]deltalib.Action{add})
	operation := delta.Write{Mode: delta.Append}
	appMetaData := make(map[string]any)
	appMetaData["isBlindAppend"] = true
	transaction.SetAppMetadata(appMetaData)
	transaction.SetOperation(operation)
	v, err := transaction.CommitLogStore()

There are also some simple examples available in the examples/ folder.

Storage configuration on S3

If delta-go and other client(s) are being used to write to the same Delta table on S3, then it is important to configure all clients to use multi-cluster LogStore to avoid write conflicts.
