Delta Lake Masterclass | Azure Databricks | PySpark | From Zero To Hero

Welcome to this ~6 hour Masterclass on Delta Lake. We'll be covering deep-dive concepts with extensive hands-on labs on Azure Databricks using PySpark. This video will set a very strong base / foundation for Lakehouse concepts or if you're preparing for Data Engineering roles In this video, you will master: The Fundamentals: Problems with Data Lake and how Delta Lake solves those problems? Core Internals: A deep dive into the _delta_log to understand how the magic happens, Optimistic Concurrency Control, Pessimistic Concurrency Control Key Features: Time Travel, Schema Evolution, and Schema Enforcement / Validation, Shallow Cloning, Deep Cloning, Deletion Vectors, Managed & External Tables Performance Tuning: Solving the "Small File Problem" Advanced Optimization: OPTIMIZE, VACUUM, ZORDER, Liquid Clustering Codes (Delta Lake Masterclass): https://github.com/afaqueahmad7117/da...
