We are excited to announce the general availability of Apache Iceberg in Cloudera Data Platform (CDP). Iceberg is a 100% open table format, developed through the Apache Software Foundation, and helps users avoid vendor lock-in. Today’s general availability announcement covers Iceberg running within key data services in the Cloudera Data Platform (CDP)—including Cloudera Data Warehousing (CDW), Cloudera Data Engineering (CDE), and Cloudera Machine Learning (CML). These tools empower analysts and data scientists to easily collaborate on the same data, with their choice of tools and analytic engines. There’s zero effort required by companies to get the benefits of Iceberg as part of CDP. No more lock-in, unnecessary data transformations, or data movement across tools and clouds just to extract insights out of the data.
