In this talk, we will discuss:
* Advancements in data management, such as (1) Apache Iceberg, an open source table format that enables transactions and time travel; and (2) Project Nessie, an open source metastore that supports git semantics
* Advancements in query acceleration, such as (1) Apache Arrow, a columnar memory format and execution kernel; (2) C3, a columnar cloud cache; and (3) Data Reflections, data structures that enable query acceleration
* Best practices for designing a shared semantic layer in the lakehouse
