Databricks announced the launch of a new open source project called Delta Sharing, an open protocol for securely sharing data across organizations in real time, completely independent of the platform on which the data resides.
"The top challenge for data providers today is making their data easily and broadly consumable. Managing dozens of different data delivery solutions to reach all user platforms is untenable. An open, interoperable standard for real-time data sharing will dramatically improve the experience for both data providers and data users," said Matei Zaharia, Chief Technologist and Co-Founder of Databricks.
Underpinned by Delta Lake 1.0 and benefitting from a vendor neutral governance model supported by the Linux Foundation, Delta Sharing establishes a common standard for sharing all data types with an open protocol that can be used in SQL, visual analytics tools, and programming languages such as Python and R. Delta Sharing also allows organizations to seamlessly share existing large-scale datasets in the Apache Parquet and Delta Lake formats in real time without copying them, and can be easily implemented within existing software that supports Parquet.
"Establishing a new, open standard for data sharing aligns with Tableau's mission of democratizing data and empowering anyone to make faster, smarter decisions. We look forward to supporting the future of Delta Sharing and helping our customers tap into the flexibility of an open, collaborative data ecosystem."
"We support Delta Sharing and its vision of an open protocol that will simplify secure data sharing and collaboration across organizations. Delta Sharing will enhance the way we work with our partners, reduce operational costs and enable more users to access a comprehensive range of Nasdaq's data suite to discover insights and develop financial strategies," said Bill Dague, Head of Alternative Data, Nasdaq.
"Our investment in Azure Data Share reflects the vision we share with Databricks - that data sharing should be open. We see Delta Sharing as aligning well with that vision. We are pleased to be moving forward with Databricks in our shared goals of supporting an open data ecosystem," said Mike Flasko, Partner Director, Program Management at Microsoft.
