@Ubunta Why? Honestly curious. It's gotten major traction and steps are being taken to make sure the project itself stays vibrant post Tabular acquisition.

The Open Data Format is good for the Data AI ecosystem, with two main options currently available: Delta and Hudi. However, Iceberg's position is somewhat unclear, causing some confusion 🙃
For those concerned about lock-in or API compatibility when switching between these formats, Apache XTable (currently in incubation) offers a promising solution. Apache XTable acts as a cross-format converter for lakehouse table formats, enabling smooth interoperability across data processing systems and query engines.

- Choosing a table format involves significant considerations.
- XTable is not a new or separate format; it provides abstractions and tools to translate metadata across lakehouse table formats.
- XTable can read the existing metadata of different table formats, facilitating seamless transitions.

Next time you’re at a restaurant, can you do me a favor? Will you put one of these VOTE TRUMP FOR NO TAX ON TIPS stickers on your bill? Democrats are mortified by millions of Americans hearing about President Trump’s popular idea. So I need YOU to help spread the word!
