# Delta Lake Table Migration
jackye1995 marked this conversation as resolved.
Show resolved Hide resolved
Delta Lake is a table format that supports Parquet file format and provides time travel and versioning features. When migrating data from Delta Lake to Iceberg,
it is common to migrate all snapshots to maintain the history of the data.

Currently, Iceberg only supports the Snapshot Table action for migrating from Delta Lake to Iceberg tables. It is done via the `iceberg-delta-lake` module

Since Delta Lake tables maintain snapshots, all available snapshots will be committed to the new Iceberg table as transactions in order.
JonasJ-ap marked this conversation as resolved.
Show resolved Hide resolved
For Delta Lake tables, any additional data files added after the initial migration will be included in their corresponding snapshots and subsequently added to the new Iceberg table using the Add Snapshot action.
The Add Snapshot action, a variant of the Add File action, is still under development.

## Enabling Migration from Delta Lake to Iceberg
The `iceberg-delta-lake` module is not bundled with Spark and Flink engine runtimes. To enable migration from delta lake features, the minimum required dependencies are:
- [iceberg-delta-lake](https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/iceberg/iceberg-delta-lake/1.2.0/iceberg-delta-lake-1.2.0.jar)
- [delta-standalone-0.6.0](https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/io/delta/delta-standalone_2.13/0.6.0/delta-standalone_2.13-0.6.0.jar)
- [delta-storage-2.2.0](https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/io/delta/delta-storage/2.2.0/delta-storage-2.2.0.jar)

### Compatibilities
The module is built and tested with `Delta Standalone:0.6.0` and supports Delta Lake tables with the following protocol version:
* `minReaderVersion`: 1
* `minWriterVersion`: 2

Please refer to [Delta Lake Table Protocol Versioning](https://docs.delta.io/latest/versioning.html) for more details about Delta Lake protocol versions.

### API
The `iceberg-delta-lake` module provides an interface named `DeltaLakeToIcebergMigrationActionsProvider`, which contains actions that helps converting from Delta Lake to Iceberg.
The supported actions are:
* `snapshotDeltaLakeTable`: snapshot an existing Delta Lake table to an Iceberg table

### Default Implementation
The `iceberg-delta-lake` module also provides a default implementation of the interface which can be accessed by
```java
DeltaLakeToIcebergMigrationActionsProvider defaultActions = DeltaLakeToIcebergMigrationActionsProvider.defaultActions()
```

## Snapshot Delta Lake Table to Iceberg
The action `snapshotDeltaLakeTable` reads the Delta Lake table's most recent snapshot and converts it to a new Iceberg table with the same schema and partitioning in one iceberg transaction.
The original Delta Lake table remains unchanged.

The newly created table can be changed or written to without affecting the source table, but the snapshot uses the original table's data files.
Existing data files are added to the Iceberg table's metadata and can be read using a name-to-id mapping created from the original table schema.

When inserts or overwrites run on the snapshot, new files are placed in the snapshot table's location. The location is default to be the same as that
of the source Delta Lake Table. Users can also specify a different location for the snapshot table.

{{< hint info >}}
Because tables created by `snapshotDeltaLakeTable` are not the sole owners of their data files, they are prohibited from
actions like `expire_snapshots` which would physically delete data files. Iceberg deletes, which only effect metadata,
are still allowed. In addition, any operations which affect the original data files will disrupt the Snapshot's
integrity. DELETE statements executed against the original Delta Lake table will remove original data files and the
`snapshotDeltaLakeTable` table will no longer be able to access them.

The following table properties are added to the Iceberg table to be created by default:

| Property Name | Value | Description |
|-------------------------------|-------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `snapshot_source` | `delta` | Indicates that the table is snapshot from a delta lake table |
| `original_location` | location of the delta lake table | The absolute path to the location of the original delta lake table |
| `schema.name-mapping.default` | JSON name mapping derived from the schema | The name mapping string used to read Delta Lake table's data files |

# Hive Table Migration
Apache Hive supports ORC, Parquet, and Avro file formats that could be migrated to Iceberg.
When migrating data to an Iceberg table, which provides versioning and transactional updates, only the most recent data files need to be migrated.

Iceberg supports all three migration actions: Snapshot Table, Migrate Table, and Add Files for migrating from Hive tables to Iceberg tables. Since Hive tables do not maintain snapshots,
the migration process essentially involves creating a new Iceberg table with the existing schema and committing all data files across all partitions to the new Iceberg table.
After the initial migration, any new data files are added to the new Iceberg table using the Add Files action.

## Enabling Migration from Hive to Iceberg
The Hive table migration actions are supported by the Spark Integration module via Spark Procedures. The procedures are bundled in the following dependencies:
- [`iceberg-spark-runtime_3.3_2.12`](https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/iceberg/iceberg-spark-runtime-3.3_2.12/1.2.0/iceberg-spark-runtime-3.3_2.12-1.2.0.jar)

## Snapshot Hive Table to Iceberg
To snapshot a Hive table, users can run the following Spark SQL:
```sql
CALL catalog_name.system.snapshot('db.source', 'db.dest')
```
See [Spark Procedure: snapshot](../spark-procedures/#snapshot) for more details.

## Migrate Hive Table To Iceberg
To migrate a Hive table to Iceberg, users can run the following Spark SQL:
```sql
CALL catalog_name.system.migrate('db.sample')
```
See [Spark Procedure: migrate](../spark-procedures/#migrate) for more details.

Oops. Thank you for catching this. Sorry for the typo.

Have opened a new PR here: #7407, to address that.

To add data files from a Hive table to a given Iceberg table, users can run the following Spark SQL:
```sql
CALL spark_catalog.system.add_files(
table => 'db.tbl',
source_table => 'db.src_tbl'
)
```
See [Spark Procedure: add_files](../spark-procedures/#add_files) for more details.

# Table Migration
Apache Iceberg supports converting existing tables in other formats to Iceberg tables. This section introduces the general concept of table migration, its approaches, and existing implementations in Iceberg.

## Migration Approaches
There are two methods for executing table migration: full data migration and in-place metadata migration.

Full data migration involves copying all data files from the source table to the new Iceberg table. This method makes the new table fully isolated from the source table, but is slower and doubles the space.
In practice, users can use operations like [Create-Table-As-Select](../spark-ddl/#create-table--as-select), [INSERT](../spark-writes/#insert-into), and Change-Data-Capture pipelines to perform such migration.

In-place metadata migration preserves the existing data files while incorporating Iceberg metadata on top of them.
This method is not only faster but also eliminates the need for data duplication. However, the new table and the source table are not fully isolated. In other words, if any processes vacuum data files from the source table, the new table will also be affected.

In this doc, we will describe more about in-place metadata migration.

![In-Place Metadata Migration](../../../img/iceberg-in-place-metadata-migration.png)

Apache Iceberg supports the in-place metadata migration approach, which includes three important actions: **Snapshot Table**, **Migrate Table**, and **Add Files**.

## Snapshot Table
The Snapshot Table action creates a new iceberg table with a different name and with the same schema and partitioning as the source table, leaving the source table unchanged during and after the action.

- Create a new Iceberg table with the same metadata (schema, partition spec, etc.) as the source table and a different name.

![Snapshot Table Step 1](../../../img/iceberg-snapshotaction-step1.png)

- Commit all data files across all partitions to the new Iceberg table. The source table remains unchanged.

## Migrate Table
JonasJ-ap marked this conversation as resolved.
Show resolved Hide resolved
The Migrate Table action also creates a new Iceberg table with the same schema and partitioning as the source table. However, during the action execution, it locks and drops the source table from the catalog.
Consequently, Migrate Table requires all modifications working on the source table to be stopped before the action is performed.

Stop all writers interacting with the source table. Readers that also support Iceberg may continue reading.

- Create a new Iceberg table with the same identifier and metadata (schema, partition spec, etc.) as the source table. Rename the source table for a backup in case of failure and rollback.

![Migrate Table Step 2](../../../img/iceberg-migrateaction-step2.png)

- Commit all data files across all partitions to the new Iceberg table. Drop the source table.

![Migrate Table Step 3](../../../img/iceberg-migrateaction-step3.png)

## Add Files
After the initial step (either Snapshot Table or Migrate Table), it is common to find some data files that have not been migrated. These files often originate from concurrent writers who continue writing to the source table during or after the migration process.
In practice, these files can be new data files in Hive tables or new snapshots (versions) of Delta Lake tables. The Add Files action is essential for incorporating these files into the Iceberg table.
