---|---|---|
Data Latency | Higher | Lower |
Update cost (I/O) | Higher (rewrite entire |
def~table parquet) | Lower (append to `delta log`) |
Write Amplification | Higher | Lower (depending on compaction strategy to the |
def~table parquet) | ||
Query/Read Amplification | Lower/Zero | Higher (merging base and deltas on the fly) |
