Page 37 of 125- 01Apache Iceberg v4 Roadmap: Adaptive Metadata Trees, Single-File Commits, and the Delta ConvergenceA deep technical breakdown of Apache Iceberg v4's proposed architecture: adaptive metadata trees, one-file commits, relative paths, column families, and what the Delta 5.0 convergence actually means for your data platform.Apache IcebergJun 08, 2026
- 02Lakehouse Context Layers with Atlan and Iceberg v3Lakehouse context layers bridge the gap between raw Iceberg tables and AI agents that need business meaning. Atlan and Snowflake Horizon each take different approaches to the same problem.Apache IcebergJun 08, 2026
- 03Real-Time Agentic Analytics with ClickHouseClickHouse has become the leading real-time analytics engine for AI agent workloads, with event-loop architectures that let agents query and act at sub-second speeds.Data PlatformsJun 08, 2026
- 04Composable Analytics Beats Metric CatalogsMetric catalogs define what terms mean. Composable analytics defines how terms combine, transform, and relate. For AI agents, composability is what turns definitions into reasoning.Data ArchitectureJun 08, 2026
- 05Goal-Directed Analytics Agents on Apache IcebergHow goal-directed analytics agents decompose business questions into sub-tasks, execute action loops over Apache Iceberg tables, and use the lakehouse as both a data source and a state store for agent action logs.Apache IcebergJun 08, 2026
- 06Iceberg Remote Signing for Regulated DatasetsIceberg REST catalog remote signing provides per-file pre-signed URL access for regulated datasets. How it differs from credential vending, audit trail capabilities, and Snowflake implementation for PII/compliance workloads.Apache IcebergJun 08, 2026
