Autonomous table optimization when query workloads stop being predictable: observing file layout and query patterns, scoring compaction work, adaptive sort order, and cost discipline.
Partition evolution in Apache Iceberg is a powerful feature, but if not managed carefully, it can introduce fragmentation and impact compaction performance. Learn how to handle it effectively.
Discover how to use Apache Iceberg's metadata tables to proactively detect small files, bloated manifests, and table fragmentation - so you can trigger compaction only when it's needed.
Learn how to design an effective schedule for compaction and snapshot expiration in Apache Iceberg to balance cost, performance, and data freshness.
