Building Data Lake Solutions with Iceberg and Object Storage: Architecture, Write/Read Processes, and Storage Optimization
This article presents a comprehensive overview of using Apache Iceberg with object storage to construct scalable data lake solutions, covering lake architecture, Iceberg table organization, Flink‑based write and read workflows, catalog abstractions, object storage versus HDFS comparisons, append‑upload and atomic‑commit challenges, a demonstration setup, and ideas for storage optimization.
