Lots of you first explored these options throughout our Public Preview—now, we’ve got integrated your suggestions and delivered extra capabilities in GA.
MV/ST Delta Sharing Primer
Sharing knowledge—whether or not in actual time or as aggregates—comes with challenges:
- Immediately, groups are compelled to construct redundant pipelines and depend on outdated, batch-processed sources, resulting in elevated prices, better complexity, and important knowledge latency.
- Sharing uncooked tables can expose delicate data unintended for the recipient.
- Sharing combination knowledge requires further processing, thereby slowing knowledge supply.
Finally, balancing freshness, efficiency, safety, and ease is tough, and older architectures not often get it proper.
Utilizing the open‑supply Delta Sharing protocol, MVs and STs might be shared throughout clouds, areas, and platforms to a variety of recipients.
Materialized Views (MVs) ship precomputed, aggregated question outcomes, permitting groups to share solely the required insights as a substitute of full uncooked datasets—enhancing safety and relevance. That is particularly useful when shoppers want filtered or summarized outcomes however not detailed supply knowledge, similar to sharing each day business‑stage efficiency summaries from monetary transactions with a hedge fund buyer.
