About:
Nessie is a transactional catalog for data lakes that brings Git-like semantics to data management. It enables version control for tables, allowing branching, merging, and tagging of dataset states. This facilitates safe experimentation, time-travel queries, and collaborative workflows on data stored in formats like Apache Iceberg or Delta Lake.
Key Features:
  • Git-like branching and merging for data tables
  • Time-travel queries to access historical data states
  • Multi-format support including Apache Iceberg and Delta Lake
  • ACID transactions for consistent data operations
  • REST API for easy integration and management
Use Cases:
  • Implementing CI/CD pipelines for data engineering (DataOps)
  • Creating isolated development branches for data experimentation
  • Rolling back tables to previous states after erroneous updates
  • Collaborative data curation across multiple teams
Alternatives:
  • Apache Hive Metastore – HMS provides basic cataloging but lacks native version control and branching capabilities.
  • AWS Glue Data Catalog – A managed catalog service without built-in Git-like versioning features.
