    From the README

    A native Rust library for Delta Lake, with bindings to Python

    Delta Lake is an open-source storage format that runs on top of existing data lakes. Delta Lake is compatible with processing engines like Apache Spark and provides benefits such as ACID transaction guarantees, schema enforcement, and scalable data handling.

    The Delta Lake project aims to unlock the power of the Deltalake for as many users and projects as possible by providing native low-level APIs aimed at developers and integrators, as well as a high-level operations API that lets you query, inspect, and operate your Delta Lake with ease.

    The deltalake library aims to adopt patterns from other libraries in data processing, so getting started should look familiar.

    The same table can also be loaded using the core Rust crate:

    You can also try Delta Lake docker at DockerHub | Docker Repo
