Request a feature
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.

| PyPi | pip install deltalake | Docs | |
| Crates.io | cargo add deltalake | Docs |
Quick Start
The deltalake library aims to adopt patterns from other libraries in data processing,
so getting started should look familiar.
Read the full README
from deltalake import DeltaTable, write_deltalake
import pandas as pd
# write some data into a delta table
df = pd.DataFrame({"id": [1, 2], "value": ["foo", "boo"]})
write_deltalake("./data/delta", df)
# Load data from the delta table
dt = DeltaTable("./data/delta")
df2 = dt.to_pandas()
assert df.equals(df2)
The same table can also be loaded using the core Rust crate:
use deltalake::{open_table, DeltaTableError};
use url::Url;
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), DeltaTableError> {
// open the table written in python
let delta_path = Url::from_directory_path("/abs/data/delta").unwrap();
let table = open_table(delta_path).await?;
// show all active files in the table
let files: Vec<_> = table.get_file_uris()?.collect();
println!("{files:?}");
Ok(())
}

Compare with similar projects
Order: strongest tier first, then most downloads, then name, with unmeasured values last. A library counts downloads over 30 days. An app counts binary downloads per release. An app with none counts its crate downloads over 30 days. ML Rust runs this catalogue, so its closest project always gets a row.

Why FeaturedIt passes every Featured gate.
What it meets
- It has 14 active dependents and 13 new dependents in 365 days. Featured needs 11 active dependents or 9 new dependents in 365 days.
- Active dependents are at 100% of their peak. Featured needs at least 50%.
- Docs are present. The release commit or a manifest ties the crate to the repository.
- No vulnerability advisory stays unpatched past the grace window. At least one version is neither a prerelease nor 0.0.x.
- The last activity is on 8 Nov 2026, 1 day ago. The rules expect an update within 2800 days. Dormancy rule
Exact rules: Featured library. The check on applied thresholds version 9.
