Optimizing your data lakehouse: A deep dive into the Cloudera Lakehouse Optimizer

Navita Sood, Director Product Marketing, Cloudera

Apache Iceberg has become the de facto standard for large-scale analytics. Iceberg has many features that drastically reduce the work required to deliver a high-performance view of the data, but like any other table format many of these features create overhead and require manual job execution to optimize for performance and costs. Cloudera simplifies Iceberg table management with the Cloudera Lakehouse Optimizer, which intelligently automates maintenance to deliver fast, cost-efficient, and reliable analytics.

In this session, we’ll explore the key drivers behind the need for automated Iceberg table optimization, and the unique benefits it delivers—such as intelligent data layout management, query performance enhancement, and 40-80% reduced storage costs —resulting in 2-4x faster queries compared to self-managed tables. Through a live demo, see how the Cloudera Lakehouse Optimizer autonomously fine-tunes Iceberg tables, enabling you to unlock the full potential of your data lakehouse.

Key takeaways:

  • Cloudera provides the easiest way to store structured and unstructured data in Apache Iceberg tables for large-scale analytics. 

  • See how Cloudera’s Lakehouse Optimizer automatically manages and optimizes query efficiency and storage cost over time for your analytical workloads.
