Iceberg Metadata Deep-Dive
The Apache Iceberg table format is an advancement beyond the original Apache Hive table format. One of the key differences is how and where metadata is stored. Hive stores its metadata in a metastore that often stores this information in a database. Iceberg takes the approach of storing metadata alongside the actual data – on the data lake itself. This approach supports ACID-compliant transactions and creates a new version of the table each time data or structural changes occur. It allows for time-travel querying and rollbacks.
In our webinar, you will see how and where metadata is stored from the original table creation through multiple changes to the table’s contents. The presenter will utilize Starburst Galaxy for the demonstrations and you will gain access to instructions to perform the same operations yourself.
Modernizing data analytics at Tatra Banka with Starburst

Starburst 101 Workshop
Are you intrigued by the concept of a data lakehouse but are looking for some hands on experience? Are you looking to turn your raw data in your data lake into secured, curated datasets – also known as data products – ready to deliver insights downstream?
On May 7, join us for our hands-on Starburst 101 workshop, where Starburst’s instructors will guide you through the fundamentals of how Starburst works and how it can help you and your team achieve your goals. This 90-minute session will first cover an introduction to Starburst and Trino, then transition to a live lab where you will build a federated data pipeline in your data lakehouse that produces secure data products. In this hands-on & instructor-led lab, you’ll use Starburst Galaxy, the easiest and fastest way to run Trino, in combination with Apache Iceberg, to build a data lakehouse architecture similar to architectures utilized by companies like Netflix, Pinterest, Prezi and more.
