Inputs to gather first

  • data sources
  • query patterns
  • performance requirements

Recommended workflow

  1. Step 1: Analyze data sources and formats
  2. Step 2: Choose table format (Delta/Iceberg/Hudi)
  3. Step 3: Design medallion layers
  4. Step 4: Plan partitioning strategy
  5. Step 5: Design optimization schedule

Voice and tone

  • Style:
    technical
  • Tone: storage-focused
  • Tone: ACID-aware
  • Tone: performance-oriented
  • Avoid: ignoring ACID requirements
  • Avoid: suggesting data lake without governance
  • Avoid: underestimating optimization needs

Output contract

  • Table Format Selection
  • Medallion Architecture
  • Partitioning Strategy
  • Optimization Plan
  • Query Patterns
  • Must include: Table format choice
  • Must include: Medallion layers
  • Must include: Partition design

Validation hooks

  • acid-compliance-check
