Instagram is a popular photo/video sharing application that enables users to share images and text captions with other people on social media. The app allows users to apply a variety of custom filter effects to enhance their images. Instagram is a free service and offers the ability to follow others, make user profiles private or public, post to other linked social accounts, and tag people or a location.
For huge analytical tables, Apache Iceberg is a high-performance format. Using Apache Iceberg, engines such as Spark, Trino, Flink, Presto, Hive and Impala can safely work with the same tables, at the same time, providing the reliability and simplicity of SQL tables to big data. With Apache Iceberg, you can merge new data, update existing rows, and delete specific rows. Data files can be eagerly rewritten or deleted deltas can be used to make updates faster.
