Traditional data architecture patterns are severely limited. To use these patterns, you have to ETL data into each tool—a cost-prohibitive process for making warehouse features available to all of your data. The lack of flexibility with these patterns requires you to lock into a set of priority tools and formats, which creates data silos and data drift. This practical book shows you a better way.

Apache Iceberg provides the capabilities, performance, scalability, and savings that fulfill the promise of an open data lakehouse. By following the lessons in this book, you''ll be able to achieve interactive, batch, machine learning, and streaming analytics with this high-performance open source format. Authors Tomer Shiran, Jason Hughes, and Alex Merced from Dremio show you how to get started with Iceberg.

With this book, you''ll learn:

Discover why Apache Iceberg is a foundational technology for implementing an open data lakehouse.

This insightful new study explores an emerging and growing interest in Sociology and Organization Studies which concerns the meanings and experiences of ‘dirty’ work. Based on a unique study of male street cleaners, refuse collectors, graffiti removers and butchers, and drawing on Bourdieu as a theoretical frame, it presents an ‘embodied’ understanding of ‘dirty’ work. Gender, Work and Occupation explores new avenues of workplace studies, highlighting how material conditions both support and constrain processes of occupation-based ideological constructions. Using original field research, the authors put forward a different agenda in terms of how we think about dirty work, and how we can explore and understand the ‘lived experiences’ of dirty workers.
