Month: 2025-10 Overview: A focused delivery and bug-fix cycle on the acrylidata/datahub repository, emphasizing metadata hygiene for Delta Lake ingestions, improving reliability and governance of the data platform. Key features delivered: - Delta Lake Ingestor: introduced orphaned metadata cleanup with a new configuration option for stateful ingestion and stale metadata removal to ensure orphaned metadata is cleaned up. Major bugs fixed: - Delta Lake Ingestor: fixed issue where metadata was not deleted when a table was removed; ensured orphaned metadata is removed as part of normal ingestion lifecycle (commit 9fb82a73adc180a061cc88a59147994d3bc0e3dd; #14763). Overall impact and accomplishments: - Improves data quality and consistency by eliminating orphaned Delta Lake metadata, reducing storage overhead, and mitigating downstream ingestion failures. - Enhances data governance and reliability through configurable metadata lifecycle management in stateful ingestion workflows. - Demonstrates end-to-end fix delivery with traceable commits and clear linkage to repository acrylidata/datahub. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Delta Lake and ingestion pipelines - Metadata lifecycle management and cleanup strategies - Config-driven feature enablement and stateful ingestion concepts - Git-based traceability and issue tracking (commit #14763)
