When implementing a data lakehouse, the table format is a critical piece because it acts as an abstraction layer, making it easy to access all the structured, unstructured data in the lakehouse by any engine or tool, concurrently. Some of the popular table formats are Apache Iceberg, Delta Lake, Hudi, and Hive ACID.
