Hi all, here is some tiny feedback on the blog post • For the file listing API, we can mention that an example of a delta table having absolute file paths is SHALLOW CLONE • For checkpointing section, we can mention that a checkpoint file is a consolidated/fast way of getting a list of all add/remove/metadata protocol actions which allows fast reconstruction of table snapshot (instead of listing and parsing several JSON files). But, a checkpoint file cannot be used to satisfy operations like

Thank you Matthew
Hi Matthew, congrats for publishing the post. Just a tiny idea, the post has no reference to the new release being Rust and Python bindings for Rust. I guess that could be a source of confusion. Maybe worth it to highlight that somewhere.

That’s a good point. Would be good to title”New features in the Python deltalake 0.7.0 release”

@Yousry Mohamed - great suggestion. Not mentioning Rust was intentional, but it’s a valid point and worth discussing. Lots of Python libraries are based on Fortran or C++, but those technologies are never mentioned in blog posts because that’d scare away Python developers. I am open to ideas though.

It’s fine that we don’t mention Rust, I think. But we should mention Python in the title
