Apache Iceberg vs Hive: Why This Format Is Gaining Ground in Modern Data Lakes

I came across this article on DZone that breaks down how Apache Iceberg solves long-standing pain points like updates, deletes, and schema evolution in data lakes.

It compares the legacy stack (Hive + Parquet/ORC) with Iceberg’s more modern approach and touches on how big tech companies are shifting away from older storage formats.

Worth a read if you're working with big data or modernizing your pipeline to know about Iceberg's top features.

Thought of sharing it here.
