Apache Iceberg is an open table format for huge analytic datasets. Iceberg adds tables to compute engines including Spark, Trino, PrestoDB, Flink, Hive and Impala using a high-performance table format that works just like a SQL table. Iceberg is used in production where a single table can contain tens of petabytes of data and even these huge tables can be read without a distributed SQL engine. It was designed to solve correctness problems in eventually-consistent cloud object stores.

Chose Oracle Coherence
Oracle Coherence is more straightforward to deploy than IBM Datapower ExtremeScale. We used ExtremeScale previously in the form of their Datapower caching appliances. The firmware was difficult to upgrade in the appliances, and we had trouble getting them patched …
Coherence kicks Redis's butt when it comes to performance and feature set. However, it lags far behind in terms of market penetration and cloud readiness.
I did not get involved with selecting Oracle Coherence. It was already implemented when I joined the team. As I mentioned, Ehcache is probably the most well-known competitor and it is an open source application. If I were to build a new application now, I would think first …
DataSynapse GridServer has the same cache functionality connected with a grid distributed application deployment platform. It provides all the necessary tools to configure and manage these applications.
On the otherhand Oracle Coherence has more a flexible configuration and …
It literally all boils down to the budget a team has. Nowadays, even investment banks look for every opportunity to cut cost. Oracle Coherence is a pretty robust and highly configurable cache application that every team should use if they can afford. If they can't, then open source code is their answer.
Oracle Coherence support team is responsive and knowledgeable. We contacted them to ask a couple of design questions about how we were setting up Oracle Coherence based on how we used IBM's Datapower Extreme Scale. They were able to guide us so that we got the design correct the first time and didn't have to go back and re-architect our design later.
