Z-Ordering in Delta Lake (PySpark & SQL)

Z-Ordering is a data skipping technique in Delta Lake that physically reorganizes data within Parquet files to improve query performance. It is particularly useful when filtering on multiple columns, reducing the amount of data read.

# Write the DataFrame to a Delta Lake table with the default compression codec (snappy)
(df.write.format("delta")
    .mode("overwrite")
    .save("../data/tmp/employee_salary_snappy"))

Snappy is a fast, block-based compression algorithm developed by Google. It is widely used in big data frameworks like Apache Spark, Hadoop, and Kafka due to its high speed and reasonable compression ratio.

 

query = "(spark.read.format(\"delta\").load(\"../data/tmp/employee_salary_snappy\").write.mode(\"overwrite\").format(\"noop\").save())"
snappy_time = timeit.timeit(query, number=1, globals=globals())
print(f"Snappy Compression query time: {snappy_time} seconds")

 

Snappy Compression query time: 1.3332887329961522 seconds

 

  • The "noop" (No-Operation) format is a dummy output format in Spark.
  • It does not write data to any storage but executes the query plan as if it were writing.
  • This is useful for benchmarking, debugging, and performance testing without actually persisting data.

 

     zstd, brotli

(df.write.format("delta")
 .mode("overwrite")
 .option("compression", "zstd")
 .save("../data/tmp/employee_salary_zstd"))

 

query = "(spark.read.format(\"delta\").load(\"../data/tmp/employee_salary_zstd\").write.mode(\"overwrite\").format(\"noop\").save())"
zstd_time = timeit.timeit(query, number=1, globals=globals())
