Background

Currently, when working with Apache Kafka® and Azure Databricks® (Apache Spark®), there is a built-in mechanism to transform Apache Avro® data to Apache Parquet® files. The issue with this approach, if we think in medallion lakehouse architecture, is that AVRO with nested data, will be persisted in a single PARQUET file in the bronze layer (full, raw and unprocessed history of each dataset) relying on ArrayType, MapType and StructType to represent the nested data. This will make it a bit more tedious to post-process data respectively in the following layers: silver (validated and deduplicated data) and gold (data as knowledge).

To avoid this issue, we present an open-source library, that will help transform AVRO, with nested data, to multiple PARQUET files where each of the nested data elements will be represented as an extension table (separate file). This will allow to merge both the bronze and silver layers (full, raw and history of each dataset combined with defined structure, enforced schemas as well validated and deduplicated data), to make it easier for data engineers/scientists and business analysts to combine data with already known logic (SQL joins).

As two of the medallion layers are being combined to a single, it might lead to the possible saving of a ⅓ in disk usage. Furthermore, since we aren't relying on a naive approach, when flattening and storing data, it could further lead to greater savings and a more sustainable and environmentally friendly approach.
