介绍
Amoro is a Lakehouse management system built on open data lake formats. Working with compute engines including Flink, Spark, and Trino, Amoro brings pluggable and self-managed features for Lakehouse to provide out-of-the-box data warehouse experience, and helps data platforms or products easily build infra-decoupled, stream-and-batch-fused and lake-native architecture。
Amoro定位是一个搭建在 Apache Iceberg之上的流式湖仓服务，流式强调向实时能力的拓展，服务则强调管理、标准化度量，以及其他可以抽象到基础软件中的湖仓一体能力。
通过
Amoro，用户可以在 Flink、Spark、Trino 等引擎上实现更加优化的 CDC、流式更新、OLAP 等功能， 结合数据湖高效的离线处理能力，Arctic 能够服务于更多流批混用的场景；同时，Arctic 的结构自优化、并发冲突解决以及标准化的湖仓管理功能，将有效减少用户在数据湖管理和优化上的负担。

Amoro架构
The architecture of Amoro is as follows:
The core components of Amoro include:
-
AMS: Amoro Management Service provides Lakehouse management features, like self-optimizing, data expiration, etc. It also provides a unified catalog service for all computing engines, which can also be combined with existing metadata services.
-
Plugins: Amoro provides a wide selection of external plugins to meet different scenarios.
-
Optimizers: The self-optimizing execution engine plugin asynchronously performs merging, sorting, deduplication, layout optimization, and other operations on all type table format tables.
-
Terminal: SQL command-line tools, provide various implementations like local Spark and Kyuubi.
-
LogStore: Provide millisecond to second level SLAs for real-time data processing based on message queues like Kafka and Pulsar.
支持的格式
Amoro can manage tables of different table formats, similar to how MySQL/ClickHouse can choose different storage engines. Amoro meets diverse user needs by using different table formats. Currently, Amoro supports three table formats:
-
Iceberg format: means using the native table format of the Apache Iceberg, which has all the features and characteristics of Iceberg.
-
Mixed-Iceberg format: built on top of Iceberg format, which can accelerate data processing using LogStore and provides more efficient query performance and streaming read capability in CDC scenarios.
-
Mixed-Hive format: has the same features as the Mixed-Iceberg tables but is compatible with a Hive table. Support upgrading Hive tables to Mixed-Hive tables, and allow Hive’s native read and write methods after upgrading.

应用场景
Self-managed streaming Lakehouse
Amoro makes it easier for users to handle the challenges of writing to a real-time data lake, such as ingesting append-only event logs or CDC data from databases. In these scenarios, the rapid increase of fragment and redundant files cannot be ignored. To address this issue, Amoro provides a pluggable streaming data self-optimizing mechanism that automatically compacts fragment files and removes expired data, ensuring high-quality table queries while reducing system costs.
Stream-and-batch-fused data pipeline
Whether in the AI or BI business field , the requirement for real-time analysis is becoming increasingly high. The traditional approach of using one streaming job to complete all data processing from the source to the end is no longer applicable. There is an increasing demand for layered construction of streaming data pipeline, and the traditional layered construction approach based on message queues can cause a inconsistency problem between the streaming and batch data processing. Building a unified stream-and-batch-fused pipeline based on new data lake formats is the future direction for solving these problems. Amoro fully leverages the characteristics of the new data lake table formats about unified streaming and batch processing, not only ensuring the quality of data in the streaming pileline but also enhancing critical features such as incremental reading for CDC data and streaming dimension table association, helping users to build a stream-and-batch-fused data pipeline.
Cloud-native Lakehouse
Currently, most data platforms and products are tightly coupled with their underlying infrastructure(such as the storage layer). The migration of infrastructure, such as switching to cloud-native OSS, may require extensive adaptation efforts or even be impossible. However, Amoro provides an infra-decoupled, lake-native architecture built on top of the infrastructure. This allows products based on Amoro to interact with the underlying infrastructure through a unified interface (Amoro Catalog service), protecting upper-layer products from the impact of infrastructure switch.
