Unlocking Data Portability: Preventing Catalog Lock-in with REGISTER and UNREGISTER APIs
Databricks announced REGISTER and UNREGISTER APIs aimed at preventing catalog lock-in and enabling data portability, according to the company's headline for the announcement.
The APIs are presented in the context of organizations adopting the lakehouse architecture, a shift Databricks describes as moving data away from proprietary systems. The headline frames the APIs as a way to unlock data portability.
Beyond the API names and the stated goal of preventing catalog lock-in, the announcement summary does not specify which catalogs are supported, how the APIs behave, or when they will be available.
