Describe the process of cloning a Delta Lake table using the Delta clone feature. Discuss the benefits of using clone over traditional data copying methods in terms of storage efficiency and operational speed.
A
Delta clone creates a full physical copy of the data, similar to traditional data copying methods but with faster processing times.
B
Delta clone in Delta Lake creates a shallow copy of the data, pointing to the original data files without duplicating them. This reduces storage overhead and speeds up the cloning process.
C
Delta clone is used exclusively for metadata operations and does not involve any data copying.
D
Delta clone in Delta Lake is primarily used for data archival and does not offer any operational efficiencies.
