Frequently asked questions

What is the best versioning strategy to choose?

What is the best versioning strategy to choose?

How does choosing a versioning strategy depend on factors like dataset size?

Choosing a versioning strategy depends on several key factors, including the size of your datasets, how frequently they change, the need for reproducibility, collaboration within teams, and storage limitations. For smaller files, Git is often suitable, while larger datasets may require DVC or Delta Lake; real-time scenarios benefit from stream-based versioning, and compliance demands a full audit trail.

How does hash-based versioning work?

Hash-based versioning utilizes cryptographic hash functions (such as MD5 or SHA256) to generate unique identifiers for data versions. When data changes, the hash value also changes, creating a new version. This approach offers advantages like automated change detection, deduplication, and data integrity; however, it doesn’t store semantic information about those changes.
