As per the documentation https://cloud.google.com/blog/topics/developers-practitioners/how-build-open-cloud-datalake-delta-lake-presto-dataproc-metastore, delta is natively supported on image versions > 1.5 and jars should be available in the path /usr/lib/delta/jars.
Question:
I have image version '2.1.18-debian11' , but do not see delta-core.jar under the path /usr/lib/delta/jars. Also do not see any option to choose delta (similar to Jupyter notebook) when launching new dataproc cluster. Would like to know if Delta is natively supported on dataproc?
Delta lake is not installed in Dataproc 2.0+, users can bring their own delta lake jars as their job dependencies.
