15:15 so why did you join Databricks? I like how all the challenges people’s have with Iceberg today are presented as strengths. History have shown us many time being first doesn’t mean a lot, it’s just a talking point. Schema evolution was the key differentiator Iceberg had aside its loud community! Redshift added support to Iceberg far after adding support to LF Delta and Hudi. Snowflake adding Iceberg as a desperate move to stop the flow of customers moving to Databricks and the Open Lakehouse. But yes let not talk about that! The dream will be to have 1 table format with all the best features of the 3 existing table formats.
Love it! ♥
