The record

What it does: Apache Hudi is an open data lakehouse platform that brings database functionality to data lakes and supports incremental processing for low-latency analytics.
Mutability: Hudi supports updating and deleting data with pluggable indexing, including CDC and streaming workloads.
Transactions: Hudi lists atomic writes, snapshot isolation, and non-blocking concurrency controls among its transactional features.
Time travel: Hudi supports querying historical table versions, rolling back, and reviewing commit history.
Table services: Hudi automates table services including clustering, compaction, cleaning, file sizing, and indexing.
Schema: Hudi supports schema evolution and enforcement to adapt tables as data changes and help avoid data corruption.
Integrations: The site lists integrations including Apache Spark, Apache Flink, Kafka, Debezium, Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, Azure Blob Storage, Trino, and dbt.
Integration limitation: The integrations page says some listed systems support reading only, so Spark or Flink can be used to write Hudi tables for those systems to query.
Download options: The download page offers source releases and Maven bundles for Spark, Flink, query engines, utilities, and platform integrations.
Release verification: The download page instructs users to verify downloaded release files with PGP signatures.
Security model: Hudi relies on the security posture of its underlying compute engine and storage environment.
Vulnerability reporting: The security page asks people to report potential vulnerabilities privately to the Apache Security Team before public disclosure.
Support: The site points users to community channels including Slack, GitHub, and the Hudi mailing list for community participation and technical help.
Intended users: The site describes Hudi as a platform for building data lakes and lakehouses with streaming ingestion and incremental data processing.
