Open table formats have transformed analytical storage, but the performance of a lakehouse increasingly depends on metadata architecture, maintenance, and workload-aware data organization.
The modern data lakehouse emerged from a compelling idea: combine the flexibility and economics of object storage with the reliability and management capabilities traditionally associated with data warehouses.
Technologies such as Apache Iceberg, Delta Lake, and Apache Hudi provide capabilities for managing large analytical tables, including transactional updates, schema evolution, and metadata-driven access.
These capabilities have made lakehouse architectures practical for a growing range of enterprise workloads.
Yet, a lakehouse can become difficult to operate even when its underlying object storage scales almost without limit.
Queries slow down. Planning takes longer. Small files accumulate. Maintenance jobs compete with analytical workloads. Metadata grows, and operational costs become harder to predict.
The problem is not necessarily insufficient compute.
It may be the increasing cost of discovering, planning, maintaining, and interpreting the data itself.
Object storage is designed to hold enormous volumes of data.
That does not mean every layout of that data is equally efficient to query.
Imagine a table containing several terabytes of transactional records.
One version stores the data in appropriately sized columnar files organized around common query patterns. Another stores the same logical records across hundreds of thousands of small files.
Both datasets may occupy similar logical storage capacity.
But their query-planning and execution characteristics can differ substantially.
The second layout may require more file metadata, more object operations, additional task scheduling, and less efficient scans.
This illustrates an important distinction: data volume alone does not determine lakehouse performance.
File count, partition distribution, metadata structure, delete-file accumulation, and query selectivity also matter.
Small files are often created by continuous ingestion, frequent micro-batches, highly granular partitioning, and distributed writers producing many outputs.
A platform can write data successfully while gradually creating a layout that is expensive for downstream readers.
Compaction can help by combining files into more efficient units.
But compaction itself consumes compute and I/O.
It also needs to respect concurrency, table-format semantics, and the behavior of active readers and writers.
This makes file maintenance an economic decision, not simply a background housekeeping task.
A useful operating question is whether the reduction in future query cost justifies the immediate maintenance cost.
Apache Iceberg uses table metadata and manifests to describe snapshots and data files. Delta Lake uses a transaction log and checkpoints to manage table state.
These structures provide capabilities that would be difficult to implement reliably using an unmanaged directory of files.
They also introduce metadata lifecycle responsibilities.
As tables evolve, teams need to consider snapshot retention, manifest organization, transaction-log maintenance, metadata cleanup, and the interaction between readers and writers.
Metadata should therefore be treated as performance-critical infrastructure.
It determines not only what data exists, but also how efficiently a query engine can identify the data it needs.
Partitioning improves performance when it helps a query avoid irrelevant data.
But excessive partition granularity can create operational problems.
Suppose a dataset is partitioned by a combination of date, store, region, and another high-cardinality attribute.
If many combinations contain very little data, the system may produce numerous small files and partitions.
The resulting metadata and file-management costs can outweigh the benefit of pruning.
The correct partitioning strategy depends on query patterns, data distribution, update frequency, and table-format capabilities.
A partitioning scheme should be evaluated against actual workload characteristics rather than chosen only because the columns appear useful for filtering.
Lakehouse maintenance introduces another important challenge: removing data safely.
Snapshot expiration and orphan-file cleanup can reclaim storage, but poorly configured retention can interfere with long-running readers, rollback requirements, or concurrent operations.
Maintenance must respect the table format's rules and the organization's recovery expectations.
Storage reclamation should never be treated as a simple directory deletion operation.
The platform needs a clear understanding of which files are still referenced, which snapshots remain necessary, and when physical deletion is safe.
I propose evaluating maintenance decisions through five signals:
|
Signal |
What it reveals |
|---|---|
|
File-size distribution |
Whether the table contains excessive small files |
|
Metadata/planning time |
Whether discovery and planning are becoming expensive |
|
Query workload |
Which tables and partitions deliver the greatest optimization value |
|
Update and delete patterns |
Where rewriting or delete-file handling is necessary |
|
Maintenance cost |
Whether optimization produces a net economic benefit |
These signals can guide a workload-aware maintenance policy.
For example, a heavily queried table with poor file organization may justify frequent optimization. A rarely accessed historical table may not.
Similarly, a table with frequent updates may require a different maintenance schedule from an append-only analytical dataset.
The framework is a proposed engineering approach, not a claim of a novel algorithm or experimentally proven performance improvement.
A reproducible evaluation could compare three strategies.
Baseline A — No proactive optimization: Retain normal ingestion behavior and measure the resulting query and storage characteristics.
Baseline B — Fixed-schedule maintenance: Run compaction and metadata maintenance at a predefined interval.
Strategy C — Workload-aware maintenance: Trigger optimization based on observed file distribution, planning time, query frequency, and estimated maintenance cost.
The experiment should use identical data, query workloads, compute configurations, and table-format versions.
Important measurements include query latency, planning time, object-storage operations, maintenance runtime, bytes rewritten, storage usage, and total cost.
A useful economic measure is:
Net optimization value = avoided query cost − maintenance cost − additional storage cost
This simplified expression is not sufficient by itself to account for reliability and SLA requirements, but it provides a starting point for cost analysis.
The purpose of the experiment would be to establish when proactive maintenance is beneficial and when it merely adds overhead.
Metadata is not only a query-optimization concern.
Catalog consistency, schema history, ownership, lineage, and retention policies influence how confidently organizations can use lakehouse data.
As analytical systems become inputs to AI applications, the consequences of unreliable metadata become more significant.
A data product may be physically available but operationally unsuitable if consumers cannot determine its freshness, provenance, or schema compatibility.
This suggests that metadata performance and metadata governance should be managed together.
The most important lakehouse optimization opportunities are not always in the query engine.
They may be in the systems that decide which files exist, how tables evolve, which snapshots remain necessary, and how workloads interact with stored data.
Lakehouse platforms should be designed around the lifecycle of data and metadata, not only the initial ingestion path.
A scalable lakehouse is one where storage growth does not automatically produce uncontrolled growth in planning overhead, maintenance cost, and operational complexity.
The next optimization question should be:
Are we managing the physical and metadata structure of the lakehouse as deliberately as we manage its compute?

A few years ago, I worked on a problem in Apache Fineract (an open-source platform for building financial services and core banking systems) that sounds simple until you start looking closely at it: when a borrower makes a payment, exactly where should that money go?
To solve this problem, I designed the Advanced Payment Allocation Strategy introduced in Apache Fineract 1.9.0 and implemented core parts of its behavior. The goal was to move away from repayment strategies where allocation rules were largely hard-coded, and make those rules much more configurable.
Advanced Payment Allocation allows financial institutions to define how different transaction types should be applied across past-due, currently due, and future installments; how principal, interest, fees, and penalties should be prioritized; and how payments made in advance should affect future installments. It also introduced chronological reprocessing of transactions and charges and supports different horizontal and vertical approaches to allocation. I later presented the work at Community Over Code Europe 2024 conference, where I discussed both the business requirements behind the strategy and the mechanics used to implement it.
However, building it exposed a much broader financial software design problem, which I found interesting: how do you translate a financial institution’s business policy into precise, deterministic software behavior that remains correct as transactions, schedules, and product rules evolve? Payment allocation is a good example of what happens when a financial institution's business policy has to become precise, deterministic software behavior. A rule that sounds straightforward to a product or finance team can quickly become a combination of priorities, state transitions, chronology, lifecycle events, and exceptions. That is where payment allocation connects to a broader idea, Financial Product Engineering: the discipline of translating financial intent into precise, reliable, and evolvable software behavior.
To see why, let’s start with a (deceptively) simple question: a borrower makes a payment of €100. Where does the money go? At first, this sounds like one of the simpler questions a lending system should be able to answer. Reduce the balance by €100… but which balance? Does the payment cover overdue principal first? Accrued interest? A fee? A penalty? The current installment? A future installment? If some of the money remains after the current obligation is satisfied, does it reduce the next installment? The final installment? Should it be spread across future installments? And should a repayment follow the same rules as a merchant refund, goodwill credit, charge adjustment, or another type of transaction? Once you start answering those questions, payment allocation stops looking like a payment-processing detail - it becomes financial product behavior.
While designing and implementing core parts of Apache Fineract's Advanced Payment Allocation strategy, this was one of the engineering lessons that became clear to me. The difficult problem was not taking an amount and distributing it across balances; it was translating financial policy into software behavior precisely enough that the system could apply it consistently, explainably, and safely as the loan evolved. And that problem goes beyond payment allocation - I think it illustrates a broader discipline that financial software teams increasingly need to treat explicitly: Financial Product Engineering. Payment allocation is a good place to see why that matters.
Let’s say a borrower has the following obligations:
|
Past-due principal |
€50 |
|---|---|
|
Past-due interest |
€15 |
|
Past-due fee |
€0 |
|
Past-due penalty |
€0 |
|
Due principal |
€40 |
|
Due interest |
€10 |
|
Due fee |
€5 |
|
Due penalty |
€0 |
So the borrower sends €100. There is no universal answer to how those €100 should be applied. One lender might prioritize overdue interest before principal, another might prioritize principal, and another may require fees to be settled first. The priority might also depend on the transaction type. And if the payment exceeds everything currently due, there is another decision to make: what does the remaining amount do to the future schedule? Each answer represents a financial policy, and software has to turn that policy into something deterministic. For example:
And another product could have a completely different sequence. The important observation is that this ordering is not metadata about the loan. Once the system starts processing transactions, the ordering becomes the product's behavior: it determines balances, it influences the repayment schedule, it affects what becomes overdue, it can influence interest calculations and accounting consequences, and it changes the financial state from which the next event will be processed. A configuration field in a lending platform can therefore carry far more meaning than a typical software setting - it can encode financial policy.
Apache Fineract has supported different transaction-processing strategies for many years. The problem with traditional repayment strategies was not that they couldn't allocate payments (they could). The problem was that the allocation behavior was embedded in predefined strategies. If a particular institution needed a different sequence, the usual engineering response was to represent another set of business rules in code. That approach works surprisingly well when the product is stable; it becomes painful when financial products start evolving.
Fineract's Advanced Payment Allocation model was introduced specifically to allow allocation rules to be configured dynamically by transaction type rather than having those rules fixed inside separate repayment strategies. The model can distinguish past-due, due and future installments; prioritize principal, interest, fees and penalties; define how future installments should be treated; and chronologically reprocess transactions and charges. That change might sound like a normal move from hard-coded logic to configuration, but in financial software, there is a deeper architectural shift underneath it.
The system is moving from: Financial policy → Developer interpretation → Code
To: Financial policy → Explicit product rules → Generic execution model → Financial state
The goal is to make the financial rule itself a first-class concept in the system.
There is a trap here. When engineers hear "make it configurable," the instinct can be to expose enough switches and parameters that almost anything becomes possible. In financial systems, that could be dangerous. Configurability does not remove the need for precision - it increases it. If a system allows payment allocation to vary, then it needs an exact vocabulary for expressing that variation. For example, there are at least two different dimensions involved.
The first is which installment should receive money: Past due / Due now / Future
The second is which financial component should receive money: Principal / Interest / Fee / Penalty
Then, future payments introduce another question. If money should be allocated to installments that are not yet due, which ones? Apache Fineract's model supports different approaches, including allocating toward the next installment, the last installment, or re-amortizing an amount across future installments. Those are not cosmetic choices, they produce different financial outcomes. This is why good financial configuration needs strong semantics. A useful financial rule should be flexible enough to represent product policy but constrained enough that its meaning remains clear.
In other words: The purpose of financial configuration is not unlimited flexibility, it is controlled variation with deterministic financial meaning.
Payment allocation also taught me that even something as simple as priority can have more than one interpretation. Let’s imagine three overdue installments: each contains principal, interest, and perhaps fees or penalties. Should the system completely satisfy the oldest installment before moving on to the next? Conceptually:
Installment 1
then: Installment 2
Or should it prioritize one balance category across the relevant installments? For example:
These different ways of traversing the financial state can lead to different results. They also demonstrate why product specialists and software engineers need a shared model. Saying "penalties come first" is not necessarily sufficient, an engineer still needs to know: Penalties where? Across which installments? Relative to which other dimensions? Under which transaction type? At which point in the loan lifecycle? Many difficult financial-software bugs begin in the space between a sentence that sounds clear to a human and a rule that must be unambiguous to a machine.
There was another aspect of Advanced Payment Allocation that I found particularly important: chronological processing. Imagine this sequence:
Now imagine that something causes the system to reprocess the loan. The January 10 payment should not suddenly behave as though the January 15 charge already existed, as that would rewrite financial history. The system needs to reproduce what the financial state should have been at each point in the sequence. This is why Advanced Payment Allocation processes transactions and charges chronologically. It is not merely a technical implementation preference; it protects the relationship between an event and the financial state that existed when that event occurred. This leads to a broader principle:
In financial software, the result of an event often depends not only on what happened, but on what the system knew financially at the moment it happened.
That becomes really important when dealing with reversals, corrections, backdated transactions, restructures, refunds, and other lifecycle events. A loan cannot always be understood by looking only at its current database state, sometimes you need to understand the sequence that created that state.
That is why I tend to think about lending systems as financial state machines.
A payment is not simply: balance = balance - payment
It is closer to: current financial state + transaction + applicable product rules → new financial state
And the new financial state becomes the input for whatever happens next. The consequences compound.
Consider: Disbursement → Repayment → Partial repayment → Fee → Late payment → Charge adjustment → Prepayment → Reversal
Every step depends on the state produced by the previous steps. This is why the happy path is rarely the hardest part of a lending engine. Creating a loan, generating a schedule, and processing an ordinary repayment might demonstrate that the basic model works. The more revealing questions come later.
Those are not secondary scenarios, they are where the product model is actually tested.
I find it useful to describe this using what I call the Financial Product Engineering Chain: Financial Intent → Product Rules → Software Behavior → Financial State → Validation → Evolution
Payment allocation can travel through the entire chain.
Financial Intent: A lender decides how borrower payments should satisfy obligations.
Product Rules: That policy becomes explicit priorities covering installments, balance components, transaction types, and future allocation.
Software Behavior: The platform executes those rules when transactions occur.
Financial State: Principal, interest, fees, penalties, installments, and schedules change as a result.
Validation: The team needs to prove that sequences of events produce the expected financial outcome.
Evolution: The financial institution changes its product, requiring different rules without corrupting existing contracts.
The difficult part is preserving meaning all the way through. A financial policy can be perfectly reasonable at the intent level and still become incorrect software behavior if one of those translations is ambiguous.
Changing a rule in financial software introduces another problem that conventional configuration systems do not always face. Existing contracts already have financial history. Let’s say a lender changes its payment-allocation policy today. Should an existing loan that originated six months ago suddenly start following the new behavior? Sometimes, maybe. Sometimes not. Apache Fineract's Advanced Payment Allocation requirements explicitly state that changes made to payment-allocation rules at loan-product level apply to newly created loan accounts, while existing accounts retain the old rules. That is an important architectural idea.
Software has to represent both realities. That means product configuration is not simply about the current settings, it is also about knowing which financial behavior applies to which contract. Once a platform has thousands or millions of live loans, changing product behavior safely becomes a versioning problem, a lifecycle problem, and a data-integrity problem at the same time. This is why I believe the ability to change a financial product is increasingly a technology capability. The question is not only if the system can support this lending product. A better question is: If the product changes next year, can we introduce the new behavior without losing the meaning of everything that already happened?
This also changes how financial software should be tested. A test such as: payment allocation result = €100 doesn't tell us much. The interesting tests describe financial behavior. For example, given:
When: a €100 repayment is made
Then: allocation follows the configured priority
And: the correct installments are updated
And: the remaining balances are correct
Then introduce another event. Reverse the payment. Add a charge between two historical transactions. Make the next payment early. Change the sequence. Use another transaction type. The unit of correctness increasingly becomes the financial lifecycle, not an isolated calculation. This is one reason financial-domain knowledge matters so much in lending engineering. A technically correct implementation of the wrong financial rule is still wrong.
Payment allocation might sound like an unusually specialized example. I think it reveals something much broader about building financial products. Traditional product development often assumes a sequence:
Business defines requirements → Product refines them → Engineering implements them
That separation becomes problematic when the requirement itself contains complex executable behavior. An engineer designing payment allocation needs to understand why allocation order matters; a product specialist needs to understand what must be explicit for the software to execute the policy deterministically; a financial-domain specialist needs to understand the constraints of transaction histories, schedules, reversals, and state. None of those disciplines can safely operate only at the end of the chain, they have to converge much earlier. That convergence is what I mean by Financial Product Engineering - it is the point where all three have to meet.
Advanced Payment Allocation was designed to solve a specific lending problem, but the architectural lesson I take from it is much broader.
If those rules are buried throughout application code, changing the financial product becomes increasingly risky. If they become configurable without precise semantics, the system becomes flexible but difficult to reason about. The engineering challenge lies between those two extremes. We need financial behavior that is explicit enough to understand, precise enough to execute, constrained enough to trust, testable enough to validate, and evolvable enough to change. That is the deeper reason I find payment allocation interesting. The question was never simply where a €100 payment goes, but how do you take a financial institution's intent about that €100 and turn it into software behavior that remains correct through every event that follows? That is a Financial Product Engineering problem.

You have a new prompt, model, or orchestration policy. Offline tests look good, but the change will see vocabulary, timing, and context combinations that your fixture set never captured.
So you shadow-test it: send production traffic to both the current agent and the candidate, compare their decisions, and keep the current agent in control.
Then the candidate calls send_email too.
Now one user request has produced two real messages. The “safe” experiment has become a duplicate-action incident.
This synthetic failure happens when shadowing is implemented as “run the whole application twice.” For agents that can change the world, shadow testing must duplicate observation and decision—not authority and effects.
An action-taking agent contains at least four separable stages:
input -> decision proposal -> policy/approval -> tool execution -> outcome
The shadow should stop after the proposal and policy simulation:
+--> primary decision --> real policy --> execute
sanitized input/context -|
+--> shadow decision --> dry policy --> record only
This boundary is useful beyond experiments. It makes approvals testable, prevents a model response from directly becoming an external write, and gives you structured evidence to compare.
Instead of letting the model own an executable tool object, normalize its choice into a proposal:
type ActionProposal = {
action: string;
schemaVersion: number;
args: Record<string, unknown>;
reasonCode: string;
confidence?: {
value: number;
source: "model" | "calibrator";
};
};
type PolicyDecision = {
result: "allow" | "deny" | "require_approval";
policyVersion: string;
reasonCodes: string[];
};
Do not collect hidden chain-of-thought. A bounded reason code such as invoice_overdue or user_requested_change is reviewable. If you store a short explanation, treat it as untrusted, redact it, and never require private reasoning from a model.
The executor accepts only a proposal that has passed real policy:
async function executeAuthorized(
proposal: ActionProposal,
decision: PolicyDecision,
context: ExecutionContext,
) {
if (context.mode !== "primary") {
throw new Error("Effects are disabled outside primary mode");
}
if (decision.result !== "allow") {
throw new Error(`Action is not authorized: ${decision.result}`);
}
return toolRegistry.execute(proposal, context);
}
That mode check is defense in depth. The stronger control is that the shadow environment never receives write-capable credentials.
A dryRun: true flag passed into a real tool is fragile. One tool may ignore it, a refactor may omit it, or a newly registered tool may default to execution.
Build a distinct registry:
type ToolDescriptor = {
name: string;
inputSchema: object;
sideEffect: "read" | "write";
};
const shadowTools = realTools.map(({ name, inputSchema, sideEffect }) => ({
name,
inputSchema,
sideEffect,
} satisfies ToolDescriptor));
The candidate sees the same tool names and schemas needed to make a decision, but the objects have no execute method. If it proposes send_email, the harness records the arguments and predicted policy result.
At the infrastructure layer, use separate identities and network policy:
Application checks can fail. Missing credentials fail closed.
Copying an entire production prompt into an experiment can expose personal, contractual, or security-sensitive data. Define a context projection:
type ShadowContext = {
requestClass: string;
locale: string;
accountTier: string;
recentEventCodes: string[];
policyFacts: Record<string, boolean | number | string>;
};
function toShadowContext(input: LiveContext): ShadowContext {
return {
requestClass: input.requestClass,
locale: input.locale,
accountTier: input.accountTier,
recentEventCodes: input.events.map(event => event.code).slice(-10),
policyFacts: selectApprovedPolicyFacts(input),
};
}
Run this projection through privacy and threat review. The candidate often needs less context than the primary runtime accumulated.
Two good agents can explain the same decision differently. Text similarity therefore creates noisy promotion gates.
Compare structured behavior:
type DecisionDiff = {
sameAction: boolean;
changedArgumentPaths: string[];
primaryPolicy: PolicyDecision["result"];
shadowPolicy: PolicyDecision["result"];
riskClass: "equivalent" | "benign_change" | "review" | "unsafe";
};
The highest-signal mismatches are usually:
Google's Agents CLI evaluation guide reflects this broader view of agent quality: it separates tool-use quality, trajectory quality, task success, final-response quality, hallucination, grounding, and safety. A shadow score should likewise be a vector, not a single “similarity” percentage.
The shadow can run the current policy engine in a non-authoritative mode. That reveals whether the candidate's proposal would be allowed.
const simulated = await policy.evaluate({
proposal: shadowProposal,
principal: redactedPrincipalFacts,
mode: "simulate",
policyVersion: productionPolicyVersion,
});
Simulation must not mint approval tokens, reserve inventory, mutate rate-limit counters, or write audit decisions into the authoritative ledger. If the policy system cannot evaluate without side effects, build a pure policy core and keep recording outside it.
Also record the policy version. A candidate comparison is uninterpretable if primary and shadow were evaluated under different rules without saying so.
It is easy to shadow only the simple requests that survive a convenient filter. The resulting dashboard says the candidate is safe because risky traffic never entered the experiment.
Define inclusion explicitly:
type ShadowEligibility = {
eligible: boolean;
reason:
| "selected"
| "privacy_excluded"
| "unsupported_tool"
| "budget_excluded"
| "control_group";
};
Report both the evaluated population and exclusions. Stratify results by action type, risk level, language, account segment, workflow length, and whether the primary required recovery. Otherwise a large aggregate can hide the exact slice that matters.
One primary output versus one candidate output does not tell you the candidate's variance. For a bounded sample, run multiple candidate trials with fixed configuration and preserve the random seed where the provider supports it.
Do not mistake a seed for full determinism. Provider updates, retrieval changes, timestamps, tool data, and concurrency can still change behavior.
Useful summaries include:
action agreement distribution
forbidden-action proposal rate
approval-bypass proposal rate
argument-diff severity
p50/p95 decision latency
token and cost distribution
variance across repeated candidate runs
coverage and exclusion rate
Never invent thresholds because they sound mature. Set them from product risk and baseline behavior, then document the decision.
Shadowing is one stage, not a release strategy by itself.
Promotion should consider downstream outcomes, not only proposal agreement. The current agent may be consistently wrong. A candidate that disagrees could be an improvement, so route meaningful disagreements to labeled review rather than automatically treating the primary as truth.
A reviewable record needs enough context to reproduce the comparison without becoming a privacy archive:
type ShadowRecord = {
experimentId: string;
requestFingerprint: string;
cohort: string;
primary: { proposal: ActionProposal; policy: PolicyDecision };
candidate: { proposal: ActionProposal; policy: PolicyDecision };
diff: DecisionDiff;
primaryVersion: string;
candidateVersion: string;
policyVersion: string;
evaluatedAt: string;
};
Store raw prompts and outputs only when authorized and necessary. Prefer schema-approved fields, stable fingerprints, and short retention. Observability should reduce uncertainty without expanding the blast radius of sensitive data.
I would encode this as an automated contract:
For every shadow run:
external_write_count == 0
authoritative_approval_count == 0
production_message_publish_count == 0
If the telemetry needed to verify those invariants is missing, the experiment should fail closed or pause. “We did not see a write” is weaker than “the shadow identity could not write.”
The point of shadow testing is to learn from realistic inputs before granting realistic authority. Duplicate the decision surface. Keep the effect surface singular.
