Nessie

Project Nessie is a modern data catalog that provides Git-like version control for data lakes. It enables teams to manage, track, and version metadata for large-scale data stored in table formats such as Apache Iceberg. Nessie allows safe experimentation with data through branching and tagging, making data management more reliable and collaborative for analytics and AI workloads.

Features of Project Nessie:

• Git-like versioning with branches, tags, and commits for data lakes.
• Separation of data and metadata for efficient data management.
• Integration with Apache Iceberg, Spark, Trino, and Dremio.
• REST API and CLI support for easy interaction and automation.
• Improved data governance, reproducibility, and safe experimentation.

To check the version of the Nessie CLI, run the following command:
