so i think data from delta lake is stored in parquet format .. while the storage format seems to be delta .. very confusing some notes : What format does Delta Lake use to store data? Delta Lake uses versioned Parquet files to store your data in your cloud storage. Apart from the versions, Delta Lake also stores a transaction log to keep track of all the commits made to the table or blob store directory to provide ACID transactions. https://docs.delta.io/latest/delta-faq.html
