Any setting of `loader_file_format` is disregarded. +:::caution +Beware that when loading a large amount of data for one table, the underlying rust implementation will consume a lot of memory. This is a known issue and the maintainers are actively working on a solution. You can track the progress [here](https://github.com/delta-io/delta-rs/pull/2289). Until the issue is resolved, you can mitigate the memory consumption by doing multiple smaller incremental pipeline runs. +::: + #### Delta table partitioning A Delta table can be partitioned ([Hive-style partitioning](https://delta.io/blog/pros-cons-hive-style-partionining/)) by specifying one or more `partition` column hints. This example partitions the Delta table by the `foo` column:
