About OpenHouse
OpenHouse breaks ground on Iceberg views while tightening storage lifecycle and authorization
OpenHouse (LinkedIn's managed Iceberg tables service) is shipping at a rapid v0.5.x pace with multiple improvements per week. Recent work spans three areas: storage lifecycle management (native snapshot expiration with reference age defaults, orphan file reclamation), authorization hardening (routing RTAS operations through proper table privilege checks), and the first scaffolding for Iceberg view support (entityType discriminator, table-scoped HTS queries).
