+## Spark and Delta Lake interaction
+
+[Delta Lake](https://delta.io/) is an open-source project that enables building a Lakehouse architecture on top of data lakes. It provides ACID transactions and unifies streaming and batch data processing on top of existing data lakes, such as S3, ADLS, GCS, and HDFS.
+To setup PySpark with Delta Lake, have a look at [the recommendations in Delta Lake's documentation](https://docs.delta.io/latest/quick-start.html#python).
+
+We recommend the following workflow, which makes use of the [Transcoding](../05_data/01_data_catalog.md) feature in Kedro.
+
+```yaml
+temperature:
+  type: spark.SparkDataSet
+  filepath: data/01_raw/data.csv
+  file_format: csv
+  load_args:
+    header: True
+    inferSchema: True
+  save_args:
+    sep: '|'
+    header: True
+
+weather@spark:
+  type: spark.SparkDataSet
+  filepath: s3a://my_bucket/03_primary/temperature
+  file_format: delta
+  save_args:
+    mode: "overwrite"
+    df_writer:
+      versionAsOf: 0
+
+weather@delta:
+  type: spark.DeltaTableDataSet
+  filepath: s3a://my_bucket/03_primary/weather
+```
+
+The `DeltaTableDataSet` does not support `save()` operation, as the updates happen in place inside the node function, i.e. through `DeltaTable.update()`, `DeltaTable.delete()`, `DeltaTable.merge()`.
+
+
+> Since the save operation happens within the `node` via the DeltaTable API, the Kedro `before_dataset_saved` hook will not be triggered.
+
+```python
+Pipeline(
+    [
+        node(
+            func=process_barometer_data, inputs="temperature", outputs="weather@spark"
+        ),
+        node(
+            func=update_meterological_state,
+            inputs="weather@delta",
+            outputs="first_operation_complete",
+        ),
+        node(
+            func=estimate_weather_trend,
+            inputs=["first_operation_complete", "weather@delta"],
+            outputs="second_operation_complete",
+        ),
+    ]
+)
+```
+
+`first_operation_complete` is a `MemoryDataSet` and it signals that any Delta operations which occur "outside" the Kedro DAG are complete. This can be used as input to a downstream node, to preserve the shape of the DAG. Otherwise, if no downstream nodes need to run after this, the node can simply not return anything:
+
+```python
+Pipeline(
+    [
+        node(func=..., inputs="temperature", outputs="weather@spark"),
+        node(func=..., inputs="weather@delta", outputs=None),
+    ]
+)
+```
+
+The following diagram is the visual representation of the workflow explained above:
+
+![Spark and Delta Lake workflow](../meta/images/spark_delta_workflow.png)
+
+> Note: This pattern of creating "dummy" datasets to preserve the data flow also applies to other "out of DAG" execution operations such as SQL operations within a node.
+
 ## Use `MemoryDataSet` for intermediary `DataFrame`
 
 For nodes operating on `DataFrame` that doesn't need to perform Spark actions such as writing the `DataFrame` to storage, we recommend using the default `MemoryDataSet` to hold the `DataFrame`. In other words, there is no need to specify it in the `DataCatalog` or `catalog.yml`. This allows you to take advantage of Spark's optimiser and lazy evaluation.
