Delta Sharing — Databricks‑to‑Databricks Protocol

The Databricks‑to‑Databricks Delta Sharing protocol enables seamless sharing of datasets between Nexalis and your own Databricks workspace. Nexalis uses zero-copy sharing at the lakehouse layer, so recipients query the same shared data reality without creating duplicate storage copies in their workspace.

​
Recipient Sharing Identifier

To configure Delta Sharing, you need to provide Nexalis with your recipient sharing identifier.
This identifier is unique to your Databricks workspace and has the format: 
<cloud>:<region>:<recipient-UUID>

# Example:
aws:us-east-1:xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx

​
How to find your identifier

  1. In your Databricks workspace, click Catalog.
  2. At the top of the Catalog pane, click the Gear icon and select Delta Sharing (Alternatively, from the Quick access page, click Delta Sharing >).
  3. On the Shared with me tab, click your Databricks sharing organization name in the upper right.
  4. Select Copy sharing identifier.
Once obtained, send this identifier to your Nexalis account manager or support contact so Nexalis can configure sharing for your environment. ⚠️ Recommendation: To avoid egress costs, use the same region as the Nexalis Databricks environment.

​
After setup

After Nexalis completes the configuration, you will see the shared tables directly in your Databricks workspace:
  • nexalis_<org_name>_analog_Xminavg
  • nexalis_<org_name>_discrete
You can query these tables directly from your Databricks workspace as shared data products, with no ingestion pipeline required on the recipient side.
