Internal Volume

Internal Volume is automatically provided file storage space in Lakehouse. No creation is needed — it is available out of the box. It is suitable for scenarios where you do not have a cloud object storage account or need temporary file storage.

Two Types of Internal Volume

User Volume

Each user automatically has a dedicated storage space for uploading local files and importing them into tables.

-- Upload a local file
PUT '/local/data.csv' TO USER VOLUME;

-- View uploaded files
SHOW USER VOLUME DIRECTORY;

-- Import data from User Volume
COPY INTO my_table
FROM USER VOLUME
USING CSV OPTIONS('header'='true')
FILES('data.csv');

-- Download a file to local
GET USER VOLUME FILE 'data.csv' TO '/local/output/';

Table Volume

Each table is automatically associated with a storage space for managing its data files. This is typically used internally by the system; users generally do not need to operate it directly.
