Upcoming behavioral change: VOID columns included in Delta table reads

In mid June 2026, Delta Lake will fully support VOID columns.

What it does

In mid June 2026, Delta Lake will fully support VOID columns. Previously, VOID columns were silently skipped by path based DataFrame reads (for example, spark.read.format("delta").load(path)) and time travel queries. After this change, these queries include VOID columns in the output.

Why it matters

Reduces operational overhead and unlocks new capabilities for data teams on Databricks.
