The OPTIMIZE command is used to compact small files into larger ones, which helps improve the performance of Delta Lake tables. It consolidates small files into fewer larger files to reduce the overhead associated with having many small files. This process is often referred to as "compaction" but the specific keyword in Databricks Delta Lake is OPTIMIZE.
