## Requirements for Underlying Storage Systems

Delta Lake ACID guarantees are predicated on the atomicity and durability guarantees of the storage system. Specifically, we require the storage system to provide the following.

1. **Atomic visibility**: There must be a way for a file to be visible in its entirety or not visible at all.
2. **Mutual exclusion**: Only one writer must be able to create (or rename) a file at the final destination.
3. **Consistent listing**: Once a file has been written in a directory, all future listings for that directory must return that file.

See the [online documentation on Storage Configuration](https://docs.delta.io/latest/delta-storage.html) for details.
