A data lake is a vast pool of raw data that has yet to be processed. Data lakes are usually found in an organization’s Hadoop cluster. The data within a data lake can come from a variety of sources, including social media, transactional systems, and web logs.<\/p>\n

A data lake is a storage repository that holds a vast amount of raw data in its native format until it is needed. When data is needed, it can be transformed and ingested into a data warehouse for analysis and reporting, or it can be used in its raw form for exploration and discovery.<\/p>\n

How do you build a data lake architecture? <\/h2>\n

A data lake is a centralized repository that allows you to store all your structured and unstructured data at any scale. It is a key component of a modern data architecture that enables you to build a robust data lake architecture. There are a few key attributes of a data lake that are essential for a successful implementation:<\/p>\n

1) A data lake must have a clear goal or purpose. What data do you want to collect and why? What business problem are you trying to solve? Defining these upfront will help you determine what type of data to collect, how to collect it, and how to store it.<\/p>\n
