Data Lake Development with Big Data

Overview of this book

A Data Lake is a highly scalable platform for storing huge volumes of multistructured data from disparate sources with centralized data management services. This book explores the potential of Data Lakes and explores architectural approaches to building data lakes that ingest, index, manage, and analyze massive amounts of data using batch and real-time processing frameworks. It guides you on how to go about building a Data Lake that is managed by Hadoop and accessed as required by other Big Data applications. This book will guide readers (using best practices) in developing Data Lake's capabilities. It will focus on architect data governance, security, data quality, data lineage tracking, metadata management, and semantic data tagging. By the end of this book, you will have a good understanding of building a Data Lake for Big Data.

Summary

This chapter explained the Data Management Tier in detail; we started with understanding Data Integration and its prominent features. Practical Data Integration scenarios were explained to help you comprehend what Data Integration does in real-life scenarios.

The various steps involved in the Data Integration process were explained in detail; we then took a deep dive into how Data Lake excels in performing Data Integration when compared to its traditional counterparts. In the subsequent sections, we took a look at the various Big Data tools and technologies that can be used for performing Data Integration in order to help you in decision making and arrive at the set of technologies that can be used for specific use cases, by giving an overview of where these tools can be used.

In the next chapter, you will understand the Data Discovery and Provisioning Zones of the Data Consumption Tier; it will take you through the key functionalities of this zone and provide architectural guidance...
