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 Consumption tier and we discussed in detail the Data Discovery and Data Provisioning zones of the Data Consumption tier. We started with understanding the various processes such as data classification, relation extraction, and indexing the data, that can be applied on the Raw and Data Hub zones of the Data Lake to enable discovery of the data. After the Data Discovery is enabled, we understood the key functionalities that can be implemented to perform Data Discovery.

We have also discussed Data Provisioning in detail, understanding the various functionalities that can be provided to data consumers while requesting for data to be provisioned. In the subsequent sections, we took a look at the various Big Data tools and technologies that can be used to perform Data Discovery and Data Provisioning 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...
