A data warehouse is often replaced by a data lake where big data engineers modify thesequence of ETL operations.
Loading starts immediately after extracting data, so a data lake storesdata in its native formatin contrast to the warehouse where data is already processed and ready for use. That’s very convenient if data scientists haven’t yet decided on its further use. So, once they make up their minds, they can easily access and process a selected data chunk on demand. This greatly increases data processing capabilities.
Data lakes have much largerstorage capacity. So, storing a lot of raw data, they risk mutating into data swamps. To prevent that, big data engineers must carefully exercise appropriate data quality and data governance measures. For instance, giving unique identifiers and metadata tags to every data element.
Having veryfew limitations, data lakes are flexible in terms of making changes to data.
