A step-by-step process for designing and maintaining a data lake to retain data without a predefined structure, with emphasis on monitoring and security.
Data Lake Architecture
Want to see primary aspects of an effective Data Lake Architecture?
1. Ingestion LayerResponsible for processing raw data into data inside the data lake, without modifying the raw data. It can be either a front-end or back-end depending on the application requirements.
2. Distillation LayerTransforms structured data into an ingestible form for Ingestion Layer, known as data cleansing or purging. Once transformed, data is clear-cut & formatted, ready for business users.
3. Processing LayerIt involves designing data stores & analytical tools, determining which parts of the system will execute complex queries, & transforming structured data into usable information.
