    Study Notes

    What is a Data Lakehouse?

    • A data lakehouse is a new, open data management architecture that combines the flexibility, cost-efficiency, and scale of data lakes with the data management and ACID transactions of data warehouses.
    • It enables business intelligence (BI) and machine learning (ML) on all data.

    Key Features of a Data Lakehouse

    • Combines the benefits of data lakes (flexibility, cost-efficiency, and scale) with the data management and ACID transactions of data warehouses.
    • Enables business intelligence (BI) and machine learning (ML) on all data.
    • Provides a single system for data teams to work on, eliminating the need to access multiple systems.
    • Offers complete and up-to-date data for data science, machine learning, and business analytics projects.

    Evolution of Data Storage

    • Data warehouses: limited ability to handle unstructured data, semi-structured data, and data with high variety, velocity, and volume.
    • Data lakes: emerged to handle raw data in various formats on cheap storage, but lacked critical features from data warehouses (transactions, data quality, consistency/isolation).
    • Data lakehouses: combine the benefits of data lakes and data warehouses, enabling a single system for data teams.

    Key Technology Enablers

    • Metadata layers (e.g. Delta Lake) for data lakes, providing rich management features like ACID-compliant transactions.
    • New query engine designs enabling high-performance SQL execution on data lakes.
    • Optimized access for data science and machine learning tools.

    Benefits of Data Lakehouses

    • Performance: achieves performance on large datasets that rivals popular data warehouses.
    • Simplified data access: easy for data scientists and machine learning engineers to access data in the lakehouse.
    • Improved reproducibility: audit history and time travel features help with improving reproducibility in machine learning.

    Challenges of Two-Tier Data Architecture

    • Duplicate data, extra infrastructure cost, security challenges, and significant operational costs.
    • Multiple ETL steps leading to data staleness, a significant concern of data analysts and data scientists.
