In our one previous guide, we have shown step by step tutorial on how to create Data Lake on server and talked basic matters around data lake. A data lake comprises of multiple repositories providing data to an organisation for analytical processing including analytics & reporting. In another guide, we have talked about medical prediction using the data lake. It is James Dixon who coined the term data lake for using useful data in “cleansed, packaged and structured for easy consumption” while the whole data lake is more like a tank of water. Data will flow from the streams to the lake. Users have access to the lake to do the work they want. In other words, like electricity is analogous to water, big data is analogous to water.
