Depending on how you measure it, the answer will be 11 million newspaper pages or… just one Hadoop cluster and one tech specialist who can move 4 terabytes of textual data to a new location in 24 hours. The Hadoop toy. So the first secret to Hadoop’s success seems clear — it’s cute. What is Hadoop?

Understanding data warehouses A data warehouse is a consolidated storage unit and processing hub for your data. Teams using a data warehouse usually leverage SQL queries for analytics use cases. This same structure aids in maintaining data quality and simplifies how users interact with and understand the data.

Traditionally, after being stored in a data lake, raw data was then often moved to various destinations like a data warehouse for further processing, analysis, and consumption. Databricks Data Catalog and AWS Lake Formation are examples in this vein. AWS is one of the most popular data lake vendors.

In a nutshell, the lakehouse system leverages low-cost storage to keep large volumes of data in its raw formats just like data lakes. At the same time, it brings structure to data and empowers data management features similar to those in data warehouses by implementing the metadata layer on top of the store.

Instead of relying on traditional hierarchical structures and predefined schemas, as in the case of data warehouses, a data lake utilizes a flat architecture. This structure is made efficient by data engineering practices that include object storage. Watch our video explaining how data engineering works.
