Evolution of the Data Lake—Implementing Real-Time Change Data in Hadoop

A ten-fold increase in worldwide data by 2025 is one of many predictions about big data. With such growth rates in data, the “data lake” is a very popular concept today. Everybody touts their platform capabilities for the data lake, and it is all about Apache Hadoop. With its proven cost-effective, highly scalable, and reliable means of storing vast data sets on cost-effective commodity hardware regardless of format, it seems to be the ideal analytics repository. However, the power of discovery that comes with the lack of a schema also creates a barrier for integrating well-understood transaction data that is more comfortably stored in a relational database. Rapidly changing data can quickly turn a data lake into a data swamp.

Up to the Minute: The Need for Rapid Adoption of Streaming Data

As Internet of Things (IoT) technologies become more common and web data grows in volume, there is growing evidence that the ability to analyze continuous data is not only valuable but necessary. In fact, those with the ability to capture and analyze massive numbers of independent continuous data streams will have a powerful capability that will help them to power operational intelligence and predictive analytics. A growing number of applications increasingly rely on fast analysis, but tomorrow’s world will be even more dependent on up-to-the-minute consumption of data streams.
