Part 3 - Bringing It All Together
This part of the books brings together technical components from part one and two of this book to give you a holistic picture of Data Lakes. We will bring in additional concepts and technologies in a brief fashion, so that you can explore those aspects in more detail according to your enterprise requirements. Again, delving deep into the technologies covered in this chapter is out of the scope of this book. But we want you to be aware of these additional technologies and how they can be brought into our Data Lake implementation if the need arises. It consists of two chapters, and each chapter has a goal well defined to be achieved, as detailed below.
Chapter 11, Data Lake Components Working Together, after introducing reader into Data Lake, Lambda Architecture, various technologies, this chapter brings the whole puzzle together and brings in a holistic picture to the reader. The reader at this stage should feel accomplished and can take in the codebase as is into the organization and show it working. In this chapter, the reader, would realize how to integrate various aspects of Data Lake to implement a fully functional Data Lake. The reader will also realize the completeness of Data Lake with working examples that would combine all the learnings from previous chapters into a running implementation.
Chapter 12, Data Lake Use Case Suggestions, throughout the book the reader is taken through a use case in the form of “Single Customer View”; however while going through the book, there are other use cases in pipeline relevant to their organization which reader can start thinking. This provoking of thought deepens into bit more during this chapter. The reader will understand and realize various use cases that can reap great benefits from a Data Lake and help optimize their cost of ownership, operations, reactiveness and help these uses with required intelligence derived from data. The reader, in this chapter, will also realize the variety of these use cases and the extents to which an enterprise Data Lake can be helpful for each of these use cases.
