9. • Ability to ingest vast amounts of data
• Ability to handle a wide variety of formats
(streaming, files, custom)
• Ability to handle wide variety of sources
• Capture operational metadata implicitly
as new data arrives
• Build in repeatability through automation to pick up
incoming data and apply pre-defined processing

10. • Reduced time to insight for analytics
• File and record level watermarking provides data lineage
Capture metadata to improve data visibility and reliability
Type of Metadata Description Example
Technical Captures the form and structure
of each data set
Type of data (text, JSON, Avro), structure
of the data (fields and their types)
Operational Captures lineage, quality, profile
and provenance of the data
Source and target locations of data, size,
number of records, lineage
Business Captures what it all means to the
user
Business names, descriptions, tags,
quality and masking rules

• Interactive data preparation to address errors, corrupted formats, duplicates
• Data enrichment to go from raw to refined
• Self service to prepare data without IT request/SQL knowledge

12. • Data lakes enable multiple groups to share access
to centrally stored data
• Differing permissions require enhanced data security
§ Mask or tokenize data before published in the lake for
consumption
§ Policy-based security
• Metadata management enables audit and traceability
• End result: more open and democratized access to
data in the lake for those with permission
Protect sensitive data
