THE FUTURE OF DATA: PROVISIONING ANALYTICS-READY DATA AT SPEEDwebwinkelvakdag
Data lakes & data warehouses, whether on-premises or in the cloud promise to provide a centralized, cost-effective and scalable foundation for modern analytics. However, organisations continue to struggle to deliver accurate, current and analytics-ready data sets in a timely fashion. Traditional ingestion tools weren’t designed to handle hundreds or even thousands of data sources and the lack of lineage forces data consumers to manually aggregate information from sources they trust. In this session, you’ll learn how to future-proof your modern data environment to meet the needs of the business for the long term. We'll examine how to overcome common challenges, the related must-have technology solutions in the data lake/ data warehousing world, using real-world success stories and even a few architecture tips from industry experts.
Meaning making – separating signal from noise. How do we transform the customer's next input into an action that creates a positive customer experience? We make the data more intelligent, so that it is able to guide our actions. The Data Lake builds on Big Data strengths by automating many of the manual development tasks, providing several self-service features to end-users, and an intelligent management layer to organize it all. This results in lower cost to create solutions, "smart" analytics, and faster time to business value.

Data-As-A-Service to enable compliance reportingAnalyticsWeek
Big Data tools are clearly very powerful & flexible while dealing with unstructured information. However, they are equally applicable, especially when combined with columnar stores such as parquet, to address rapidly changing regulatory requirements that involve reporting & analyzing data across multiple silos of structured information. This is an example of applying multiple big data tools to create data-as-a-service that brings together a data hub, and enable very high performance analytics & reporting leveraging a combination of HDFS, Spark, Cassandra, Parquet, Talend and Jasper. In this talk, we will discuss the architecture, challenges & opportunities of designing data-as-a-Service that enables businesses to respond to changing regulatory & compliance requirements.

Modern Integrated Data Environment - Whitepaper | QuboleVasu S
A whit-paper is about building a modern data platform for data driven organisations with using cloud data warehouse with modern data platform architecture
https://www.qubole.com/resources/white-papers/modern-integrated-data-environment
Presentation from Data Science Conference 2.0 held in Belgrade, Serbia. The focus of the talk was to address the challenges of deploying a Data Lake infrastructure within the organization.
The main idea of a Data Lake is to expose the company data in an agile and flexible way to the people within the company, but preserve safeguard and auditing features that are required for the company’s critical data. The way that most projects in this direction start out is by depositing all of the data in Hadoop, trying to infer the schema on top of the data and then use the data for analytics purposes via Hive or Spark. Described stack is a really good approach for many use cases, as it provides cheaply storing data in files and rich analytics on top. But many pitfalls and problems might show up on this road, which can be easily met by extending the toolset. The potential bottlenecks will be displayed as soon as the users arrive and start exploiting the Lake. From all of these reasons, planning and building a Data Lake within an organization requires strategic approach, in order to build an architecture that can support it.

Levelwise PageRank with Loop-Based Dead End Handling Strategy : SHORT REPORT ...Subhajit Sahu
Abstract — Levelwise PageRank is an alternative method of PageRank computation which decomposes the input graph into a directed acyclic block-graph of strongly connected components, and processes them in topological order, one level at a time. This enables calculation for ranks in a distributed fashion without per-iteration communication, unlike the standard method where all vertices are processed in each iteration. It however comes with a precondition of the absence of dead ends in the input graph. Here, the native non-distributed performance of Levelwise PageRank was compared against Monolithic PageRank on a CPU as well as a GPU. To ensure a fair comparison, Monolithic PageRank was also performed on a graph where vertices were split by components. Results indicate that Levelwise PageRank is about as fast as Monolithic PageRank on the CPU, but quite a bit slower on the GPU. Slowdown on the GPU is likely caused by a large submission of small workloads, and expected to be non-issue when the computation is performed on massive graphs.

3. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Data can be traced from various consumer sources.
Managing data is one of the most serious challenges faced
by organizations today. Organizations are adopting the data
lake models because lakes provide raw data that users can
use for data experimentation and advanced analytics.
A data lake could be a merging point of new and historic
data, thereby drawing correlations across all data using
advanced analytics. A data lake can support the self-service
data practices. This can tap undiscovered business value
from various new as well as existing data sources.
Furthermore, a data lake can aid data warehousing,
analytics, data integration by modernizing. However, lakes
also face hindrances like immature governance, user skills
and security.
One among four organizations already have at least one
data lake in production. Another quarter will embrace
production in a year. At this rate analyst not only expect this
trend to last long but also forecast it to speed up
incorporation of innovative data generating technologies in
practice. 79% of users having a lake state that most of the
data is raw with some portion for structured data, and those
portions will grow as they comprehend the lake better.
Managing data is one of the most serious challenges faced
by organizations today. The storage systems need to be
managed individually, thus, making infrastructure and
processes more complex to operate and expensive to
maintain. In addition to storage challenges, organizations
also face many complex issues such as limited scalability,
storage inadequacies, storage migrations, high operational
costs, rising management complication and storage tiring
concerns.
There are two major types of data lakes based on data
platform. Hadoop-based data lakes and relational data lakes.
Hadoop is more usual than relational databases. However,
data lake spans both. The platforms may be on premises, on
clouds, or both. Thus, some data lakes are multiplatform as
well as hybrid.
Though adopting and working on traditional technologies like
data mining and data warehousing is important, it is equally
important to adopt modern capabilities that not only makes it
more evolved but efficient as well. As organizations need to
solve challenges at a faster pace, the need has shifted to
adopt hybrid methods to explore, discuss and present the
data management scenarios. In the present day industries,
ideas like data lake to ease data sharing have erupted, but
with traditional methods like data warehousing the scope for
growth is limited.
A data lake receives data from multiple sources in an
enterprise to store and analyze the raw data in its native
format. In an industry, data lake can handle data ranging
from structured data such as demographic data or semi-
structured data such as pdfs, notes, files to completely
unstructured data such as videos and images. Using data
lake, organizations can dive into possibilities yet to be
explored by enabling data management technology to avoid
the functional shortcomings. With the advancements in data
science, artificial intelligence and machine learning, a data
lake could assist with various efficient working models for
this industry, industry related personnel as well as
specialized capabilities like predictive analysis for future
enhancement.
Although data lake is new face and seems to be in a
primitive state, many industry giants like Amazon, Google
etc. have worked on it. They have processed data in a faster
and reliable manner creating a balanced value chain. For its
deployment, administration, and maintenance, lot of efforts
has to be instilled. As it is a pool of data from various
organization, it has to governed, secured and be scalable at
the same time to avoid it being a dump of unrelated data
silos.
This white paper will present the opportunities laid down by
data lake and advanced analytics, as well as, the challenges
in integrating, mining and analyzing the data collected from
these sources. It goes over the important characteristics of
the data lake architecture and Data and Analytics as a
Service (DAaaS) model. It also delves into the features of a
successful data lake and its optimal designing. It goes over
data, applications, and analytics that are strung together to
speed-up the insight brewing process for industry’s
improvements with the help of a powerful architecture for
mining and analyzing unstructured data – data lake.

5. A data lake is a centralized data repository that
can store a multitude of data ranging from
structured or semi-structured data to completely
unstructured data. Data lake provides a scalable
storage to handle a growing amount of data and
provides agility to deliver insights faster. A data
lake can store securely any type of data
regardless of volume or format with an unlimited
capability to scale and provides a faster way to
analyze datasets than traditional methods.
A data lake provides fluid data management
fulfilling the requirements of an industry as they
try to rapidly analyze huge volumes of data from
a wide range of formats and extensive sources
in real-time.
A data lake has flat architecture to store data
and schema-on-read access across huge
amounts of information that can be accessed
rapidly. The lake resides in a Hadoop system
mostly in the original structure with no content
integration or modification of the base data. This
helps skilled data scientists to draw insights on
data patterns, disease trends, data abuse,
insurance fraud risk, cost, and improved
outcomes and engagement and many more.
A data lake gives structure to an entity by pulling
out data from all possible sources into a
legitimate and meaningful assimilation. Adopting
data lake, means developing a unified data
model, explicitly working around the existing
system without impacting the business
applications, alongside solving specific business
problems.
However, with every opportunity comes a
challenge. The concept of “Data Lake” is
challenging, the attributing reasons being
• Entities have several linkages across the
enterprise infrastructure and functionality. This
leads to non-existence of a singular
independent model for entities.
• It contains all data, both structured and
unstructured, which enterprise practices might
not support or have the techniques to support.
• It enables users across different units of
enterprise to process, explore and augment data
based on the terms of their specific business
models. Various implementations might have
multiple access practices and storage construct
for all entities
Technology should be able to let organizations
acquire, store, combine, and enrich huge
volumes of unstructured and structured data in
raw format and have the potential to perform
analytics on these huge data in an iterative way.
Data lake may not be a complete shift but rather
an additional method to aid the existing methods
like big data, data warehouse etc. to mine all of
the scattered data across a multitude of sources
opening new gateway to new insights.
THE NEED OF DATA LAKE
www.scalabledigital.com
6. Having understood the need for the data lake and
the business/technology context of its evolution,
important benefits in the following list:
• Scalability: The Hadoop is a framework that
helps in the balanced processing of huge data
sets across clusters of systems using simple
models. It scales up from single server to
thousands, offering local computation and
storage at each node.
Hadoop supports huge clusters maintaining a
constant price per execution bereft of scaling. To
accommodate more one just has to plug in a new
cluster. Hadoop runs the code close to storage
getting massive data sets processed faster.
Hadoop enables data storage from disparate
sources like multimedia, binary, XML and so on.
• High-velocity Data: The data lake uses tools like
Kafka, Flume, Scribe, and Chukwa to acquire
high-velocity data and queue it efficiently.
Further they try to integrate with large volumes
of historical data.
• Structure: The data lake presents a unique
arena where structure like metadata, speech
tagging etc. can be applied on varied datasets
in the same storage with intrinsic detail. This
enables to process the combinatorial data in
advanced analytic scope.
• Storage: The data lake provides iterative and
immediate access to the raw data without pre-
modelling. This offers flexibility to ask questions
and seek enhances analytical insights.
• Schema: The data lake is schema less write
and schema-based read in the data storage
front. This helps to develop up to date patterns
from the data to grasp applicable intelligent
insights without being dependent on the data.
• SQL: Pre-existing PL-SQL scripts could be
reused once the data is stored in the SQL
storage of the data lake. The tools like HAWQ
and IMPALA gives flexibility to process huge
parallel SQL queries while working in parallel
with algorithm libraries like MADLib and SAS
applications. Performing the SQL takes less
time and also consumes less resources inside
the data lake than performing outside.
• Advanced Algorithms: The data lake is
proficient at using the large amount of
understandable data along with advanced
algorithms to acknowledge article of interest to
power up decision making algorithms.
• Administrative Resources: The data lake
reduces the administrative resources needed
for congregating, transforming, drawing, and
analyzing data.

Data Lake Data Warehouse
A data lake can store structured, semi-
structured as well as unstructured data
Data warehouse only accommodates structured
data that is given in a particular model
Data lake contains relevant data, easy to access
and provides operational back-up to the
enterprise
Data warehouse stores data for longer period of
time which can be accessed on demand
In a data lake, data doesn’t need to be modeled
and only raw data needs to be loaded and used
Data in data warehouse needs to be modeled
before processing data and loading it
Data lake has enough processing power to
analyze and process data being accessed
Data warehouse only processes structured data
into a reporting model for reporting and analytics.
Data lake is easy to reconfigure Data warehouse structure is difficult to reconfigure
because the data is highly structured
Data lake costs less to store data, doesn’t need
licensing and is built on Hadoop, an open
source framework
With data warehouse, optimization is time
consuming and is costly. This works well with pre-
existing modeled data but falls flat for new data.
In data lake, data availability can be easily
spotted and integrated for a requirement. Back
tracking of data and data management are
available and easy to implement.
With data warehouse, data availability is tough to
spot and integrate for a particular requirement.
Back tracking of data and data management are
unavailable and cumbersome to implement.
Manual creation of root data is error prone and
time consuming.
James Dixon’s idea of a new architecture known as
‘Data Lake’ developed in 2010, gained quite a bit of
momentum and captivated numerous data driven
industries. It is easily accessible and can store
anything and everything indifferent of its type,
structure etc.
Data lake and data warehouse have different but
valuable characteristics to offer to an enterprise
together.
Clearly data lake and data warehouse are
complementary to each other in an/the enterprise.
Data lake should not be seen as a replacement for
a data warehouse as they are unique in their own
way, having distinct roles in the industry.
The major differences between a Data lake and a
traditional data warehouse are:
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN DATA LAKE AND DATA WAREHOUSE?
9. Data lake supports multiple reporting tools and
has self sufficient capacity. It helps elevate the
performance as it can traverse huge new datasets
without heavy modeling. –Flexibility. It supports
advanced analytics like predictive analytics and
text analytics. This further allows users to process
the data to track history to maintain data
compliance. - Quality. Data lakes allows users to
search and experiment on structured, semi
structured, unstructured, internal, and external
data from variable sources from one secure view
point. - Findability and Timeliness.
There are many challenges to overcome by data
warehouse. The solution that suffices all of the
gaps is the data lake. This helps to secure the
data and work on the data, run analytics, visualize
and report on it. The characteristics of a stable
data lake are as follows:
• Use of Multiple Tools and Products:
Extracting maximum value out of the data lake
requires customized management and
integration that are currently unavailable from
any single open-source platform or commercial
product vendor. The cross-engine integration
necessary for a successful data lake requires
multiple technology stacks that natively support
structured, semi-structured, and unstructured
data types.
• Domain Specification: The data lake must be
tailored to the specific industry. A data lake
customized for biomedical research would be
significantly different from one tailored to
financial services. The data lake requires a
business-aware data-locating capability that
enables business users to find, explore,
understand, and trust the data. This search
capability needs to provide an intuitive means
for navigation, including key word, faceted, and
graphical search. Under the covers, such a
capability requires sophisticated business
ontologies, within which business terminology
can be mapped to the physical data. The tools
used should enable independence from IT so
that business users can obtain the data they
need when they need it and can analyze it as
necessary, without IT intervention.
• Automated Metadata Management: The data
lake concept relies on capturing a robust set of
attributes for every piece of content within the
lake. Attributes like data lineage, data quality,
and usage history are vital to usability.
Maintaining this metadata requires a highly-
automated metadata extraction, capture, and
tracking facility. Without a high-degree of
automated and mandatory metadata
management, a data lake will rapidly become a
data swamp.
• Configurable Ingestion Workflows: In a
thriving data lake, new sources of external
information will be continually discovered by
business users. These new sources need to be
rapidly on-boarded to avoid frustration and to
realize immediate opportunities. A
configuration-driven, ingestion workflow
mechanism can provide a high level of reuse,
enabling easy, secure, and trackable content
ingestion from new sources.
• Integrate with the Existing Environment: The
data lake needs to meld into and support the
existing enterprise data management
paradigms, tools, and methods. It needs a
supervisor that integrates and manages, when
required, existing data management tools, such
as data profiling, data mastering and cleansing,
and data masking technologies.

organizations will have an
advantage who can derive
insights faster from their data.

Data lake architecture should be flexible and
organization specific. It relies around a
comprehensive understanding of the technical
requirements with sound business skills to
customize and integrate the architecture.
Industries would prefer to build the data lake
customized to their need in terms of the
business, processes and systems.
An evolved way to build a data lake would be to
build an enterprise model taking few factors into
consideration like, organization’s information
systems and the data ownership. It might take
effort but provides flexibility, control, data
definition clarity and partition of entities in an
organization. Data lake’s self-dependent
mechanisms to create process cycle to serve
enterprise data, help them in consuming
applications.
The data lake as composed of three layers and
tiers. Layers are the common functionality that
cut across all the tiers. These layers are:
• Data Governance and Security Layer
• Metadata Layer
• Information Lifecycle Management Layer
Tiers are abstractions for a similar functionality
grouped together for the ease of understanding.
Data flows sequentially through each tier. While
the data moves from tier to tier, the layers do
their bit of processing on the moving data. The
following are the three tiers:
• Intake Tier
• Management Tier
• Consumption Tier
One major architecture defining data lake
architecture is the Lambda architecture pattern.
This architecture makes the data lake fault
tolerant, data immutable and helps in re-
computation.
The CAP theorem, also named as Brewer's
theorem, states that a distributed data store
cannot simultaneously provide more than two
out of the following three:
• Consistency
• Availability
• Partition tolerance.
The data lake with Lambda Architecture’s aid,
works with the CAP theorem on a contextual
basis. The three major contributions of the CAP
theorem are Consistency, Availability and
Partition tolerance. Usually availability is chosen
over consistency because consistency can be
achieved eventually. If not most data goes with
approximations.
DATA LAKE ARCHITECTURE
12. www.scalabledigital.com
DAaaS (Data Analytics-as-a-Service) is a
protractible platform. It uses a cloud-based
delivery model. It provides a wide range of
tools to select from for data analytics that can
be designed by the user to process large
amounts of data effectively. Enterprise data is
ingested into the platform. Further the data is
processed by analytics applications. This
could provide business insight using
advanced analytical algorithms and machine
learning
As per researchers, experts and data
enthusiasts, the “Data Lake” to “a successful
Data and Analytics” transformation needs the
following:
• DAaaS Strategy Service Definition: Our

14. Data Governance is discipline that is enforced on
data by an organization as it moves from input to
output, making sure that it is not rigged in any way
that is risky. To meet the strategic goals, an
organization has to convert ingested data into
intelligence on a fast pace and accurate basis. It
strengthens the decision making process since the
data is adhering to certain quality standards. This
has a huge effect in enhancing the final value of
data, enabling optimal performance planning by
data management staff and minimizing rework.
Data Governance deals with processes to lay
down the technology architecture to help store and
manage mass data. Further, Data Governance
deals with the right security policy of the data as it
is being acquired and as it flows through the
enterprise. While the data is worked upon to derive
a new form, Data governance assures the integrity
and accuracy is not meddled with. To maintain and
prevent shortage of storage space, data past its
usage date is moved to tape storage or is
defensively destroyed. This process is owned by
Information Lifecycle Management policies, a
subset of Data Governance processes.
Organization without a strong Data Governance
process end up jeopardizing the caliber of analytics
and decisions deduced from it. This exposes the
organization to a substantial risk. On the other
hand, organizations having a strong built Data
Governance processes have arrangements to
improve Data Security with intrinsic authentication
and authorization in place. In addition, they also
have data loss guarding systems.
The basic components of Data Governance that
cuts across the Data Intake, management, and
consumption tiers of the Data Lake are:
• Metadata management
• Lineage tracking
• Data Security and privacy
• Information Lifecycle Management components

15. The Data Lake deals with the storage,
management, and analytical aspects related with
the facets of Big Data. Monitoring the Big Data
using the Data Lake adhering to the existing data
governance methods to deal with Big Data and
also cut a space for expansion of emerging
trends.
In the future, it is expected that organizations' data
analytics methodologies would evolve to fetch the
following abilities:
• The demand for extreme high-speed insights
• The growth of Internet of Things
• The adoption of cloud technologies
• The evolution of deep learning.
Deep learning is typically used to solve some of
the intractable problems of Big Data as follows:
• Semantic indexing
• Classifying unlabeled text
• Data tagging
• Entity recognition and natural language
processing
• Image classification and computer vision
• Fast information retrieval
• Speech recognition
• Simplifying discriminative tasks
Data Lake possesses the optimal balance to
enable organizations to tap the real benefits of
advanced analytics and Deep Learning methods.
The Data Lake property to store data in a schema
less way is immensely useful for the methods to
extract unstructured data representations. Data
Lake also has the ability to whisk complicated
high end deep learning algorithms on elevated-
dimensional and streaming data.
FUTURE OF DATA LAKE
www.scalabledigital.com
16. Data lakes with advanced analytics are
reshaping the way enterprises work. Future with
data lakes looks very promising. System
developers are immersed in vigorous R&D for
such technology advancement for better
analysis and detail oriented search. It could be
useful for industries by providing better
efficiency and outcomes.
To be at an advantage, industry will have to use
the power of data lake driven processes and
systems. If fathomed intuitively, it could change
the way services is being delivered.
Presently, data lake practices are governed by
Hadoop predominantly. Hadoop has become
the major tool for assimilating and pulling out
insights from combinatorial unstructured data
present in Hadoop and enterprise data assets,
running algorithms in batch mode using the
MapReduce paradigm. Hadoop, with the
existing enterprise data assets such as data in
mainframes and data warehouses. Languages
such as Pig, Java Map Reduce, SQL variants, R,
Hadoop, Apache Spark, and Python are being
increasingly used for data munging, data
integration, data cleansing, and running
distributed analytics algorithms.
There is more to consider with details including:
big data architecture for accessible Data Lake
infrastructure, data lake functionality, solving
data accessibility and integration at enterprise
level, data flows in the data lake, and many
more. With these numerous queries, there still
is resources to tap and a lot to gain for the
enterprise. Using the data lake architecture to
derive cost efficient, life-changing insights from
the huge mass of data nullifies the concern
regarding going further with the ice-berg hidden
under the ocean.
