Challenges in implementing a Data Lake
Having understood the key benefits of a Data Lake, we will now look at the challenges involved in implementing a Data Lake.
A Data Lake is a complex solution as there are many layers involved in building it and each layer utilizes a lot of Big Data tools and technologies to accomplish its functionality. This requires a lot of effort in terms of deployment, administration, and maintenance.
Another important aspect is data governance; as the Data Lake is aimed at bringing in all of the organization's data together, it should be built with enough governance so that it does not turn into a group of unrelated data silos.
