Summary
First of all, a pat on your back for coming this far. We have completed the technologies that we are going to use in our Data Lake’s first layer namely Data Acquisition Layer. Even though we have covered just two technologies (we willn't say we have covered these topic in depth but we have covered these in some breath and in alignment with our use case implementation) we have covered fair distance in our journey to implement Data Lake for your enterprise.
In this chapter, similar to other chapters in this part, we first set our context by seeing where exactly this technology will be placed in the overall Data Lake architecture. We then gave enough details on why we chose Apache Flume as the technology for handling stream data from source systems.
After that we went deep into Apache Flume and start learning main concepts and working of Flume. We then looked at a full-fledged working example of Flume, in line with our use case of SCV. Before wrapping up we did put in bullet points, when...
