I am working on a story for SearchDataManagement looking at what
data fabrics mean for data lakes. I am looking for sources that
can weigh in on the following question via email. Note the
deadline is just the deadline for identifying sources. I have a
bit more time on this, especially for end users.
-What have been some of the limitations of traditional data lake
architectures, particularly those relevant to thinking about the
benefits of data fabrics? -What are some of the most important
ways they can make it easier to reuse data across different
analytics and applications? -How would you break down the
different types of approaches to using data fabrics to improve
data lakes and the pros and cons of each approach? -What are
some of the top new benefits data lakes can provide as a result
of data fabrics?
Also, I am looking for users to weigh in on the following:
-What's one important use case you have worked on where you were
able to improve the value of a data lake using a data fabric.
Could you elaborate on what was involved in setting it up, some
of the challenges you encountered, benefits, and lessons you
learned along the way? -How do you use a data fabric to model
data in a way that's useful for different use cases? How does
thinking about using the data fabric to create a semantic model
of the data change based on the type of use case?
Thanks in advance, George
