Comparison between Big Data and Data Lakes , difference and similarities


Can someone tell me the similarities and differences between Big data and Data Lakes.

Can't find a satisfactory answer anywhere.


Solution

  • I think, We can't compare and differentiate both of them terminology because data lake is synonyms of the big data. Data lake = Enterprise data+ unstructured data + semi structure data.

    Other hand it's data repository you can store any kind of data and used for analysis purpose. Mostly data will be stored in Hadoop FileSystem (HDFS), where as under "big data", there is storage & some other processing technology involved.
