In this episode, Daniel Graham dissects the capabilities of data lakes and compares it to data warehouses. He talks about the primary use cases of data lakes and how they are vital for big data ecosystems. He then goes on to explain the role of data warehouses which are still responsible for timely and accurate data but don't have a central role anymore. In the end, both Wayne Eckerson and Dan Graham settle on a common definition for modern data architectures.
