> providing analytics and a database type experience over a data lake.

It's interesting how the modern data lake is developing in this way, recreating many patterns from the traditional database for distributed systems and massive scale: SQL and query optimization, transactions and time travel, schema evolution and data constraints...

Having started out as a database developer / DBA many years ago, working with data lakes today reminds me in many ways of that early part of my career.

I wrote a post tracing a common interface from the typical relational database to the modern data lake.
