| > Frankly the argument "they shouldn't need to query the data in their system" is kind of silly. Neutral party here: that's not what they said. A) Quotes shouldn't be there. B) Heuristic I've started applying to my comments: if I'm tempted to "quote" something that isn't a quote, it means I don't fully understand what they mean and should ask a question. This dovetails nicely with the spirit of HN's "come with curiosity" It is disquieting because: A) This are very much ill-defined terms (what, exactly, is data lake, vs. data warehouse, vs. database?), and as far as I've had to understand this stuff, and a quick spot check of Google shows, it's about making it so you're accumulating more data in one place. B) This is antithetical to a consumer's desired approach to data, which will described parodically as: stored individually, on one computer, behind 3 locked doors and 20 layers of encryption. |
