"Data lake", "data lakehouse"...

Who comes up with these weird names for patterns. What the heck is "lake" supposed to invoke.

Yeah, terms are confusing sometimes! "Data lakehouse" is weirdly enough a "technical term". The canonical reference is from CIDR https://www.cidrdb.org/cidr2021/papers/cidr2021_paper17.pdf, but we have our own version from VLDB https://arxiv.org/pdf/2308.05368
