Читать книгу Data Lakes For Dummies - Alan R. Simon - Страница 58

Your road map is only the beginning of your data lake journey. You may think you have a pretty good idea of what your data and analytical needs are over the next couple of years, and you do a good job of prioritizing the various phases of how your data lake will be built.

The world is constantly changing, though, which means that the farther out your data lake road map stretches, the more likely it is that any given phase will be preempted by changing priorities and new analytical needs.

As your organization’s analytical needs evolve and — hopefully — become more sophisticated over time, you’ll continually adjust your data lake plans to reflect the real world.

Think of a data lake as a living entity that is subject to constant change. Remember that century-long life span of a U.S. Air Force B-52, with changing missions over the years being addressed by constantly incorporating new technology to extend the plane’s value.
