The term “Data Lake” has continued to evolve and gain momentum. Data Lakes are the new kids on the block with respect to Big Data management and a stark contrast to traditional Data Warehouse solutions businesses have been employing since the 1980s. Recently this contrast, to say the least, has had several narratives: good versus evil, wrong side of history, etc. Which side you’re on depends on many factors.

What makes technology a true “trend,” and what makes a new trend supersede the next, typically follow a similar path: Hype, Belief, Adaption, Duration. History has shown that many of the more notable trends had a tough go of it before general acceptance was achieved. In other words, megatrends (life-changing) such as “Cloud” and “Big Data” had many a tsunami of data.
