Data Lake Construction and Continuous Operations

Scenario

To ensure fast data lake building and easy daily management of mass metadata and permissions, customers need convenient and efficient methods.

Shortcomings of Traditional Methods

  • You can only execute SQL statements in compute engines (such as Hive and Spark) to define, modify, and query metadata. This requires certain skills. In addition, GUI is not supported, resulting in poor usability.
  • If an authorization is required, both the compute engine and OBS need to be authorized, which is inconvenient.

Advantages of LakeFormation

  • One-stop visualized lakehouse construction: A GUI is provided for unified metadata definition and authorization, ensuring fast data lake construction by simplifying operations.
  • Associated authorization: During metadata authorization, the file directory mapped to the metadata can be automatically authorized, which is convenient and efficient.
  • Fine-grained access control: LakeFormation implements fine-grained access control on metadata in databases, tables, and columns, ensuring transaction data security.
