As more organizations have come to rely on big data, the data lake has held the promise of a flexible, scalable, integration point.

Unfortunately, this very “flexibility” has made it easy to “pollute” the data lake with duplicate, stale, incomplete, and even wrong data.

As a result, there is more data overall, but less reliability in its value. Add to this a lack of organization, governance, and security, and data lakes become a barrier to analytics and operations that rely on the data.

Fortunately, your investment in a data lake doesn’t need to be considered a waste.

In this O’Reilly webcast, Damon Feldman, solutions director at MarkLogic, will discuss how an operational data hub can be combined with the data lake — maintaining the agile, flexible functions that are characteristic of a lake, with the added ability for fast, secure, governed data access.

Learn how an operational data hub can utilize a Hadoop-friendly, multi-model database, without reducing it to relational structures and applying ETL transformations.

Learn how to:

• Facilitate progressive transformation and mastering of data as operational data needs change.
• Provide real-time, operational data access through strong indexing
• Make sense of the data lake — in an iterative fashion.
• React to events that occur in the data hub, such as updates to mastered data elements.
• Secure a portion of a data lake’s data in a data hub, to conform to internal security policies and regulatory
