Most commonly, we think of data as numbers that show information such as sales figures, marketing data, payroll totals, financial statistics, and other data that can be counted and measured objectively. This is quantitative data. It’s “hard,” structured data that answers questions such as “how many?”

Data Swamp vs Data Lake. When you imagine a lake, it’s likely an idyllic image of a tree-ringed body of reflective water amid singing birds and dabbling ducks. I’ll take the lake, thank you very much. Many organizations have built a data lake to solve their data storage, access, and utilization challenges.

By changing the cost structure of collecting data, it increased the volume of data stored in every organization. Additionally, Hadoop removed the requirement to model or structure data when writing to a physical store. The result, as many industry observers have put it, is that many data lakes become data swamps.

By some estimates, unstructured data can make up to 80–90% of all new enterprise data and is growing many times faster than structured data. After decades of digitizing everything in your enterprise, you may have an enormous amount of data, but with dormant value. These services write the output to a data lake.
