Historyīefore going into definition, let's look into the history. So what exactly is a Data Lakehouse? Good question - we'll get back to that later. So, Snowflake's reluctance about the term Data Lakehouse is more about branding, not about the technology. Snowflake therefore means they are the "original Data Lakehouse", although they call their technology Data Cloud instead. In fact, it was one of Snowflakes' customers, Jellyvision, that coined the term Data Lakehouse in 2017 to describe the Snowflake platform. Snowflake argues that the Data Lakehouse is nothing new, but what they already have been supporting for years with their platform. Not everyone is a fan of the term Data Lakehouse though. "I believe the lakehouse is going to unlock the data that is there and gonna present opportunities like we've never seen before." That is very heavy support, because no doubt Bill Inmon is still a thought leader within Data Management. During a talk at Databricks' Data + AI Summit 2021, he said that Data Lakehouses will "present opportunities like we've never seen before". What really is a Data Lakehouse and does it really represent anything new?īill Inmon is named by Computerworld as one of the ten people that most influenced the first 40 years of computer industry and he is known as "the father of the data warehouse". The term is a combination of "Data Lake" and "Data Warehouse".
During the past 1-2 years, there has been a lot of excitement around Data Lakehouses (or Data Lake Houses).
