In this lecture, let’s compare popular data formats for storing your data in a data lake and tools that you can use for format conversion.

You will gain insight into Row and Columnar storage formats and popular storage formats like CSV, TSV, JSON, Parquet, ORC, and Avro.

We will review popular approaches for format conversion using EMR Hive, Spark, Glue ETL.

In-Place Analytics and Portfolio of Tools Preview 05:02

One of the exciting capabilities of S3 based data lake architecture is in-place querying.

You can directly run SQL queries on your data stored in S3 without having to load in a database or data warehouse.

We will review Athena and Redshift Spectrum for in-place querying.

For streaming data, we will Kinesis Data Analytics

Your data lake needs to be flexible to support a wide variety of current and future tools.

Here is the thing, S3 is one of the most popular products in the cloud, and a lot of tools natively support S3.

We will review EMR Hadoop based tools like Hive, Spark, SageMaker Machine Learning, AWS Artificial Intelligence Services, QuickSight Business Intelligence Service, Redshift Data Warehouse and Lambda.
