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.
