Abstract

The data lakehouse architecture represents a transformative evolution in data management, addressing critical limitations in traditional big data architectures. This paradigm combines data lake flexibility with data warehouse capabilities, creating a unified platform that eliminates redundant data copies and streamlines processing workflows. By implementing a layered structure—encompassing storage, metadata, catalog, semantic and query optimization components—the lakehouse provides comprehensive support for diverse analytical workloads while maintaining centralized governance. The architecture leverages open file formats, table specifications, and standardized interfaces to enable ACID transactions, time travel capabilities, and efficient query optimization directly on data lake storage. Organizations adopting this architecture can realize significant benefits including cost efficiency through reduced duplication, enhanced analytical flexibility across workload types, improved governance through centralized policies, and strategic advantages from vendor neutrality. The data lakehouse represents not merely an incremental improvement but a fundamental reconceptualization of enterprise data architecture that balances analytical power with operational efficiency.
