Building Scalable and Efficient Data Lakes with Apache Hudi

If you're looking to build a scalable and efficient data lake that can support both batch and real-time processing, Apache Hudi is a great tool to consider. In this blog post, we'll discuss what Apache Hudi is, how it works, and why it's a powerful tool for building data lakes.

Apache Hudi is an open-source data management framework that provides several features to manage big data. It provides the ability to perform read and write operations on large datasets in real-time, while also supporting batch processing. With Hudi, you can also ensure data quality by performing data validation, data cleansing, and data profiling.



One of the key advantages of Apache Hudi is its support for schema evolution. This means that as your data changes over time, Hudi can automatically update the schema of your data to accommodate these changes, without requiring any downtime or manual intervention.


Another advantage of Hudi is its support for scalable and fault-tolerant data storage. Hudi provides several storage options, including Apache Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS), cloud object stores like Amazon S3, and distributed databases like Apache Cassandra. Hudi's storage layer is also designed to be fault-tolerant, ensuring that your data is safe even in the event of hardware or software failures.


To get started with Apache Hudi, you can download it from the Apache Hudi website and start exploring its features. You can also find tutorials and documentation on the website to help you get up and running quickly.


In summary, Apache Hudi is a powerful tool for building scalable and efficient data lakes that can support both batch and real-time processing. Its support for data validation, schema evolution, and fault-tolerant storage makes it an excellent choice for organizations that need to manage large volumes of data. So, if you're looking to build a data lake, consider using Apache Hudi to help you achieve your goals.

Top 25 Data Engineer Interview Questions

In my last post  How to prepare for Data Engineer Interviews ,  I wrote about how one can prepare for the Data Engineer Interviews, and in this blog post, I am going to provide the  Top 25 Basic   data engineer interview questions  asked frequently and their brief answers. This is typically the first round of the Interview where the interviewer just wants to access whether you are aware of basic concepts or not and therefore you don't need to explain it in detail. Just a single statement would be sufficient. Let's get started Checkout the 5 Key Skills Data Engineers need in 2023 A. Programming  1. What is the Static method in Python? Static methods are the methods that are bound to the  Class  rather than the Class's Object. Thus, it can be called without creating objects of the class. We can just call it using the reference of the class. Also, all the objects of the class share only one copy of the static method. 2. What is a Decorator in Python?...
