Active Data Lakes: Regaining Physical Data Independence Without Losing Interoperability
Summary: Proposes Active Data Lakes to restore physical data independence in data lakes without sacrificing cross-engine interoperability. Key idea: decouple engines from Parquet-centric storage via an architecture that supports novel file formats, access paths, and media, validated by three prototype optimizations.
