The Data Lakehouse The Data Lakehouse ExplainedExplained
This comprehensive guide explains the concept of a data lakehouse, a hybrid model combining data lakes and data warehouses. The data lakehouse is a semantic layer that enables operational reporting, ad hoc queries, and other workloads on top of a data lake, which stores data in an object storage service.

However, it faces challenges in enforcing consistency and managing concurrent operations, which are critical for replacing data warehouses.
