Data Hub and data lake are two approaches to data management that have prompted strong opinions in the past, with proponents of each approach stating their techniques to be the superior choice for handling big data. But although both techniques share many similarities, there are fundamental differences between them, which can help businesses decide on the most appropriate approach for their needs.

Data Lake
Data Lake is a data source that’s used to store data, and it can be used to store any type of data, including structured, unstructured, and semi-structured.
In addition to storing the raw data in its native form, you can also use the Data Lake as a repository for backups and restores of your databases or files on HDFS.
You can use Spark Streaming or Spark SQL with Data Lake, which means you can process large amounts of data without having to move them into another system first (like Hive) before processing them or doing analytics on them
Data Hub – a place to collect data from all sources.
Data Hub is a central place where data is stored, processed, and analyzed for the enterprise. A Data Hub architecture provides an integrated view of all data sources within an organization. Data Hub collects data from different sources, including the Internet of Things (IoT), social media, mobile devices, and other web-based services.
For example, if you have multiple systems that gather information about your employees’ performance on sales calls or customer service issues, you can integrate all these datasets into one place with a Data Hub. You can then analyze this information to see how effective different sales channels are in bringing new customers to you and what kinds of problems customers experience when trying to reach support staff via phone or email.
Data Lake – Is more of a big container to store the data, any application can access and process the data.
A Data Lake is an open-source data store providing a single repository for all of your enterprise data. The purpose of the Data Lake is to store all the available data for later use and make it easily accessible to everyone within the organization. Once stored in the Data Lake, you can analyze it using different tools and processes without having to worry about how it was generated or where it’s located.
Data Lakes are usually more cost-effective than traditional Hadoop clusters because they rely on inexpensive commodity servers instead of expensive high-end hardware components. However, this may not always be true – each use case has its own requirements and considerations when choosing storage architectures for storing vast amounts of unstructured data such as images, audio files, etc., so make sure you do some research before investing too much money into these projects!
Depending on how much processing power you need (or want) at any given time will determine which type(s) would work best for a given situation(s). If we’re talking purely about size, then there isn’t really any difference between them but if we were looking at performance, then relational databases might offer better speed since they already have a structure built into their design, while NoSQL databases don’t require schema changes which means less overhead when writing new entries into database tables.
Data Hub vs Data Lake: how are they different from one another?
A Data Hub architecture is a centralized repository that stores the raw data and metadata, while a data lake is an enterprise-wide repository of all types of raw data. The data lake is not managed and has no governance in place. In contrast, a Data Hub has defined governance to ensure that only authorized users can access the data and only for specific purposes.
The main difference between these two systems is how they store and manage their data. A Data Hub stores only the metadata associated with its raw data, while a data lake stores both the metadata and the raw data together in one place. A typical example of a Data Hub would be an analytics platform like Splunk that stores metadata about events and logs but does not store any actual event or log information itself; instead, it allows users to search for particular events or logs based on their attributes such as source IP address or timestamp.
Another way to think about this difference is as follows: If you were thinking about buying a new car, you would probably visit several dealerships before making your decision – but at each dealership, you would be shown only one model (or maybe two). You wouldn’t expect every single
The best option would be to have both, Data Lake for the enterprise and Data Hub for individuals.
Both are very different in their approach towards data management and analytics. Data Hub comes with several advantages over the Data Lake. It is simpler to use, has an easier interface, supports faster data ingestion, and has higher-end performance than a Data Lake. However, some of these advantages do come at a cost; for example, you won’t be able to use it if your company doesn’t want or need to store large amounts of historical data (as in many cases).
The best option would be to have both, Data Lake for the enterprise and Data Hub for individuals. The main reason why this solution is so appealing is that you can use both platforms together without any restrictions or limitations, regardless of where your organization falls within its spectrum of needs (small business or enterprise).
