Intelligent Data Lake Service Overview
Intelligent Data Lake requires the Intelligent Data Lake Service to complete operations. The Intelligent Data Lake Service is an application service that runs the Intelligent Data Lake application in the Informatica domain.
The Intelligent Data Lake application allows data analysts to create data preparation projects. Each step of the data preparation project is stored in a recipe that is translated into a mapping for execution on the Informatica platform.
When an analyst uploads data, the Intelligent Data Lake Service connects to the HDFS system in the Hadoop cluster to temporarily stage the data. When an analyst previews data, the Intelligent Data Lake Service connects to HiveServer2 in the Hadoop cluster to read from the Hive table.
As analysts complete actions in the Intelligent Data Lake application, the Intelligent Data Lake application connects to HBase in the Hadoop cluster to store events that you can use to audit user activity.
