Data Lake Management Overview
You can use the Enterprise Data Preparation application to manage the Enterprise Data Catalog resources that represent data sources from which scanners extract metadata for use in the data lake, and data lake targets to which users upload and publish data assets.
You can add resources created in Enterprise Data Catalog to the data lake. You must add at least one Hive resource, which is required to perform export, import, data preparation and publish operations in the Enterprise Data Preparation application, to the data lake. Contact your Enterprise Data Catalog administrator for assistance with creating new resources in Enterprise Data Catalog.
You can also delete a resource from the data lake. Deleting a resource might impact Enterprise Data Preparation operations, including export, import, data preparation and publish operations.
You can manage access to the data lake by assigning permissions on the Enterprise Data Catalog resources that represent Hive schemas and HDFS locations in the data lake to Enterprise Data Preparation users and groups of users. When you grant permissions on specific schemas or locations to a user or group of users, the application displays only those schemas and locations to which a user has permissions when the user performs an import, publish, or upload operation.
