- 14. Project(s) and Context • Project initiated at two Large Retailers • Goal to extend the analytical Data Lake – As of Late 2015 Data Lake built only for Analytics – Pulls data from Transactional, ERP, POS systems – Implemented using ODPi (Pivotal/Hortonworks) Distribution and Greenplum for MPPDB • Next Generation Data Lake – Current ETL system reaching performance and scale limits Move ETL in Hadoop – Move BIDW and Transactional reporting to Hadoop – Increase users on this system – Security and Quality constraints – In-store SKU count ~ 500 Million ; Online SKU count ~ 5 Million • Complex Master Data Management around existing systems – For Hadoop – the EIM integration didn’t exist and/or processes were not in place – Little to no interest from EIM data integration team 14

- 20. Key Evaluation and Selection Criteria 20
- 21. Initial Challenge • Too many tools to choose from • Each claimed to be Metadata management tool • Each claimed security and integration features • Resistance from the EIM team when initially involved • Translating Data Management Ideology to tasks of evaluation 21
- 22. Project Approach • Build a list of KPI to evaluate tools • Working with EIM team (best practices advise & SME engagement), business and IT team support Data lake project • Vendor Identification – List of 5 • Implementation • Minimized scope of project • Decided to tackle integration with legacy EIM at a later date • After Evaluation, focused on implementing no-more than 2 Data management tools for Next-Gen Data Fabric Platform 22
- 23. • Define Business Metadata (Is reference data available within tool or outside) • Automation and flexibility in crawling the HDFS and understand the various format – Range of File formats supported – Reading each file to extract metadata – Both for data persisted already and incoming new files in real-time – Cross reference with lookup or repository for pre-existing classes and profiles – Maturity of attaching context or facet to the atomic data – Ability to retrieve descriptive and Structural Metadata even with no Metadata within the content • Storing the profiled data – actual data and metadata in a repository • Custom Tagging as well as recognizing Metadata information • Translation and integration with industry certification and models 23 Metadata Curation and Management (1/2) Data Profiling
- 24. • Ability to classify data – based on user defined categories – Search/Crawl and identification "Facet Finder” and efficiency of internal repository – Presence of Data Models if any – Features around custom Metadata and Tagging • Once classified - ability for Metadata information to be indexed, and searchable thru API or Web Interfaces – Efficiency of Search and indexing – Richness of Integration with NLPTK • Data Re-mediation • Data Archiving and policy implementation • Notification: Configurable triggers – based on user-defined criteria 24 Metadata Curation and Management (2/2) Data Classification
- 25. Lineage and Versioning • Be able to identify the origin of data – i.e. from – Transactional systems, Dump files, Another HDFS file, Repository etc. – Level of depth of data origination and lineage • Ability of the solution to sense and preserve Metadata Versions around a given entity during Capture process and post • Ability to support Deduplication with the Entity’s metadata – On the fly without impacting the performance 25
- 26. Integration • Ability to integrate its meta store with enterprise MDM /EIM systems – Maturity of Metadata Entity Readers (Input/Output) Artifacts from Metastore – Bi-directional API for other tool integration to identify lineage – Bi-directional API for other tool integration for SIEM threat assessment and detection – While maintaining user and security context • Integration with the various tools of Ingestion, Transformation & Consumption – Spark, Storm, Kafka, Informatica, Data Stage etc. • Integration with security tools – LDAP, ACLs, encryption • Rules and Policy engine 26
- 27. Performance, Accuracy and Ease of Use • Sample visualization of Metadata with Native Reporting tools & others • Ability to process compressed and encrypted files • Level of Error and exception handling built in during all processes • Impact on performance from – Crawling, scanning and profiling – Classification & transformation • Enable notifications of data availability - how customizable are they? • Self-service discovery portal leveraging curated artifacts 27

- 34. Key Takeaways 34
- 35. Market − Metadata Mgmt tools in market are still evolving for Data Lake architectures − Ever growing and Rich Partner ecosystem − Hadoop does not offer a sufficient policy engine or action framework Customer − Choice of tool is IT and business driven. Sponsorship important ! − To drive adoption – ease of use and intuitive product a must − Balancing Multi-vendor and functionality: Limit number of tools to 3 − Recommendation to use Information management Professional Services with selected tool (s) Key Takeaways
- 36. PROCESS Evaluation of the tools − Reviews and demo of the tools versus a full-fledged POC − Build an adaptive matrix of KPI measurements, customized to your organization - Unless quantified evaluation would be very subjective Beware of the Trap- Analysis - Paralysis − Multiple business units drive this decision − Functionality scope - workflows, ETL processes and integration or pure-play data management − Integration with existing EIM tools was delayed as a priority: Huge part of the success Investment/Cost: Existing tools, Level of Effort and implementation Key Takeaways
