HDFS data lake

Processing jobs can store data in a Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) data lake. In a typical installation of Business Automation Insights, you set up long term storage in a Hadoop distributed file system (HDFS) data lake for further downstream processing of your business data.

Because HDFS is long-term storage and intended as a historical archive and machine learning processes, active summaries are not stored to HDFS but only exposed in Elasticsearch or in Kibana dashboards.
