Approaches-Data warehouse fundamentals-part 2


There are two ways of approaches to Data Warehouse.
  • Top Down approach or Inmon Approach
  • Bottom Down approach or Drill Up Approach Or kimball approach
INMON APPROACH (TOP DOWN APPROACH OR DRILL DOWN APPROACH)
  • First build data warehouse and then load data marts

  • Faster approach
  • Bill Inmon definition on data warehouse is – “It is a subject oriented, nonvolatile, integrated, time variant collection of data in support of management's decisions”.
  • Data mart are dependent on DWH























RALPH KINBALL APPROACH (BOTTOM UP APPROACH OR DRILL UP APPROACH)

  • Ralph Kimball definition on data warehouse is – “Data warehouse is the conglomerate (Composed of heterogeneous materials or elements) of all data marts within the enterprise. Information is always stored in the dimensional model”.
  • First build Data Mart and then build data warehouse.
  • Data marts are independent.
  • Slow Approach

BIG Data, Hadoop – Chapter 2 - Data Life Cycle

Data Life Cycle The data life cycle is pictorial defined as show below:     As we see, in our current system, we capture/ Extract our data, then we store it and later we process for reporting and analytics. But in case of big data, the problem lies in storing and then processing it faster. Hence Hadoop takes this portion, where it stores the data in effective format (Hadoop distributed File System) and also process using its engine (Map Reduce Engine). Since Map Reduce engine or Hadoop engine need data on HDFS format to process, We have favorable tools available in market to do this operation. As an example, Scoop is a tool which converts RDBMS to HDFS. Likewise we have SAP BOD to convert sap system data to HDFS.
