It’s hard to take an article seriously that uses a snowflake ceo maligning Hadoop as evidence of something. (Note, I am already a believer that data lake efforts usually ended badly.)

Regardless of whether their criticism is factual, it’s absurd to use a direct competitors assessment of the competing tech as a credible source!

If you do that in the opening paragraphs of your paper, it’s wrecked all credibility for everything that follows.

I have the same feeling about quoting Gartner studies, tbh.

The paper is actually poor in data and mostly requotes other studies.

I'd say Bob Muglia is pretty credible
