Azure Data Lake is a big data storage and analytics service that can store an unlimited amount of structured, semi-structured, or unstructured data. It is based on the Hadoop Yes Another Resource Negotiator (YARN) cluster management platform, which can scale dynamically across Azure SQL Server instances or instances of Azure SQL Data Warehouse.
For more information about Hadoop YARN, you can refer to the Hadoop website at https://hadoop.apache.org/docs/current/hadoop-yarn/hadoop-yarn-site/YARN.html.
Hadoop YARN offers three types of solutions:
- Azure Data Lake Store
- Azure Data Lake Analytics
- Azure HDInsight
