- Chief Strategy Officer of Self - Service Data Analytics Specialist Alteryx, Says IT Won'T Be Alone on the Hook When It Comes to Making Data Lakes Deliver Value
"Most analysts have not taken advantage of the vast amount of unstructured resources like clickstream data, IoT data, log data, etc., that have flooded their data lakes - largely because it's difficult to do so," Eide says. "But truthfully, analysts aren't doing their job if they leave this data untouched. It's widely understood that many data lakes are underperforming assets - people don't know what's in there, how to access it, or how to create insights from the data. This reality will change in 2018, as more CDOs and enterprises want better ROI for their data lakes."
Langley Eide, chief strategy officer of self-service data analytics specialist Alteryx, says IT won't be alone on the hook when it comes to making data lakes deliver value: Line-of-business (LOB) analysts and chief digital officers (CDOs) will also have to take responsibility in 2018.

- CEO of Splice Machine, Agrees
"The Hadoop era of disillusionment hits full stride, with many companies drowning in their data lakes, unable to get a ROI because of the complexity of duct-taping Hadoop-based compute engines," Zweben predicts for 2018.
To survive 2018, data lakes will have to start proving their business value, says Ken Hoang, vice president of strategy and alliances at data catalog specialist Alation.
"The new dumping ground of data - data lakes - has gone through experimental deployments over the last few years, and will start to be shut down unless they prove that they can deliver value," Hoang says. "The hallmark for a successful data lake will be having an enterprise catalog that brings information discovery, AI, and information stewarding together to deliver new insights to the business."
However, Hoang doesn't believe all is lost for data lakes. He predicts data lakes and other large data hubs can find a new lease on life with what he calls "super hubs" that can deliver "context-as-a-service" via machine learning.

Job Titles:
- Chief Application Architect for MapR, Predicts a Similar Shift
"We will see more and more businesses treat computation in terms of data flows rather than data that is just processed and landed in a database," Dunning says. "These data flows capture key business events and mirror business structure. A unified data fabric will be the foundation for building these large-scale flow-based systems."
Ted Dunning, chief application architect for MapR, predicts a similar shift: With big data systems becoming a center of gravity in terms of storage, access and operations, businesses will look to build a global data fabric that will give comprehensive access to data from many sources and to computation for truly multi-tenant systems.

- CEO and Co - Founder of Analytics Startup Dremio, a Driving Force Behind the Open Source Apache Arrow Project, Predicts That Enterprises Will See the Need for a New Role
The data curator, Shiran says, sits between data consumers (analysts and data scientists who use tools like Tableau and Python to answer important questions with data) and data engineers (the people who move and transform data between systems using scripting languages, Spark, Hive, and MapReduce). To be successful, data curators must understand the meaning of the data as well as the technologies that are applied to the data.
"The data curator is responsible for understanding the types of analysis that need to be performed by different groups across the organization, what datasets are well suited for this work, and the steps involved in taking the data from its raw state to the shape and form needed for the job a data consumer will perform," Shiran says. "The data curator uses systems such as self-service data platforms to accelerate the end-to-end process of providing data consumers access to essential datasets without making endless copies of data."
Tomer Shiran, CEO and co-founder of analytics startup Dremio, a driving force behind the open source Apache Arrow project, predicts that enterprises will see the need for a new role: the data curator.
