This document provides a deep exploration of Apache Flink and Iceberg and presents solutions with Dell ECS as the storage system for the data lake. With this solution, you can connect the metadata and data directly to ECS, making full use of the native advantages provided by ECS. This solution provides optimal deployment convenience. The functionality exposed by Apache Iceberg catalog allows the storage tier to be more involved so that you can support its services based on the characteristics of ECS.
Due to the separation of data lakes in computing and storage, there is a new storage choice that allows object storage to enter the data analysis field from the traditional cold-standby scenes. ECS, with its high performance and flexibility, is ideal for data analysis and is a great choice for your data lake solution.
