Very clever naming!
- pas 2y agoSorry, what do you base that on? To me it just seems like a straightforward inspiration from the "data lake" -> "lakehouse" terminology that Databricks started (?) using. https://www.databricks.com/product/data-lakehouse https://www.databricks.com/product/data-lakehouse edit: ah, but in a different comment someone noted that it's not actually a lakehouse, so who knows!? :)
- arduanika 2y agoBased on pure speculation. I may be reaching. My best guess is that Databricks and Pg_lakehouse both independently coined "lakehouse" from "data lake", and that for the latter team, it was partly a pun on Wodehouse. But the creators are welcome to chime in and confirm/deny! (Or to say, like, "Sure...uh, we totally meant that...yes we are very literary.")
- philippemnoel 2y agoI wish we were that clever, but it's really just the combination of "data lake" and "data warehouse", which isn't even coined by us :)
- adammarples 2y agoIt has absolutely nothing to do with Pg wodehouse, it's a "data warehouse" sitting on a "data lake", which simply combines those two terms while keeping the "lake" and "house" metaphors quite well because you do actually get lake houses on lakes.
