Hello,
Actually Jaime's email gave me an idea. Why not having a separate actual
data lake? Like a hadoop cluster, it can even take the data from analytics
cluster (after being sanitized of course). I remember there were some
discussions about having a hadoop or Presto cluster in WM Cloud.

Has this been considered?

Thanks.
