Data Lake
From Clinfowiki
A Data Lake is similar to that of a data warehouse, but it allows for the flow and storage of unstructured data sources in addition to the structured data in an enterprise data warehouse or data mart. The idea of a lake is such that water flows from various paths into the reservoir and then flows out.
