Data objects

Data Lake stores data in the form of files or data objects. Data objects are often represented in the NDJSON, JSON, and flat file formats. A flat file can be, for example, a .csv file with transactions recorded in a system that are subsequently stored in Data Lake and can be accessed at any time. Data objects that are stored in Data Lake are 99.999999999% durable.

Data objects in Data Lake are accompanied by metadata that is known as data object properties. The properties are used by applications, clients, and Infor OS products and services for the purposes of interacting with, managing, and extracting data. You can query the supported data objects with the Compass SQL platform to analyze and transform data.
