Instead of copying and moving data from one place to another and then querying it, we can simply shortcut to that data and read it in place. We can also access data that's being changed without having to copy that data and then query for the changes. If the data is being changed at the source we can simply query it with a shortcut. Now it simplifies data architecture again by not copying and moving data unnecessarily. So for example I could have a central lake house that stores all of my source data. I could then shortcuts from other lake houses and can read my centralized source data in my lake house. Now if we've got data in other cloud providers such as AWS and Google, we can shortcut into those other cloud operators and query data in place.…
