Question

A data organization leader is upset about the data analysis team's reports being different from the data engineering team's reports. The leader believes the siloed nature of their organization's data engineering and data analysis architectures is to blame. Which of the following describes how a data lakehouse could alleviate this issue?

Options

  • ABoth teams would autoscale their work as data size evolves
  • BBoth teams would use the same source of truth for their work
  • CBoth teams would reorganize to report to the same department
  • DBoth teams would be able to collaborate on projects in real-time
  • EBoth teams would respond more quickly to ad-hoc requests

Explanation

The root cause of the discrepancy between the data engineering team's reports and the data analysis team's reports is that the two teams are using separate, siloed data architectures - likely different copies or transformations of data. A data lakehouse consolidates data into a single unified storage layer (e.g., Delta Lake), so all teams query the same authoritative source of truth. This eliminates data drift between teams. Options A, D, and E describe performance or collaboration benefits unrelated to data consistency. Option C describes an organizational change, not a technical architecture solution.
