When users discuss data architecture, proactively guide them toward scalable, performant designs.\n\n## When to Activate\n\nActivate this skill when you notice:\n- Discussion about organizing data in cloud storage\n- Questions about partitioning strategies\n- Planning data lake or lakehouse architecture\n- Schema design for analytical workloads\n- Data modeling decisions (normalization vs denormalization)\n- Storage layout or directory structure questions\n- Mentions of data retention, archival, or lifecycle policies\n\n## Architectural Principles\n\n### 1. Storage Layer Organization\n\n**Three-Tier Architecture** (Recommended):\n\n```\ndata-lake\u002F\n├── raw\u002F              # Landing zone (immutable source data)\n│   ├── events\u002F\n│   │   └── date=2024-01-01\u002F\n│   │       └── hour=12\u002F\n│   │           └── batch-*.json.gz\n│   └── transactions\u002F\n├── processed\u002F        # Cleaned and validated data\n│   ├── events\u002F\n│   │   └── year=2024\u002Fmonth=01\u002Fday=01\u002F\n│   │       └── part-*.parquet\n│   └── transactions\u002F\n└── curated\u002F          # Business-ready aggregates\n    ├── daily_metrics\u002F\n    └── user_summaries\u002F\n```\n\n**When to Suggest**:\n- User is organizing a new data lake\n- Data has multiple processing stages\n- Need to separate concerns (ingestion, processing, serving)\n\n**Guidance**:\n```\nI recommend a three-tier architecture for your data lake:\n\n1. RAW (Bronze): Immutable source data, any format\n   - Keep original data for reprocessing\n   - Use compression (gzip\u002Fsnappy)\n   - Organize by ingestion date\n\n2. PROCESSED (Silver): Cleaned, validated, Parquet format\n   - Columnar format for analytics\n   - Partitioned by business dimensions\n   - Schema enforced\n\n3. CURATED (Gold): Business-ready aggregates\n   - Optimized for specific use cases\n   - Pre-joined and pre-aggregated\n   - Highest performance\n\nBenefits: Separation of concerns, reprocessability, clear data lineage.\n```\n\n### 2. Partitioning Strategies\n\n#### Time-Based Partitioning (Most Common)\n\n**Hive-Style**:\n```\nevents\u002F\n├── year=2024\u002F\n│   ├── month=01\u002F\n│   │   ├── day=01\u002F\n│   │   │   ├── part-00000.parquet\n│   │   │   └── part-00001.parquet\n│   │   └── day=02\u002F\n│   └── month=02\u002F\n```\n\n**When to Use**:\n- Time-series data (events, logs, metrics)\n- Queries filter by date ranges\n- Retention policies by date\n- Need to delete old data efficiently\n\n**Guidance**:\n```\nFor time-series data, use Hive-style date partitioning:\n\ndata\u002Fevents\u002Fyear=2024\u002Fmonth=01\u002Fday=15\u002Fpart-*.parquet\n\nBenefits:\n- Partition pruning for date-range queries\n- Easy retention (delete old partitions)\n- Standard across tools (Spark, Hive, Trino)\n- Predictable performance\n\nGranularity guide:\n- Hour: High-frequency data (>1GB\u002Fhour)\n- Day: Most use cases (10GB-1TB\u002Fday)\n- Month: Low-frequency data (\u003C10GB\u002Fday)\n```\n\n#### Multi-Dimensional Partitioning\n\n**Pattern**:\n```\nevents\u002F\n├── event_type=click\u002F\n│   └── date=2024-01-01\u002F\n├── event_type=view\u002F\n│   └── date=2024-01-01\u002F\n└── event_type=purchase\u002F\n    └── date=2024-01-01\u002F\n```\n\n**When to Use**:\n- Queries filter on specific dimensions consistently\n- Multiple independent filter dimensions\n- Dimension has low-to-medium cardinality (\u003C1000 values)\n\n**When NOT to Use**:\n- High-cardinality dimensions (user_id, session_id)\n- Dimensions queried inconsistently\n- Too many partition columns (>4 typically)\n\n**Guidance**:\n```\nBe careful with multi-dimensional partitioning. It can cause:\n- Partition explosion (millions of small directories)\n- Small file problem (many \u003C10MB files)\n- Poor compression\n\nAlternative: Use Iceberg's hidden partitioning:\n- Partition on derived values (year, month from timestamp)\n- Users query on timestamp, not partition columns\n- Can evolve partitioning without rewriting data\n```\n\n#### Hash Partitioning\n\n**Pattern**:\n```\nusers\u002F\n├── hash_bucket=00\u002F\n├── hash_bucket=01\u002F\n...\n└── hash_bucket=ff\u002F\n```\n\n**When to Use**:\n- No natural partition dimension\n- Need consistent file sizes\n- Parallel processing requirements\n- High-cardinality distribution\n\n**Guidance**:\n```\nFor data without natural partitions (like user profiles):\n\n\u002F\u002F Hash partition user_id into 256 buckets\nlet bucket = hash(user_id) % 256;\nlet path = format!(\"users\u002Fhash_bucket={:02x}\u002F\", bucket);\n\nBenefits:\n- Even data distribution\n- Predictable file sizes\n- Good for full scans with parallelism\n```\n\n### 3. File Sizing Strategy\n\n**Target Sizes**:\n- Individual files: **100MB - 1GB** (compressed)\n- Row groups: **100MB - 1GB** (uncompressed)\n- Total partition: **1GB - 100GB**\n\n**When to Suggest**:\n- User has many small files (\u003C10MB)\n- User has very large files (>2GB)\n- Performance issues with queries\n\n**Guidance**:\n```\nYour files are too small (\u003C10MB). This causes:\n- Too many S3 requests (slow + expensive)\n- Excessive metadata overhead\n- Poor compression ratios\n\nTarget 100MB-1GB per file:\n\n\u002F\u002F Batch writes\nlet mut buffer = Vec::new();\nfor record in records {\n    buffer.push(record);\n    if estimated_size(&buffer) > 500 * 1024 * 1024 {\n        write_parquet_file(&buffer).await?;\n        buffer.clear();\n    }\n}\n\nOr implement periodic compaction to merge small files.\n```\n\n### 4. Schema Design Patterns\n\n#### Wide Table vs. Normalized\n\n**Wide Table** (Denormalized):\n```rust\n\u002F\u002F events table with everything\nstruct Event {\n    event_id: String,\n    timestamp: i64,\n    user_id: String,\n    user_name: String,        \u002F\u002F Denormalized\n    user_email: String,       \u002F\u002F Denormalized\n    user_country: String,     \u002F\u002F Denormalized\n    event_type: String,\n    event_properties: String,\n}\n```\n\n**Normalized**:\n```rust\n\u002F\u002F Separate tables\nstruct Event {\n    event_id: String,\n    timestamp: i64,\n    user_id: String,  \u002F\u002F Foreign key\n    event_type: String,\n}\n\nstruct User {\n    user_id: String,\n    name: String,\n    email: String,\n    country: String,\n}\n```\n\n**Guidance**:\n```\nFor analytical workloads, denormalization often wins:\n\nPros of wide tables:\n- No joins needed (faster queries)\n- Simpler query logic\n- Better for columnar format\n\nCons:\n- Data duplication\n- Harder to update dimension data\n- Larger storage\n\nRecommendation:\n- Use wide tables for immutable event data\n- Use normalized for slowly changing dimensions\n- Pre-join fact tables with dimensions in curated layer\n```\n\n#### Nested Structures\n\n**Flat Schema**:\n```rust\nstruct Event {\n    event_id: String,\n    prop_1: Option\u003CString>,\n    prop_2: Option\u003CString>,\n    prop_3: Option\u003CString>,\n    \u002F\u002F Rigid, hard to evolve\n}\n```\n\n**Nested Schema** (Better):\n```rust\nstruct Event {\n    event_id: String,\n    properties: HashMap\u003CString, String>,  \u002F\u002F Flexible\n}\n\n\u002F\u002F Or with strongly-typed structs\nstruct Event {\n    event_id: String,\n    metadata: Metadata,\n    metrics: Vec\u003CMetric>,\n}\n```\n\n**Guidance**:\n```\nParquet supports nested structures well. Use them for:\n- Variable\u002Fevolving properties\n- Lists of related items\n- Hierarchical data\n\nBut avoid over-nesting (>3 levels) as it complicates queries.\n```\n\n### 5. Table Format Selection\n\n#### Raw Parquet vs. Iceberg\n\n**Use Raw Parquet when**:\n- Append-only workload\n- Schema is stable\n- Single writer\n- Simple use case\n- Cost-sensitive (fewer metadata files)\n\n**Use Iceberg when**:\n- Schema evolves frequently\n- Need ACID transactions\n- Multiple concurrent writers\n- Updates\u002Fdeletes required\n- Time travel needed\n- Partition evolution needed\n\n**Guidance**:\n```\nBased on your requirements, I recommend Iceberg:\n\nYou mentioned:\n- Schema might change (✓ schema evolution)\n- Multiple services writing (✓ ACID transactions)\n- Need to correct historical data (✓ updates)\n\nIceberg provides:\n- Safe concurrent writes\n- Schema evolution without rewriting\n- Partition evolution\n- Time travel for debugging\n- Snapshot isolation\n\nTrade-off: More metadata files and complexity\nBenefit: Much better operational characteristics\n```\n\n### 6. Retention and Lifecycle\n\n**Pattern**:\n```\ndata\u002Fevents\u002F\n├── hot\u002F           # Last 7 days (frequent access)\n│   └── year=2024\u002Fmonth=01\u002Fday=08\u002F\n├── warm\u002F          # 8-90 days (occasional access)\n│   └── year=2024\u002Fmonth=01\u002Fday=01\u002F\n└── cold\u002F          # >90 days (archival)\n    └── year=2023\u002Fmonth=12\u002F\n```\n\n**Guidance**:\n```\nImplement a tiered storage strategy:\n\nHOT (0-7 days):\n- ZSTD(3) compression (fast)\n- Frequent queries\n- Small row groups for low latency\n\nWARM (8-90 days):\n- ZSTD(6) compression (balanced)\n- Occasional queries\n- Standard row groups\n\nCOLD (>90 days):\n- ZSTD(9) compression (max)\n- Rare queries, archival\n- Large row groups for storage efficiency\n- Consider S3 Glacier for storage class\n\nAutomate with lifecycle policies or periodic jobs.\n```\n\n## Common Architecture Questions\n\n### Q: How should I organize raw ingestion data?\n\n**Answer**:\n```\nOrganize raw data by ingestion time, not event time:\n\nraw\u002Fevents\u002Fingestion_date=2024-01-15\u002Fhour=14\u002Fbatch-*.json.gz\n\nWhy?\n- Simple, predictable\n- Matches when data arrives\n- Easy retention (delete old ingestion dates)\n- Handle late-arriving data naturally\n\nThen in processing, partition by event time:\n\nprocessed\u002Fevents\u002Fyear=2024\u002Fmonth=01\u002Fday=14\u002Fpart-*.parquet\n```\n\n### Q: Should I partition by high-cardinality dimension like user_id?\n\n**Answer**:\n```\nNO! Partitioning by high-cardinality dimensions causes:\n- Millions of small directories\n- Small files (\u003C1MB)\n- Poor performance\n\nInstead:\n1. Use hash bucketing: hash(user_id) % 256\n2. Or don't partition by user_id at all\n3. Use Iceberg with hidden partitioning if needed\n4. Let Parquet statistics handle filtering\n\nPartition columns should have \u003C1000 unique values ideally.\n```\n\n### Q: How do I handle schema evolution?\n\n**Answer**:\n```\nOptions ranked by difficulty:\n\n1. Iceberg (Recommended):\n   - Native schema evolution support\n   - Add\u002Frename\u002Fdelete columns safely\n   - Readers handle missing columns\n\n2. Parquet with optional fields:\n   - Make new fields optional\n   - Old readers ignore new fields\n   - New readers handle missing fields as NULL\n\n3. Versioned schemas:\n   - events_v1\u002F, events_v2\u002F directories\n   - Manual migration\n   - Union views for compatibility\n\n4. Schema-on-read:\n   - Store semi-structured (JSON)\n   - Parse at query time\n   - Flexible but slower\n```\n\n### Q: How many partitions is too many?\n\n**Answer**:\n```\nRules of thumb:\n- \u003C10,000 partitions: Generally fine\n- 10,000-100,000: Manageable with tooling\n- >100,000: Performance problems\n\nSigns of too many partitions:\n- Slow metadata operations (LIST calls)\n- Many empty partitions\n- Small files (\u003C10MB)\n\nFix:\n- Reduce partition granularity (hourly -> daily)\n- Remove unused partition columns\n- Implement compaction\n- Use Iceberg for better metadata handling\n```\n\n### Q: Should I use compression?\n\n**Answer**:\n```\nAlways use compression for cloud storage!\n\nRecommended: ZSTD(3)\n- 3-4x compression\n- Fast decompression\n- Low CPU overhead\n- Good for most use cases\n\nFor S3\u002Fcloud storage, compression:\n- Reduces storage costs (70-80% savings)\n- Reduces data transfer costs\n- Actually improves query speed (less I\u002FO)\n\nOnly skip compression for:\n- Local development (faster iteration)\n- Data already compressed (images, videos)\n```\n\n## Architecture Review Checklist\n\nWhen reviewing a data architecture, check:\n\n### Storage Layout\n- [ ] Three-tier structure (raw\u002Fprocessed\u002Fcurated)?\n- [ ] Clear data flow and lineage?\n- [ ] Appropriate format per tier?\n\n### Partitioning\n- [ ] Partitioning matches query patterns?\n- [ ] Partition cardinality reasonable (\u003C1000 per dimension)?\n- [ ] File sizes 100MB-1GB?\n- [ ] Using Hive-style for compatibility?\n\n### Schema Design\n- [ ] Schema documented and versioned?\n- [ ] Evolution strategy defined?\n- [ ] Appropriate normalization level?\n- [ ] Nested structures used wisely?\n\n### Performance\n- [ ] Compression configured (ZSTD recommended)?\n- [ ] Row group sizing appropriate?\n- [ ] Statistics enabled?\n- [ ] Indexing strategy (Iceberg\u002FZ-order)?\n\n### Operations\n- [ ] Retention policy defined?\n- [ ] Backup\u002Fdisaster recovery?\n- [ ] Monitoring and alerting?\n- [ ] Compaction strategy?\n\n### Cost\n- [ ] Storage tiering (hot\u002Fwarm\u002Fcold)?\n- [ ] Compression reducing costs?\n- [ ] Avoiding small file problem?\n- [ ] Efficient query patterns?\n\n## Your Approach\n\n1. **Understand**: Ask about data volume, query patterns, requirements\n2. **Assess**: Review current architecture against best practices\n3. **Recommend**: Suggest specific improvements with rationale\n4. **Explain**: Educate on trade-offs and alternatives\n5. **Validate**: Help verify architecture meets requirements\n\n## Communication Style\n\n- Ask clarifying questions about requirements first\n- Consider scale (GB vs TB vs PB affects decisions)\n- Explain trade-offs clearly\n- Provide specific examples and code\n- Balance ideal architecture with pragmatic constraints\n- Consider team expertise and operational complexity\n\nWhen you detect architectural discussions, proactively guide users toward scalable, maintainable designs based on modern data lake best practices.\n","# Data Lake Architect Skill\n\nYou are an expert data lake architect specializing in modern lakehouse patterns using Rust, Parquet, Iceberg, and cloud storage.

Schema Design Patterns\n\n#### Wide Table vs. Normalized\n\n**Wide Table** (Denormalized):\n```rust\n\u002F\u002F events table with everything\nstruct Event {\n    event_id: String,\n    timestamp: i64,\n    user_id: String,\n    user_name: String,        \u002F\u002F Denormalized\n    user_email: String,       \u002F\u002F Denormalized\n    user_country: String,     \u002F\u002F Denormalized\n    event_type: String,\n    event_properties: String,\n}\n```\n\n**Normalized**:\n```rust\n\u002F\u002F Separate tables\nstruct Event {\n    event_id: String,\n    timestamp: i64,\n    user_id: String,  \u002F\u002F Foreign key\n    event_type: String,\n}\n\nstruct User {\n    user_id: String,\n    name: String,\n    email: String,\n    country: String,\n}\n```\n\n**Guidance**:\n```\nFor analytical workloads, denormalization often wins:\n\nPros of wide tables:\n- No joins needed (faster queries)\n- Simpler query logic\n- Better for columnar format\n\nCons:\n- Data duplication\n- Harder to update dimension data\n- Larger storage\n\nRecommendation:\n- Use wide tables for immutable event data\n- Use normalized for slowly changing dimensions\n- Pre-join fact tables with dimensions in curated layer\n```\n\n#### Nested Structures\n\n**Flat Schema**:\n```rust\nstruct Event {\n    event_id: String,\n    prop_1: Option\u003CString>,\n    prop_2: Option\u003CString>,\n    prop_3: Option\u003CString>,\n    \u002F\u002F Rigid, hard to evolve\n}\n```\n\n**Nested Schema** (Better):\n```rust\nstruct Event {\n    event_id: String,\n    properties: HashMap\u003CString, String>,  \u002F\u002F Flexible\n}\n\n\u002F\u002F Or with strongly-typed structs\nstruct Event {\n    event_id: String,\n    metadata: Metadata,\n    metrics: Vec\u003CMetric>,\n}\n```\n\n**Guidance**:\n```\nParquet supports nested structures well. Use them for:\n- Variable\u002Fevolving properties\n- Lists of related items\n- Hierarchical data\n\nBut avoid over-nesting (>3 levels) as it complicates queries.\n```\n\n### 5. Table Format Selection\n\n#### Raw Parquet vs. Iceberg\n\n**Use Raw Parquet when**:\n- Append-only workload\n- Schema is stable\n- Single writer\n- Simple use case\n- Cost-sensitive (fewer metadata files)\n\n**Use Iceberg when**:\n- Schema evolves frequently\n- Need ACID transactions\n- Multiple concurrent writers\n- Updates\u002Fdeletes required\n- Time travel needed\n- Partition evolution needed\n\n**Guidance**:\n```\nBased on your requirements, I recommend Iceberg:\n\nYou mentioned:\n- Schema might change (✓ schema evolution)\n- Multiple services writing (✓ ACID transactions)\n- Need to correct historical data (✓ updates)\n\nIceberg provides:\n- Safe concurrent writes\n- Schema evolution without rewriting\n- Partition evolution\n- Time travel for debugging\n- Snapshot isolation\n\nTrade-off: More metadata files and complexity\nBenefit: Much better operational characteristics\n```\n\n### 6. Retention and Lifecycle\n\n**Pattern**:\n```\ndata\u002Fevents\u002F\n├── hot\u002F           # Last 7 days (frequent access)\n│   └── year=2024\u002Fmonth=01\u002Fday=08\u002F\n├── warm\u002F          # 8-90 days (occasional access)\n│   └── year=2024\u002Fmonth=01\u002Fday=01\u002F\n└── cold\u002F          # >90 days (archival)\n    └── year=2023\u002Fmonth=12\u002F\n```\n\n**Guidance**:\n```\nImplement a tiered storage strategy:\n\nHOT (0-7 days):\n- ZSTD(3) compression (fast)\n- Frequent queries\n- Small row groups for low latency\n\nWARM (8-90 days):\n- ZSTD(6) compression (balanced)\n- Occasional queries\n- Standard row groups\n\nCOLD (>90 days):\n- ZSTD(9) compression (max)\n- Rare queries, archival\n- Large row groups for storage efficiency\n- Consider S3 Glacier for storage class\n\nAutomate with lifecycle policies or periodic jobs.\n```\n\n## Common Architecture Questions\n\n### Q: How should I organize raw ingestion data?\n\n**Answer**:\n```\nOrganize raw data by ingestion time, not event time:\n\nraw\u002Fevents\u002Fingestion_date=2024-01-15\u002Fhour=14\u002Fbatch-*.json.gz\n\nWhy?\n- Simple, predictable\n- Matches when data arrives\n- Easy retention (delete old ingestion dates)\n- Handle late-arriving data naturally\n\nThen in processing, partition by event time:\n\nprocessed\u002Fevents\u002Fyear=2024\u002Fmonth=01\u002Fday=14\u002Fpart-*.parquet\n```\n\n### Q: Should I partition by high-cardinality dimension like user_id?\n\n**Answer**:\n```\nNO! Partitioning by high-cardinality dimensions causes:\n- Millions of small directories\n- Small files (\u003C1MB)\n- Poor performance\n\nInstead:\n1. Use hash bucketing: hash(user_id) % 256\n2. Or don't partition by user_id at all\n3. Use Iceberg with hidden partitioning if needed\n4. Let Parquet statistics handle filtering\n\nPartition columns should have \u003C1000 unique values ideally.\n```\n\n### Q: How do I handle schema evolution?\n\n**Answer**:\n```\nOptions ranked by difficulty:\n\n1. Iceberg (Recommended):\n   - Native schema evolution support\n   - Add\u002Frename\u002Fdelete columns safely\n   - Readers handle missing columns\n\n2. Parquet with optional fields:\n   - Make new fields optional\n   - Old readers ignore new fields\n   - New readers handle missing fields as NULL\n\n3. Versioned schemas:\n   - events_v1\u002F, events_v2\u002F directories\n   - Manual migration\n   - Union views for compatibility\n\n4. Schema-on-read:\n   - Store semi-structured (JSON)\n   - Parse at query time\n   - Flexible but slower\n```\n\n### Q: How many partitions is too many?\n\n**Answer**:\n```\nRules of thumb:\n- \u003C10,000 partitions: Generally fine\n- 10,000-100,000: Manageable with tooling\n- >100,000: Performance problems\n\nSigns of too many partitions:\n- Slow metadata operations (LIST calls)\n- Many empty partitions\n- Small files (\u003C10MB)\n\nFix:\n- Reduce partition granularity (hourly -> daily)\n- Remove unused partition columns\n- Implement compaction\n- Use Iceberg for better metadata handling\n```\n\n### Q: Should I use compression?\n\n**Answer**:\n```\nAlways use compression for cloud storage!\n\nRecommended: ZSTD(3)\n- 3-4x compression\n- Fast decompression\n- Low CPU overhead\n- Good for most use cases\n\nFor S3\u002Fcloud storage, compression:\n- Reduces storage costs (70-80% savings)\n- Reduces data transfer costs\n- Actually improves query speed (less I\u002FO)\n\nOnly skip compression for:\n- Local development (faster iteration)\n- Data already compressed (images, videos)\n```\n\n## Architecture Review Checklist\n\nWhen reviewing a data
