The paper examines the integration of big data and data warehouse technologies, highlighting their differences and potential convergence strategies for enhanced data exploration and decision-making support. It critiques existing methodologies and proposes a multi-layered architecture model that addresses the challenges posed by large, unstructured datasets while underscoring the importance of data management policies. The authors conclude that while both paradigms aim at facilitating data analysis, their operational frameworks and applications differ significantly, necessitating a tailored approach for integration.
