Cheap storage and on-demand compute in the cloud coupled with the emergence of new big data frameworks and tools are forcing us to rethink the whole ETL and data warehousing architecture. There is a strong argument for ELT i.e. extract, load, and transform model. Classic ETL. Late transformation. Challenges.

For example, a job would reprocess aggregates for the past 3 days because it assumes that there would be late arriving data, but data prior to 3 days isn’t worth the cost of reprocessing. Backfill: Backfilling datasets is a common operation in big data processing. data arrives too late to be useful).
