The company wants to move from a classic data warehouse to a lakehouse on object storage. How would you design such a platform, and what trade-offs do you see compared to a traditional DWH?

How to approach it

This checks whether the candidate understands a lakehouse as an engineering system rather than a buzzword: what components it's made of (table format, catalog, separate engines, layers) and what price the team pays for giving up a managed DWH. It also looks at whether they can say when the move is justified at all.
