The datalake

The datalake is the central data storage of the proteomics pipelines framework. Its location is shared with the web-site and celery workers. The location of the data lake on the host system can be controled with the DATALAKE=/var/www/html/omics/datalake variable in the .env file.

The proteomics jobs read the input files from the datalake from the config and input folders of the current project and write the MaxQuant and RawTools output to the corresponding output directory. The output directory is organized by file, so that all data from one file is collected in one subfolder.

Certain fractions of the data are cleaned and stored in a columnar data format (parquet) to enable fast reads. This data is a simplified and standardized version of the data in the output folder and can be regenerated easily and is organized by data type rather than by input file, in contrast to the output directory.
