Hello.

I have an idea for a PhD topic, which is to see if it is possible to do something with regards to data lakes. The idea is to create an architectural model that solves a specific problem, but there is a very high likelihood that this is not possible.

My question is, if I can show how and why it is not possible to create the output, would it still be considered a viable project at the end? I would hate to go through everything and then lose out because the idea was too ambitious.

If it helps the research question would be along the lines of - Is it possible to create an architectural model to solve (the problem) in data lakes?

I hope this makes sense as I'm trying not to give too many details at the moment as I'm still ironing them all out.

Thanks in advance for any advice you can provide.
