Talend - Big Data

Introduction

Talend Open Studio – Big Data is a free and open source tool for processing your data very easily on a big data environment. You have plenty of big data components available in Talend Open Studio , that lets you create and run Hadoop jobs just by simple drag and drop of few Hadoop components.

Besides, we do not need to write big lines of MapReduce codes; Talend Open Studio Big data helps you do this with the components present in it. It automatically generates MapReduce code for you, you just need to drag and drop the components and configure few parameters.

It also gives you the option to connect with several Big Data distributions like Cloudera, HortonWorks, MapR, Amazon EMR and even Apache.

Talend Components for Big Data

The list of categories with components to run a job on Big Data environment included under Big Data, is shown below −

The list of Big Data connectors and components in Talend Open Studio is shown below −
