Talend Open Studio Reaches 5.0 Milestone
22.05.12
Last month, open-source
data integration tool Talend Open Studio reached its version 5.0 milestone,
packing a set of new and updated components for accessing and manipulating data
stored in a broad range of formats, applications and repositories. Whats more,
Talend has expanded its Open Studio brand to include data quality, master data
management and enterprise service bus components, each of which had previously
shipped as separate open-source tools.
For this
review, I focused on the data integration component of the product, which I
last reviewed about two years ago, in its version 3.1 incarnation. Since that
time, Talend has bolstered the tool with nearly 200 new data components, most
recently including elements for accessing .Net data structures, for working
with Hadoop interfaces and for mapping XML data sources.
Also in
version 5.0, the tool, which had previously enabled users to create data
integration projects in Perl or Java, does away with its Perl capabilities. In
my experiences with the tool, I stuck to Java-based projects, as TOS
shipped with a broader range of Java-based data components.
