Integrating StreamSets with Salesforce Wave Analytics
UPDATE – Salesforce origin and destination stages, as well as a destination for Salesforce Wave Analytics, were released in StreamSets Data Collector 2.2.0.0. Use the supported, shipping Salesforce stages rather than the unsupported code mentioned below!
In my last blog entry I explained how you can write custom destinations to send data to systems not currently supported by StreamSets Data Collector. As you might know, my last gig was as a developer evangelist at Salesforce, so I put my experience to work writing a destination for Salesforce Wave Analytics. Now you can ingest data from any of a variety of origins, operate on it in a StreamSets pipeline, and write the results into a Wave dataset. Once uploaded, you can combine the dataset with CRM and other data in Salesforce for analysis.
