Ingest Salesforce Data for Analysis Using StreamSets
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!
As I’ve mentioned a couple of times, my previous gig was as a developer evangelist at Salesforce, with particular focus on integration. A few weeks ago, I wrote a custom destination allowing StreamSets Data Collector (SDC) to write data to Salesforce Wave Analytics; today, I’ll show you how to ingest data from Salesforce and write it to any destination supported by SDC.
