Transform Data in StreamSets DataOps Platform
Do you need to transform data? Good new is that I’ve written quite a bit over the past few months about the more advanced aspects of data manipulation in StreamSets Data Collector Engine (SDC) – writing custom processors, calling Java libraries from JavaScript, Groovy & Python, and even using Java and Scala with the Spark Evaluator. As a developer, it’s always great fun to break out the editor and get to work, but we should be careful not to jump the gun. Just because you can solve a problem with code, doesn’t mean you should. Using SDC’s built-in processor stages is not only easier than writing code, it typically results in better performance. In this blog entry, I’ll look at some of these stages, and the problems you can solve with them.
