What Is a Data Collector?
StreamSets Data Collector is a powerful execution engine used to route and process data in batch, streaming, or CDC pipelines. Data Collector processes data when it arrives at the origin and waits quietly when not needed. You can view real-time statistics about your data, inspect data as it passes through the pipeline, or take a closer look at a snapshot of your data.
You can use Data Collectors anywhere you need to ingest data by configuring data pipelines to run automatically. It doesn’t matter if your data sources are on-prem, cloud-to-cloud or on-prem-to-cloud, use the pre-built connectors and native integrations to configure your pipeline without coding. With smart data pipelines, you can spend more time building new data pipelines and less time rewriting and fixing old pipelines.
