Transformer offers the enterprise features and productivity of legacy ETL tools, while revealing the full power and flexibility of Apache Spark.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is StreamSets Transformer for Spark?
What is a StreamSets Transformer for Spark pipeline?
All data pipelines for all of our engines, including Transformer for Spark, are essentially data flows. Taking data from one source to another and often including transformations along the way. Data pipelines can be leveraged to power machine learning, advanced analytics, business intelligence and other key insights.
Is StreamSets an ETL tool?
StreamSets acts as an ETL tool, though it is a complete end-to-end data integration platform. It performs ETL, ELT and data transformations such as joins, aggregates, and unions directly on Apache Spark and Snowflake platforms.
How do I create an ETL pipeline in Spark with StreamSets?
Transformer for Spark, StreamSets’ Spark Engine, acts as a Spark client that launches distributed Spark applications. Transformer passes the pipeline definitions and Spark runs it just as it would any other application, distributing the processing across nodes in the cluster. You can find more information on how to get started in the StreamSets documentation for Transformer.
Can I still run Python code on Spark with StreamSets?
Yes. StreamSets Transformer runs on any Apache Spark environment (Databricks, AWS EMR, Google Cloud Dataproc, and Yarn) on premises and across clouds. StreamSets Transformer for Spark is a data pipeline engine designed for any developer or data engineer to build and manage ETL and ML pipelines that execute on Spark.
How do I install StreamSets Transformer for Spark?
