Big Data IntegrationImprove the performance and productivity of your big data projects:
New dynamic distribution support—instantly add Hadoop distribution updates without upgrading Talend (initial support for Cloudera CDH)
Run Spark jobs in YARN cluster mode, removing the need for a job server on an edge node at runtime, simplifying and speeding up your deployment with no single point of failure
Dramatically increase your ability to extract data from SAP, at the application, database, and data warehouse level. New SAP bulk-extraction capabilities allow you to extract nearly unlimited amounts of data from SAP. Easily extract new or changed pre-packaged SAP data using the business content extractor with delta mode (Technical Preview). ELT push-down support for SAP enables processing natively within SAP, before moving data to the cloud
Snowflake component support is enhanced so you can do ELT push-down, where data processing and transformations are done on Snowflake clusters, leveraging the massive performance and scalability of Snowflake for faster analytics
Ingest into and query Cloudera Kudu, a Hadoop columnar storage manager used for rapid analytics on fast data scenarios like IoT, GDPR, and fraud detection. Advanced tuning options provide optimal performance
MapR-DB OJAI support, so you can perform advanced hierarchical transformations graphically and query MapR-DB OJAI from your job, delivering faster performance and greater flexibility for web, mobile, social, and IoT-based applications
Simplify AWS S3 security implementation by using IAM roles and secure token service for your job
Run your Talend workloads on Cloudera Altus on Azure (in addition to AWS today)
Process more data faster with Spark and Spark Streaming support for Microsoft Azure Data Lake Store
Track application IDs in Hive Query to better manage your Talend / Hive jobs
Get and set rowkeys in HBase, so you can leverage HBase best practices and work with time-series data
Data Integration
Improve your productivity and project security:
Job server security and productivity improvements including:
Role-based security: A Studio developer can only execute jobs belonging to a project which they have authorization
Enhanced job server data cleansing actions to ignore active running jobs and any linked dependencies or libraries
Scheduling and error handling improvements to restart tasks on unavailable job servers, and virtual job servers with weighted round-robin load balancing
Talend Administration Center (TAC) improvements including:
Additional Single Sign-on (SSO) options, including support for Ping Identity PingFederate Server, and Microsoft Active Directory Federation Services
Greater visibility of what is happening through auditing and security logging, which traces all user interactions including access, modifications, and configuration changes
A new auditor role for configuring and accessing the audit log, providing a greater level of security
Talend Cloud reduces testing and debugging time from minutes to seconds with a free test engine and the ability to remotely debug big data jobs, and debug jobs on either Talend Cloud Engines or Remote Engines
Continuous integration updates including using Maven standards for incremental builds in Studio, broader Git support including Bitbucket Server 5.x, Nexus 3 support for the Talend Artifact Repository, standard Maven commands for data integration and application integration (technical preview), and the ability to easily extend the build process through Maven Plug-ins and custom Project Object Models (POMs)
Increase productivity by building custom Talend components. Develop once with the Talend Component Kit, then reuse across all Talend products and integration styles, batch to real-time, data integration to big data, on-premises to cloud
Save time by automatically matching similarly named columns with Smart tMap Fuzzy Auto-mapping, which uses data quality algorithms (Levenshtein, Jaccard) to do fuzzy matching
Increased flexibility and productivity in job design with the ability to change table names at runtime through ELTMap, and new routines to adapt to changing schemas
Data Quality
Increase the integrity of cloud and on-premises data as it flows through the business:
Improved survivorship rules with per column support so you have finer control of the master value you want to keep
New component tPatternMasking to define new types of masking patterns for privacy and security control
Import and export semantic types from the Dictionary Service UI, making it easier to manage the promotion of semantic types across environments
Talend Dictionary Service REST APIs are now publicly available and self-documented via Swagger. You can leverage Talend Dictionary Service in data/application integration scenarios and populate the Talend Dictionary Service programmatically
The Dictionary Service UI has been translated to French
Data Preparation
Deliver the best data preparation user experience at extreme scale:
With the Cloud Dictionary Service, you can define new business terms for your data to facilitate data understanding and usage by both people and machines
Expanded connectivity options with Redshift and Snowflake self-service connectors
Dynamic preparation selection in a Talend job, to improve maintenance and productivity
Improved flexibility with new data preparation functions: Basic deduplication, Standardization via data dictionaries, Fill from above, Generate a sequence, Percentages management
Support for custom enclosure and escape characters for CSV files makes it possible to handle non-standard or complex CSV files without the need to standardize the file outside Talend Data Preparation
UI now supports both French and Japanese
Data Stewardship
Quickly identify, manage, and resolve any data integrity issue:
Empower those who know the data best with Talend Cloud Data Stewardship, a team-based, self-service data curation and validation app where you quickly identify, manage, and resolve any data integrity issue
With the Cloud Dictionary Service, you can define new business terms for your data to facilitate data understanding and usage by others, both people and machines
Users can now import and export campaigns and data models directly from the Talend Data Stewardship UI. This makes it easier to comply with IT policies by managing the promotion of configuration across different environments (downloadable software only)
UI now supports French and Japanese
MDM
Design, ingest, author, curate, and update your master data faster:
License and identity management via Talend Administration Center for improved security
Single sign-on with Data Preparation and Data Stewardship saves time
REST API improvement (“IN” operator)
Survivorship rules per column in MDM integrated matching
Audit all user actions, including login/logout and configuration deployment, for security compliance
Talend Data Mapper
Increase the performance of your complex mappings:
tHMapRecord, in addition to receiving, can send complex hierarchical structures to queue outputs such as Kafka (tKafkaOutput), and Kinesis (tKinesisOutput)
tHMap can create multiple outputs from a single input improving productivity
New transformation and expression language functions including upper-case, lower-case, translate, and contains
Improved conversion between hierarchical data and flat records
