Difference between Talend Open Studio for Data Integration and Talend Open Studio for Big Data

I'm confused by the different products that Talend offer.

It seems that Talend Open Studio for Data Integration and Talend Open Studio for Big Data are the same product but just with different components installed by default. Is that right? If I use Talend Open Studio for Data Integration and download the components I need from Talend Exchange (e.g. for Google BigQuery), is it effectively the same product?

Solution

  • Aside from the different connectors they differ on one key point, the code base they generate.

    Talend Open Studio for Data Integration generates Java code while the Talend Open Studio for Big Data can generate map reduce code as well as Java code.

    See here for an example of Talend's Big Data offering showing how to generate map reduce code jobs.
