Connecting Talend to an MS SQL Server DB with 'applicationIntent=ReadOnly'
Out of the box, Talend uses the open source jTDS driver to connect to MS SQL Server databases. This driver however does not support connecting to an AlwaysOn enabled database. A generic jdbc driver would have to be used as a work-around.
Accessing secured REST web services from a Talend job
Accessing secured web services from a Talend job requires that the jvm authenticate with a trust store file (.jks). Failing to do so results in a java.lang.Exception: nulljavax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed exception. The solution is to configure the Talend job to present a jks file when accessing the service.
Best practice for creating Talend metadata connections to NoSQL DBs and Hadoop
Starting with Talend 5.6.2, it is now possble to create metadata connections for NoSQL databases and Hadoop platforms using the metadata feature in the Studio. Even better, the Studio now allows automatic discovery of these properties using Hadoop properties site-*.xml files.
Enabling Hive High Availability in Talend Studio
Starting with Talend 5.6.1, a patch was released by Talend to update Hive components to be able to connect to Hadoop Clusters configured for HA - High Availability. In HA, instead of configuring the Hive host in the component and a standard port, we now instead specify the Zookeeper quorum that in turn 'discovers' the active Hive Host.
Configuring Talend Hive Components: HiveServer1 vs. HiveServer2, Embedded vs. Standalone?
Talend Hive components have a number of somewhat confusing options that could be tricky to understand when making connections to a Hadoop cluster. Options include selecting between HiveServer1 and HiveServer2, Embedded vs. Standalone modes, and what ports to connect to. We explore the options in this post, pulling in information from the Hive Wiki, Talend Support and other sources.
Introducing Talend 6.0
Talend 6 was released in September 2015 and with it come a number of new and important features and updates, including product name changes.
Talend 5.x and Cassandra CQL 2 & 3
For quite some time, Talend has included a family of components for Apache Cassandra NoSQL database. However, recent versions of Talend 5.x have not yet started generating code to connect to Cassandra that leverages the newer Cassandra Query Language (CQL) version 3. CQL v3 is not backward compatible with CQL v2 and differs from it in numerous ways.
