This chapter details the main components that you can find in Big
Data family of the Palette.

Using those components, you can connect, in the unified development environment provided
by Talend Studio, to the modules of the Hadoop distribution you are using
and perform operations natively on the big data clusters.

The Big Data components create connections to various
third-party tools used for transferring, storing or analyzing big data, such as Sqoop,
MongoDB and BigQuery and help you quickly load, extract, transform and process large and
diverse data sets.

Also, if you have any questions, concerns or general comments please take part in our
product forums which can be found at: http://www.talendforge.org/forum/index.php

For the version support information, see the appendix on
supported third-party system/database versions in the Talend
Installation and Upgrade Guide of the Talend solution you are
using.
