A cookbook builds upon reader's knowledge on some subject to teach her new recipes. For instance, have you ever seen some TV cook teaching how to break eggs? You just learn it from seeing it and then it's recipe time!Packt new book, Pentaho Data Integration Cookbook 2nd Edition [...]... which they presented me for reviewing), released a couple of weeks ago is the quintessential cookbook: it will not teach you how to install, run or create new transformations and jobs - that is a job for the great PDI Beginner's Guide (also from Packt.) Instead it is going to teach you recipes, little HOW-TOs, on over a hundred subjects.There are recipes about connecting to a database, how to parametrize it (and why do it), how to read data from relational or NoSQL (like MongoDB) databases, how to feed it to a sub-transformation, then handling the streams and its metadata up to finally writing everything to a Hadoop cluster and so on. It does not stop on PDI: There are recipes on how to read and write data to cloud (Amazon and Salesforce), how to run jobs and transformations from inside BI Server (effectivelly turning it into a data integration resource), generate fully formated Pentaho Reports from inside a PDI transformation OR with a transformation as a data source from inside PRD.I've been reading the book for the last two weeks and, frankly, it seems endless: Data analysis, optimization, sampling data for Data Mining, InstaView, AgileBI, read SAS files, treating JSON and XML files, creating new functionalities (requires Java understanding but NO compilation or program building), send e-mail, add extra log messages etc. etc. etc. Besides the sheer recipe number, each recipe comes with some variation on the theme, occasionally a discussion about the pros and cons of the possibile options and alternatives (like Database Lookup vs. Database Join) So, each recipe not only tells you how to do something, but also adds a lot of value explaining how PDI works. When applicable there are comments on performance issues and how to get the best out of PDI (my favorite one is on location 400: how to use a in-memory database to speed up lookups!)You can take a look at the complete recipe list on Packt's site (at [...]...).Every recipe builds on the reader's knowledge but there is enough details so no novice user can run the recipe, without boring the more experienced reader. Figures are sparingly used, only when the authors feel it is going to better explain some setup. It helps to keep the book shorter (a +400-page hulk already) but on the other hand demands more attention on reading.As a lot of Packt books, this one has been written by non-native English speakers which renders the language a bit "unfluid". It does not hinder the reading but makes it unconfortable some times.This book (you can buy it here [...]..) is a treasure chest, with great value to either new or seasoned PDI users. If you already know how to use PDI and want to get better with it, this book is a good reading. If you want to learn how to use PDI, look for Packt's "PDI Begginer’s Guide" and then read this book. It is a must-have!

In 2011, the first edition of “Pentaho Data Integration Cookbook” was published. In that moment in time, the book was interesting enough for a PDI (Pentaho Data Integration) developer as it provided relevant answers for many of the common tasks that have to be carried out for data warehousing processes.After two years, the data market has greatly evolved. Among other trends, Big Data is a major trend and nowadays PDI included numerous new features to connect and use Hadoop and NoSQL databases.The idea behind the second version is to include some of the brand new tasks required to tame Big Data using PDI and update the content of the previous edition. Alex Meadows, from Red Hat, has joined the previous authors (María Carina Roldan and Adrián Sergio Pulvirenti) in this second version. Maria is author of four books about Pentaho Data Integration.What is Pentaho Data Integration?I’m sure that many of you already know it. For those who doesn’t. PDI is an open source swiss army knife of tools to extract, move, transform and load data.What is this book?To put it simply. It includes practical handy recipes for many of the everyday situations for a PDI developer. All recipes follow the same schema:State the problemCreate a transformation or job to solve the problemExplain in detail and provide potential pitfallsWhat is new?One thing that a potential reader can question himself is: If I already have the previous one, is it worth to read this additional version? If you are a Pentaho Data Integration developer, the easy answer is yes. Mainly, because the book includes new chapters and sections for Big Data and Business Analytics, technologies that are becoming crucial core corporate capabilities in the information age.So, in my humble opinion, the most interesting chapters are:Chapter 3: where the reader will have the chance to learn how to load / get data into Hadoop, hbase and MongoDB.Chapter 12: where the reader will be given the opportunity to read data from a SAS data file, to create statistics from a data stream and to build a random data sample for Weka.What I’m missing or could be improved?More screenshots, some readers probably could think the same. Being honest, while I’m happy about the chapter 3 and 12, it will be interesting to have more content related to these topics. So, let’s put it this way. I am counting down the days for the following edition.In summary, an interesting book for PDI and data warehousing practitioners that give some information about how to use PDI for Big Data and Analytics.
