Pentaho Data Integration (Kettle) Big Data features go Open Source

I just read some pretty exciting news: All the Big Data features in Pentaho Data Integration (Kettle) will be made available in the open source version. This means you have now free access to all the Hadoop, Cassandra, HBase, MongoDB steps and job entries, a move which will certainly increase the popularity of this ETL tool even further. The Kettle GUI allows you to easily create transformations and jobs which import, transform, export etc your data.
You can find a very interesting tutorial on how to design a MapReduce job with Kettle here.
