Evaluation of Transformation Tools in the Context of NoSQL Databases.

With the upcoming term of big data and enhancements in cloud technology a new kind of database arose - NoSQL databases. Concomitant with these new databases load processes changed from Extract-Transform-Load (ETL) to Extract-Load-Transform (ELT). Therefore new transformation tools are needed supporting the requirements of a transformation tool and NoSQL databases. Until now there are no evaluations available which give a review about the existing transformations tools as well as an analysis of them. In this context not only relevant work is presented but also the most popular NoSQL databases and the requirements of transformation tools. Furthermore the most known transformation tools fitting the requirements are introduced and evaluated. This work is not only a market overview for a new kind of transformation tools but also a decision guidance for choosing the right tool.
