Apache Beam Upgrade and doc updates
The Apache Beam dependency in Apache Hop 2.6.0 has been upgraded to 2.50.0, with support for Apache Spark 3.4, Apache Flink 1.16 and Google Cloud Dataflow.
The Running the Beam samples docs section now also contains a guide to run the Apache Hop samples on Google Cloud Dataflow.
New Google Transforms
Google Analytics 4
Since Google switched Google Universal Analytics off on July 1st, all Google Analytics traffic now flows through GA4 properties.
This new Google Analytics 4 Input transform collects data from Google Analytics dimensions and metrics into your pipelines.
Google Sheets Input and Output
The Google Sheets Input and Google Sheets Output transforms have been available in the external plugins repository for a couple of years.
Originally contributed by Jeff Monteil, these plugins have now been integrated in the main Apache Hop code base, and have been updated to work with the latest Apache Hop api and the latest Google Sheets and Google Drive apis.
