Roadmap
The Apache Hop team aims to create a new release every 2 to 3 months.
Here are a few directions that we want to explore for the future of our software:
-  
Authentication and authorization plugins for various security providers
 -  
VFS:
-  
Integration with authentication for the VFS plugins, allow VFS configurations per project (instead of the current global Apache Hop configurations)
 -  
S3 compatible object store support through updated AWS libs
 
 -  
 -  
Integrate with graph databases as a plugin type similar to the existing database plugins
 -  
Creation of a 'hop' command with sub-commands
 -  
Set up a software marketplace where 3rd party plugins can be found
 -  
Finish conversion of all plugins to generic XML serialization to allow for JSON/YAML/… metadata serialization of pipelines and workflows
 -  
Pluggable field expressions in transforms and actions
 -  
Integration with Apache Airflow both in Airflow and as a new Workflow engine plugin
 -  
Infrastructure and project environment validation
 -  
MongoDB: API update to support Atlas
 -  
Improved monitoring and logging, integrations with the leading logging and monitoring platforms
 -  
A new docker/k8s pipeline/workflow engine
 -
