Apache Griffin
Open source data quality solution for distributed data systems, providing unified process for measuring data quality.
Apache Griffin is an open source data quality solution for distributed data systems. It provides a unified process for measuring data quality from different perspectives, helping organizations ensure data accuracy, completeness, validity, and consistency across their big data ecosystems.
As part of the Apache Software Foundation, Griffin is designed to work seamlessly with other Apache projects like Spark, Hadoop, and Kafka. It's particularly well-suited for organizations already invested in the Apache ecosystem and provides both batch and streaming data quality measurement capabilities.
Griffin was originally developed by eBay and donated to the Apache Software Foundation in 2016. It has since evolved into a comprehensive data quality platform that supports various data quality dimensions and provides flexible rule definition capabilities.
