Sources:

Primary database table
External table on a storage (defined by a Glue table in Glue DDIC)
BW InfoProviders
ABAP code implementing our interface
Local file (stored on the user's computer)
Remote file (stored on a machine where SAP Application Server is running)

Targets:

Primary database table
An external table in a storage
External place in a storage (path for a file)

Between SAP and Hadoop systems. The data movement process is based on extractors which work similar to DTP. The extractors provide various types of data movement:

ABAP to Storage
CSV File to Storage
Local File to HDFS – loads unstructured data from the local station to Hadoop
Storage to SAP table – loads an external table to SAP (DDIC) table
InfoCube to Storage
Remote File to HDFS – loads unstructured data from the remote station to Hadoop
SAP table to Storage – loads SAP (DDIC) table to an external table
