For context: the Formula transform in Apache Hop uses Apache POI (the library behind the Excel-like formulas in Apache OpenOffice). The Formula step in PDI/Kettle used the LibFormula library, which is not only discontinued (like all of Pentaho Reporting), but also used the LGPL license, which is incompatible with Apache's APL 2.0 license. As such, the Formula transform in Apache Hop is not a migration but a rewrite of the PDI Formula step. The formulas in Hop are largely (but not 100%) compatible with their PDI equivalents. The "not 100%" means some rework may be required. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
