Kettle is an acronym for "Kettle ETTL Envirnonment", which means it is designed to help you achieve your ETTL needs: extract, transform, load, and load data.
The name translated into Chinese should be called Kettle. The origin of the name is exactly what the main programmer of the project, MATT, said in a forum: I hope to put all kinds of data into a kettle and then flow out in a specified format.
