SOmetimes it becomes difficult to comprehend the errors due to which the data pipeline fails. Even after looking on internet doesn't help so may be the error message can be improved which helps users to comprehend and easily resolve it.

1. While using Kettle environment variables the appication doesnt work as intended which can be frustrating. 2. Unless paying for the tool, the implementation is something that one has to figure out by themselves.
