Sqoop is an open source connectivity framework that facilitates transfer between multiple Relational Database Management Systems (RDBMS) and HDFS. Sqoop uses MapReduce programs to import and export data; the imports and exports are performed in parallel.
Sqoop is an open source connectivity framework that facilitates transfer between multiple Relational Database Management Systems (RDBMS) and HDFS. Sqoop uses MapReduce programs to import and export data; the imports and exports are performed in parallel.
You can use Sqoop to import data from a relational database management system (RDBMS) such as MySQL or Oracle into the Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS), transform the data in Hadoop MapReduce, and then export the data back into an RDBMS.
Available Sqoop commands:
codegen Generate code to interact with database records
create-hive-table Import a table definition into Hive
eval Evaluate a SQL statement and display the results
export Export an HDFS directory to a database table
help List available commands
import Import a table from a database to HDFS
import-all-tables Import tables from a database to HDFS
import-mainframe Import mainframe datasets to HDFS
list-databases List available databases on a server
list-tables List available tables in a database
version Display version information
Sqoop has been a Top-Level Apache project since March of 2012.
