Sqoop Import

You can use the Sqoop Import job entry to import data from a relational database into the Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) using Apache Sqoop. You can create, edit, and select a Hadoop cluster configuration to use. Hadoop cluster configurations settings can be reused in transformation steps and job entries that support this feature. This job has two setup modes:

• TheQuick Setup mode provides the minimum options necessary to perform a successful Sqoop import. (Default)

• The Advanced Options mode provides more options to manage your Sqoop import. TheAdvanced Optionsmode also has a command line view which allows you to reuse an existing Sqoop command from the command line.
