-----------------------------------
Summary: Provide an option to TRUNCATE tables before exporting
Key: SQOOP-1313
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SQOOP-1313
Project: Sqoop
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 1.4.4
Reporter: Lars Francke
Priority: Minor
It'd be great to have an option to TRUNCATE tables before exporting data to
them.
There were a couple of mailing list posts about this feature already[1].
Sometimes the data has to be replaced completely and having the option of Sqoop
taking care of clearing the data first would be convenient. Currently we need
to run a custom java action first that does the truncating.
