Joshua Stanfield commented on SQOOP-2282:
-----------------------------------------
Warning message should probably say "Please remove the parameter --apend" not
"--apend-mode", to reflect the actual parameter name (might be a good plan to
reference static variable APPEND_ARG instead of hard coding the parameter name)
This is also a breaking change for existing jobs that have had both these
options set. Probably worth noting that users using the sqoop metastore may
need to recompile their jobs.
Can you explain how these two options are not working together currently?
Perhaps it wasn't working as designed, but silently failed? We have 487 jobs
that are running with both of these options set on cdh 5.1.3 sqoop (1.4.4 +
extras) without issues. Testing out a new version of sqoop (cdh 5.4.4 includes
1.4.5 + this patch) immediately breaks all our jobs.
Removing the "--append" option does result in a properly running job, and is
how I'm planning on fixing this. And that requires going into the hsql db and
manually editing every job (setting "hdfs.append.dir" to false). But - was just
wondering what the original problem was.
