Muhammad Ehsan ul Haque updated SQOOP-2647: ------------------------------------------- Attachment: SQOOP-2647.1 > Add option for drop-if-exists when using sqoop hcat import. > ----------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: SQOOP-2647 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SQOOP-2647 > Project: Sqoop > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: hive-integration > Affects Versions: 1.4.6 > Reporter: Muhammad Ehsan ul Haque > Assignee: Muhammad Ehsan ul Haque > Priority: Minor > Labels: hcatalog, trivial > Fix For: 1.4.7 > > Attachments: SQOOP-2647.1 > > > To recover from a failed sqoop import via hcat using --create-hcatalog-table, > there is a manual step needed to clean up the hive table i.e. (DROP TABLE IF > EXISTS <table_name>). It would be great to have another flag > --drop-and-create-hcatalog-table, which works like --create-hcatalog-table > with an addition of drop if exists before creating the table. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
