Sqoop should have an option to create hive tables and skip the table import step
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MAPREDUCE-1341
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-1341
Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: contrib/sqoop
Affects Versions: 0.22.0
Reporter: Leonid Furman
Priority: Minor
Fix For: 0.22.0
In case the client only needs to create tables in hive, it would be helpful if
Sqoop had an optional parameter:
--hive-create-only
which would omit the time consuming table import step, generate hive create
table statements and run them.
If this feature seems useful, I can generate the patch. I have modified the
Sqoop code and built it on my development machine, and it seems to be working
well.
