Leonid Furman updated MAPREDUCE-1341: ------------------------------------- Status: Patch Available (was: Open) Added two command line options to Sqoop: 1. --hive-create-only This option ensures that tables are created in hive without loading data from database to HDFS 2. -- hive-overwrite This option indicates that existing Hive tables will be replaced with new ones. > 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. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
