Boglarka Egyed edited comment on SQOOP-3193 at 6/6/17 11:45 AM: ---------------------------------------------------------------- Hi [~jayanthir], The version info doesn't seem to be correct as it refers to Sqoop2, however, the command you have provided is definitely a Sqoop1 as that one is the command line tool (Sqoop2 works differently). Could you please review it? Based on the Sqoop User Guide --hive-overwrite will overwrite your table using a CREATE TABLE statement so I think the --create-hive-table command in your example is unnecessary and causes the already exists error message, please see: https://sqoop.apache.org/docs/1.4.6/SqoopUserGuide.html#_importing_data_into_hive Cheers, Bogi was (Author: boglarkaegyed): Hi [~jayanthir], The version info doesn't seem to be correct as it refers to Sqoop2, however, the command you have provided is definitely a Sqoop1 as that one is the command line tool (Sqoop2 works differently).
