Calling sqoop with hive import is not working multiple times due to kept
output directory
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: SQOOP-443
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SQOOP-443
Project: Sqoop
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 1.4.0-incubating, 1.4.1-incubating
Reporter: Jarek Jarcec Cecho
Assignee: Jarek Jarcec Cecho
Priority: Minor
Hive is not removing input directory when doing "LOAD DATA" command in all
cases. This input directory is actually sqoop's export directory. Because this
directory is kept, calling same sqoop command twice is failing on exception
"org.apache.hadoop.mapred.FileAlreadyExistsException: Output directory $table
already exists".
This issue might be easily overcome by manual directory removal, however it's
putting unnecessary burden on users. It's also complicating executing saved
jobs as there is additional script execution needed.
