Ken,
Thanks for the datapoint! So, you're using the Cloudera version then,
since it's prior to 1.4.0, right? Are you using a CDH as well, or an
Apache Hadoop cluster?

Hi folks,
The company I work for (cj.com <http://cj.com>) will shortly be using
sqoop heavily. I'm working on getting it up and running for us. We've
got a bunch of Oracle databases that we're going to connecting to our
shiny new HDFS and HBase clusters. We're not using the Cloudera
distributions, just apache hadoop.
I got 1.4.1-SNAPSHOT to build just fine. The tests all pass.
Questions:
1. Are there any plans for an IRC channel *#sqoop* on freenode?
2. Is this version 1.4.1 known to basically work? Should we use this
for production work, or fall back to Cloudera's 1.3, or the 1.4.0 branch?
The only data point I can provide is that we're using 1.3 with OraOop
for pulling lots of data from Oracle DBs, and it's working well for
many billions of records.
We're importing into HDFS as text files, if that matters.
