There are two ways to import data from sqoop. Table dump (without select statements) Example: sqoop import --connect jdbc:mysql://<host>/<database> --username <name> --password <"*****"> --table <table name> -m 1 --fields-terminated-by <choose any delimiter of your choice>
the -m 1 will give you one input split. If you were to increase that number than you will have to add -split-by <table field> In case you decide to use select statement in your import: Example: sqoop import --connect jdbc:mysql://<host>/<database> --username <name> --password <"*****"> --fields-terminated-by ',' --query "select field1,field2... from <table name> WHERE \$CONDITIONS <conditions> --target-dir <name of directory if you want> --split-by <field1> -m 3 Good luck.
