Hi, Currently, I'm executing the following steps(Hadoop 1.1.2, Hive 0.11 and Sqoop-1.4.3.bin__hadoop-1.0.0) :
1. Import data from MySQL to Hive using Sqoop 2. Execute a query in Hive and store its output in a Hive table 3. Export the output to MySQL using Sqoop I was wondering if it would be possible to combine steps 2 & 3 - the output of the Hive query written directly to the MySQL database. I read about the external tables but couldn't find an example where the LOCATION clause points to something like jdbc:myql://localhost:3306/<mysql-schema>/<some-mysql-table-name>. Is it really possible?
