If they do that, they must provide a customized input format, instead of through JDBC. Yong

I know QueryGrid (Teradata) and PolyBase (microsoft) use data locality to move data between their MPP and Hadoop. I would guess (have no idea) someone like IBM already is doing that for Spark, maybe a bit off topic!

And if your job fails for whatever reason (eg scheduling ) then you have to pull everything out again. Sqoop and HDFS seems to me the more elegant solution together with spark. These "assumption" on parallelism have to be anyway made with any solution.Of course you can always redo things, but why - what benefit do you expect? A real big data platform has to support anyway many different tools otherwise people doing analytics will be limited.

Sqoop is an ugly tool and it requires you to make some assumptions as a way to gain parallelism. (Not that most of the assumptions are not valid for most of the use cases…) Depending on what you want to do… your data may not be persisted on HDFS. There are use cases where your cluster is used for compute and not storage. I’d say that spending time re-inventing the wheel can be a good thing. It would be a good idea for many to rethink their ingestion process so that they can have a nice ‘data lake’ and not a ‘data sewer’.

In the end you have to store the data anyway on HDFS . You have a lot of development effort for doing something like sqoop. Especially with error handling. You may create a ticket with the Sqoop guys to support Spark as an execution engine and maybe it is less effort to plug it in there.Maybe if your cluster is loaded then you may want to add more machines or improve the existing programs.

Also, I can then use Spark stand alone cluster to ingest, even if my hadoop cluster is heavily loaded. What you guys think?

My use case is query ~40 tables from Oracle (using index and incremental only) and add data to existing Hive tables. Also, it would be good to have an option to create Hive table, driven by job specific configuration. What do you think?
