This is the Sqoop (SQL-to-Hadoop) tool. Sqoop allows easy imports and exports of data sets between databases and HDFS.
Sqoop ships with additional documentation: a user guide and a manual page.
Asciidoc sources for both of these are in src/docs/. Run ant docs to build the documentation. It will be created in build/docs/.
If you got Sqoop in release form, documentation will already be built and available in the docs/ directory.
Compiling Sqoop requires the following tools:
-
Apache ant (1.9.7)
-
Java JDK 1.8
Additionally, building the documentation requires these tools:
-
asciidoc
-
make
-
python 2.5+
-
xmlto
-
tar
-
gzip
To compile Sqoop, run ant package. There will be a fully self-hosted build provided in the build/sqoop-(version)/ directory.
You can build just the jar by running ant jar.
See the COMPILING.txt document for for information.
