[jira] [Commented] (SQOOP-999) Support bulk load from HDFS to PostgreSQL using COPY ... FROM

["Masatake Iwasaki (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SQOOP-999?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13686269#comment-13686269 ] 

Masatake Iwasaki commented on SQOOP-999:
----------------------------------------

It is preferable to use not psql (outer process) but Copy API of PostgreSQL JDBC Driver in order to reduce external dependency. I am going to consider its feasibility.

> Sqoop currently supports bulk export from PostgreSQL but not bulk import. PostgreSQL support COPY <table> FROM <filename> syntax and readily accepts CSV data. We should support this so there is --direct support in both directions.

> A note from myself:
> the pg_bulkupload feature is already implemented:
> https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SQOOP-390
> pg_builupload is a third-party tool, I guess supporting COPY would be a better case.
