             Summary: Support Incremental Semantics in command line tool for Job
                 Key: SQOOP-1796
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SQOOP-1796
             Project: Sqoop
          Issue Type: Sub-task
            Reporter: Veena Basavaraj


WIP ( so do not consider this as a final design)

This task will support the Incremental semantics to provide in the command line tool. In sqoop 1 here is the semantics, using the --incremental and the corresponding fields that specify the column and value. The > is somehow not configurable. This can be easily made configurable using predicates that specify the column/ value and the operator in one shot.

{code}
sqoop import \
--connect jdbc:mysql://mysql.example.com/sqoop \
--username sqoop \
--password sqoop \
--table visits \
--incremental append \
--check-column id \
--last-value 1
{code}

In Sqoop 2: When we create a job, we are asked for  ( wrt to the connectors)

FromJobConfigValues
ToJobConfigValues

Should the incremental be more generically a delta import, so this predicate can me more more generic, such as values in between 'A' and 'B' or values < 20.  Its just going to provide flexibility and avoid having 2 fields, incremental, check-column and value. It can all be encapsulated in one field predicate.
