------------------------------------

             Summary: Sqoop1 (doc import + --incremental) does not cover HDFS file formats supported and/or limitations
                 Key: SQOOP-3184
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SQOOP-3184
             Project: Sqoop
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Markus Kemper


Sqoop1 (doc import + --incremental lastmodified) does not cover the --merge-key option

===========
https://sqoop.apache.org/docs/1.4.6/SqoopUserGuide.html#_incremental_imports
7.2.10. Incremental Imports
Table 5. Incremental import arguments:

Sqoop supports two types of incremental imports: append and lastmodified. You can use the --incremental argument to specify the type of incremental import to perform.
--check-column (col)
--incremental (mode)
--last-value (value)

An alternate table update strategy supported by Sqoop is called lastmodified mode. You should use this when rows of the source table may be updated, and each such update will set the value of a last-modified column to the current timestamp. Rows where the check column holds a timestamp more recent than the timestamp specified with --last-value are imported.
