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

                 Key: MAPREDUCE-1341
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-1341
             Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: contrib/sqoop
    Affects Versions: 0.22.0
            Reporter: Leonid Furman
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 0.22.0


In case the client only needs to create tables in hive, it would be helpful if Sqoop had an optional parameter:

--hive-create-only

which would omit the time consuming table import step, generate hive create table statements and run them.

If this feature seems useful, I can generate the patch. I have modified the Sqoop code and built it on my development machine, and it seems to be working well.
