>                 Key: SQOOP-1078
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SQOOP-1078
>             Project: Sqoop
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: connectors, connectors/mysql, connectors/postgresql
>    Affects Versions: 1.3.0, 1.4.2, 1.4.3
>            Reporter: Tim Howe
>            Priority: Minor
>
> A problem exists in Sqoop's incremental import, namely that any imports
> after the first report success but the data never appears.
> A temporary file created on HDFS with the data but is deleted upon
> completion rather than being moved into place.
> It turns out to be a conflict between the "direct mode" database
> managers and "incremental mode" import.  Ordinarily Sqoop ends up
> creating files named part-m-nnnnn where nnnnn is an incrementing file
> partition number.  However the direct mode importer creates files of
> the form data-nnnnn.  This poses a problem because AppendUtils, which
> is used to move files into place at the end of a direct import, only
> copies files which match that part-m-nnnnn format and discards the
> rest.
