[jira] [Commented] (SQOOP-1293) --hive-import causes --target-dir
and --warehouse-dir to not be respected, nor --delete-target-dir
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SQOOP-1293?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13935828#comment-13935828 ]
Venkat Ranganathan commented on SQOOP-1293:
-------------------------------------------
When you do a hive-import, Sqoop internally stages the data and then uses the Hive LOAD statement which moves the data to the hive warehouse. The difference between warehouse-dir and target-dir determine whether the data lands directly on to the defined directory (--target-dir) or the directory is treated as a parent dir for the subdirectory where data lands.
After the HDFS move done by the Hive LOAD statement execution, the directory will be empty.
If you don't use --hive-import, then you will see the data still in tact there (but then you have to use someother mechanism to get the data loaded)
I would suggest using hcatalog support to move data into/out of Hive. That is somewhat easier to handle, has less of data fidelity issues and makes your code storage type agnostic

> Hi,
> I'm importing a table from SQL Server 2012 and am using --hive-import to create the metadata automatically, but am finding that it causes --target-dir and --warehouse-dir to not be respected, nor --delete-target-dir.
> sqoop import --connect "jdbc:sqlserver://x.x.x.x:1533;database=MyDatabase" --username omitted --password omitted --driver com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver --table "cube.DimCounterParty" --split-by CounterpartyKey --hive-import --target-dir /MyDatabase/CounterParty --delete-target-dir
> (fyi I'm using --driver to work around bug SQOOP-1292)
> So I tried --warehouse-dir in case it needed that instead of --target-dir
> sqoop import --connect "jdbc:sqlserver://x.x.x.x:1533;database=MyDatabase" --username omitted --password omitted --driver com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver --table "cube.DimCounterParty" --split-by CounterpartyKey --hive-import --warehouse-dir /MyDatabase/CounterParty --delete-target-dir
> but in both cases it ingested the data to /apps/hive/warehouse/cube.db/dimcounterparty.
> What's also strange is that it created the directory specified for --warehouse-dir but then didn't appear to place the data in it.
> I wanted to use --delete-target-dir to replace the whole table each time for this test since the source table is only ~650,000 rows and 185MB.
> What I've found is that on top of ingesting in to /apps/hive/warehouse/cube.db/dimcounterparty by disregarding --delete-target-dir it is causing the table volume to grow cumulatively for each run, such that after a few runs the {noformat}select count(*){noformat} on the table now shows 5,546,661 rows instead of 650,000.
> Here is the the hive warehouse directory on HDFS where you can see the accumulation of the data:

> {noformat}
> Is this a bug that it doesn't respect --target-dir or at least --warehouse-dir?
> This highlights another issue that this should be more intuitive and/or {noformat}sqoop import --help{noformat} should make it easier to see what options are (not) compatible, or it should specify in the output at job initiation time where switches will be disregarded, such as it does when using {noformat}--hive-<option>{noformat} without {noformat}--hive-import{noformat}
> In my last place I recall using sqoop create-hive-table to generate the metadata after import and then editing the table location metadata. It would be a lot better if we could fix the behaviour of --hive-import to not require such a multi-step workaround.
