[jira] Commented: (HADOOP-6115) Sqoop should allow a "where" clause to avoid having to export entire tables

["Kevin Weil (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

Kevin Weil commented on HADOOP-6115:
------------------------------------

I have this working except for in the case of optimized local importing.  Not sure why this is failing ATM because the same command line statement succeeds, but I expect to have a patch by the end of the weekend.

> Sqoop currently only exports at the granularity of a table.  This doesn't work well on systems with large tables, where the overhead of performing a full dump each time is significant.  Allowing the user to specify a where clause is a relatively simple task which will give Sqoop a lot more flexibility.
