You can use +Sqoop to import data from external structured datastores into Hadoop Distributed +File System or related systems like Hive and HBase. Conversely, Sqoop can be used +to extract data from Hadoop and export it to external structured datastores such +as relational databases and enterprise data warehouses. -Welcome to Sqoop! +== Documentation -This document outlines how to build the source code. +Sqoop ships with documentation, please check module "docs" for additional materials. -TODO: add details +More documentation is available online on Sqoop home page: + +http://sqoop.apache.org/ + +== Compiling Sqoop + +Sqoop uses the Maven build system, and it can be compiled and built running the +following commands: + + mvn compile # Compile project + mvn package # Build source artifact + mvn package -Pbinary # Build binary artifact + +Sqoop currently supports multiple Hadoop distributions. In order to compile Sqoop +against a specific Hadoop version, please specify the hadoop.profile property in +Maven commands. For example: + + mvn package -Pbinary -Dhadoop.profile=100 + +Please refer to the Sqoop documentation for a full list of supported Hadoop +distributions and values of the hadoop.profile property.
