-----------------------------------
Summary: Allow target dir to be set to to a different name than
table name for hive import
Key: SQOOP-483
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SQOOP-483
Project: Sqoop
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Cheolsoo Park
Assignee: Cheolsoo Park
Currently, the table name (set by --table) has to be the same as the target dir
(set by --target-dir) for hive import. But it would be nice if the target dir
could be set to a different name than the table name.
For example, we like to be able to run something like:
{code}
sqoop import ... --table "foo" --target-dir "foo1" --hive-import
sqoop import ... --table "foo" --target-dir "foo2" --hive-import
{code}
Now this generates the following call stack:
{code}
12/05/02 17:11:55 INFO hive.HiveImport: FAILED: Error in semantic analysis:
