---------------------------------
Summary: Support HBase bulk loading as another way to load data
into HBase
Key: SQOOP-685
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SQOOP-685
Project: Sqoop
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: hbase-integration
Affects Versions: 2.0.0
Reporter: Lars George
Fix For: 2.0.0
HBase has a bulk loading feature that can be used by Sqoop to stage files and
then bulk load them into HBase. This is preferable for large amounts of data as
the normal CRUD based API is otherwise quickly overloaded. See the HBase
suppied ImportTsv.java and its used of the "importtsv.bulk.output" command line
option. It shows how to easily switch between direct API import and bulk file
staging.
It might be necessary to add an additional step into Sqoop that allows to
sample the data and presplit the table into the right amount of regions before
the initial loading. This could be done here, or as another issue.
