----------------------------------------
Summary: Remove input directory prior Sqoop import
Key: SQOOP-883
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SQOOP-883
Project: Sqoop
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 1.4.2
Reporter: Jarek Jarcec Cecho
Priority: Minor
Sqoop will fail if target directory already exists on HDFS. This can for
example happen after previously failed Sqoop import or in cases when users are
re-importing the tables on regular basis.
Right now user is forced to remove the input directory manually prior
re-executing Sqoop. I think that it might be useful to add a new argument that
would nuke the target directory if it exists automatically.
I believe that this feature will be safe to use as it will be turned off by
default. User will have to explicitly specify extra command line argument in
order to remove any data.
