Venkat Ranganathan commented on SQOOP-931:
------------------------------------------
I will be uploading my design shortly. Yes, the intention is to make use of
HCatalog storage abstraction features so that storage formats readily supported
by Hcatalog (like RCFile/ORCFile etc) are available as Sqoop sources and
destinations.
I was not really sure how to categorize it. Yes, we are not looking at a JDBC
provider model for Hcatalog like the connection manager etc, but we need to
support the ability to use HCatalog specific input and output formats and may
also do some schema mapping.
May be I will reclassify it as general for now to avoid confusion
> Integrate HCatalog with Sqoop

> Environment: All 1.x sqoop version
> Reporter: Venkat Ranganathan

>
> Apache HCatalog is a table and storage management service that provides a
> shared schema, data types and table abstraction freeing users from being
> concerned about where or how their data is stored. It provides
> interoperability across Pig, Map Reduce, and Hive.
> A sqoop hcatalog connector will help in supporting storage formats that are
> abstracted by HCatalog.
