--------------------------------------
Summary: Copy the avro schema file to hdfs for AVRO based import
Key: SQOOP-1450
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SQOOP-1450
Project: Sqoop
Issue Type: New Feature
Affects Versions: 1.4.5
Reporter: Pratik Khadloya
Priority: Critical
Currently sqoop imports the avro file directly to hdfs.
The schema of the avro files is very important to have. Currently the only way
to get the schema from the avro file is to follow the steps listed in
http://dev.gbif.org/wiki/display/DEV/Sqoop+to+Hive+using+Avro
Apart from being able to programmatically use the schema,it also enables us to
convert the avro file to Parquet too using the avro2parquet converter.
