-------------------------------------
Since yesterday (SQOOP-1390 ) Sqoop supports Parquet directly. So no need for
Avro2Parquet converter.
> Copy the avro schema file to hdfs for AVRO based import

> Priority: Critical
> Labels: newbie

> 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.
