---------------------------------
Summary: Fix Hive Import handling for Parquet data files
Key: SQOOP-1779
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SQOOP-1779
Project: Sqoop
Issue Type: Bug
Components: hive-integration
Affects Versions: 1.4.5
Reporter: Josh Wills
Attachments: SQOOP-parq-hive.patch
When importing Parquet-formatted data files into Hive, Sqoop leaves the
creation of the tables in the metastore to Kite. Unfortunately, the format of
the Kite dataset URI for Hive doesn't include the value of the --hive-database
option and it only knows how to set the table name from the --hive-table-name
option, instead of just using the name of the table being imported.
As an additional note, running the Parquet importer when HIVE_HOME isn't set
causes the import job to fail in a way that isn't very helpful in diagnosing
the underlying issue (i.e., that Kite can't find the Hive jars on the
classpath.) It would be worthwhile to add better logging to that effect,
although I'm not sure if that should be done in Kite or in Sqoop.
