Summary: Creates Sqoop Jobs With Validation
Key: SQOOP-2721
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SQOOP-2721
Project: Sqoop
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Wesley Forti
Priority: Minor
Hi guys,
I would like to suggest a feature for sqoop job creation process.
As soon as we create a sqoop job, sqoop validates only if sqoop job syntax is
correct. It does not validate values like DB connection information, if table
exists and stuff like that.
So, what is in my mind is, since we have all information about db connection
and table name, why not validate that during sqoop job creation?
Assuming that there could be a great interval between sqoop job creation and
execution (this is my case), we could get some basic creation mistakes much
sooner. (At least I dont have to wait until first execution)
. The main ideia is to check table names, connectivity issues and everything
that is possible.
We could keep sqoop job behavior as it is, and run this checks when a validate
parameter is present on sqoop job creation comand.
