-----------------------------------------
Summary: Provide argument for overriding temporary directory
Key: SQOOP-2880
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SQOOP-2880
Project: Sqoop
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 1.4.6
Reporter: Jarek Jarcec Cecho
Assignee: Jarek Jarcec Cecho
Several types of imports (incremental, hive, ...) might require import into
temporary directory first. We're currently putting the temporary directory into
[{{_sqoop}}|https://github.com/apache/sqoop/blob/trunk/src/java/org/apache/sqoop/util/AppendUtils.java#L42]
and we're allowing user to override it with {{sqoop.test.import.rootDir}}.
However this property is not documented anywhere and I found people confused
about it as it contains the string {{test}} which is really confusing. The most
concerning thing is that as the properties are not persisted in metastore, this
option won't work for stored jobs at all. Hence I would like to propose a first
class argument to handle the temporary directory (e.g. something like
{{--temporary-directory}}).
