SQOOP-2880: Provide argument for overriding temporary directory
(Attila Szabo via Jarek Jarcec Cecho)
> 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: Attila Szabo
> Fix For: 1.4.7
>
> Attachments: SQOOP-2880.patch, SQOOP-2880_review_1.patch
>
>
> 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}}).
