------------------------------------

             Summary: Sqoop1 (doc import + --incremental lastmodified) does not 
cover the --merge-key option
                 Key: SQOOP-3183
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SQOOP-3183
             Project: Sqoop
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Markus Kemper


Sqoop1 (doc import + --incremental lastmodified) does not cover the --merge-key 
option

===========
https://sqoop.apache.org/docs/1.4.6/SqoopUserGuide.html#_incremental_imports
7.2.10. Incremental Imports
Table 5. Incremental import arguments:

Sqoop supports two types of incremental imports: append and lastmodified. You 
can use the --incremental argument to specify the type of incremental import to 
perform.
--check-column (col)
--incremental (mode)
--last-value (value)

An alternate table update strategy supported by Sqoop is called lastmodified 
mode. You should use this when rows of the source table may be updated, and 
each such update will set the value of a last-modified column to the current 
timestamp. Rows where the check column holds a timestamp more recent than the 
timestamp specified with --last-value are imported.
