Eric, I gave it a shot to use by just pulling out sqoop from Cloudera and installing it in my Hadoop environment. Though it worked for few queries like listing tables, databases not for importing data. There is dependency on other java files and patches; and recompiling Hadoop with them. So for now I installed CDH and sqoop is working well with initial tests. I will continue testing more this week. I heard from Aaron (Cloudera) that sqoop is part of 0.21 release. Thanks, Shiva
