Hi Ken, Quest Data Connector for Oracle and Hadoop 1.4 has been released which allows you to specify hints via the oraoop.import.hint parameter. There is more information in the documentation about the parameter - but this should solve your issue.
You can download it here: http://toadforcloud.com/entry.jspa?categoryID=677&externalID=4298 Regards, David From: Peter Hall [mailto:peter.h...@quest.com] Sent: Thursday, 22 September 2011 4:30 PM To: sqoop-user@incubator.apache.org Subject: RE: Transactional isolation issue with OraOop during import Hi Ken, SCN_ASCENDING should help. We are currently developing a patch to allow adding hints to the SQL. No release date for it yet, but should be soon. Once that's out you can try SCN_ASCENDING. In the mean time you could try increasing the size of the rollback segments. David should be able to provide more details when he's available. Cheers, Peter ________________________________ From: Ken Krugler [kkrugler_li...@transpac.com] Sent: Wednesday, 21 September 2011 6:35 To: sqoop-user@incubator.apache.org Subject: Transactional isolation issue with OraOop during import Hi all, and especially Quest devs, We ran into a failing Sqoop issue recently, while importing lots of data from an Oracle DB. >From the error below it looks Oracle is using transactional isolation for read >consistency - but in our case, when pulling isolated rows (no inter-row >dependencies) from a single table, that's not necessary, right? Is there any way to disable that? One alternative solution would be to provide the SCN_ASCENDING hint, as per: http://berxblog.blogspot.com/2009/01/avoid-ora-1555-in-long-running-queries.html This apparently causes Oracle to ignore the error and keep going, returning potentially inconsistent data - but for our case, that wouldn't matter. Any comments on this approach? Of course we'd need support from OraOop to be able to (optionally) specify that hint, I assume via oraoop-site.xml.
