In my organization we have some applicative information in SqlServer that occasionally I need to join with data I have in the HDFS. When I need to do such a join, I import the data from the SqlServer using sqoop. I wanted to know, if there is a way in which hive will import the data on demand, according to the query, for example, if I am selecting from a table that hive recognizes as a SqlServer table, it will import that table or(update if already exists) from sqlserver, and later will run the select… Thanks, Guy Doulberg
