Hi Marcin,

It is the speed really. The speed in which data is digested into Hive.

Sqoop is two stage as I understand.


   1. Take the data out of RDMSD via JADB and put in on an external HDFS
   file
   2. Read that file and insert into a Hive table

 The issue is the second part. In general I use Hive 2 with Spark 1.3.1
engine to put data into Hive table. I wondered if there was such a
parameter in Sqoop to use Spark engine.

Well I gather this is easier said that done.  I am importing 1 billion rows
table from Oracle

sqoop import --connect "jdbc:oracle:thin:@rhes564:1521:mydb12" --username
scratchpad -P \
        --query "select * from scratchpad.dummy where \
        \$CONDITIONS" \
        --split-by ID \
        --hive-import  --hive-table "oraclehadoop.dummy" --target-dir
"dummy"


Now the fact that in hive-site.xml I have set hive.execution.engine=spark
does not matter. Sqoop seems to internally set  hive.execution.engine=mr
anyway.

May be there should be an option   --hive-execution-engine='mr/tez/spak' etc
in above command?

Cheers,

Mich
