I'm using hive 0.9.0, hadoop 1.1.1, and sqoop 1.4.2. When I create a saved job to do an incremental import from a MySQL server and import into Hive using "--hive-import", it appears that the data is correctly imported, but that the incremental.last.value of the job is not updated, so re-executing the job just imports the same data.
If I create a job that's identical in all respects, but leave off "--hive-import", it finishes with "INFO tool.ImportTool: Saving incremental import state to the metastore", as I'd expect, and does in fact update the incremental.last.value. Is this behavior a bug? Or does Sqoop just not support incremental imports into Hive? -Mason
