Sqoop Insights

What is Sqoop?

Apache Sqoop is a command-line tool primarily used to transfer data between Apache Hadoop and structured data stores such as relational databases. You can use Sqoop to import data from relational databases into Hadoop for processing with MapReduce, Hive, Pig, or other Hadoop-based technologies. Sqoop can also export data from Hadoop back into relational databases.
