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.

Sqoop Competitor Technologies
Flume
Flume is a distributed service for collecting, aggregating, and moving large amounts of streaming data from many different sources to a centralized data store. While Sqoop focuses on structured data transfer to and from databases, Flume is primarily used for streaming data.
Kafka
Kafka is a distributed streaming platform. While Sqoop moves data at rest, Kafka is designed for real-time data streams. Kafka Connect can also be used to move data between databases and Kafka topics which is functionality similar to Sqoop.
NiFi
NiFi is a dataflow system for automating the movement of data between systems. It can handle data ingestion and transfer tasks that are similar to those performed by Sqoop, and is better suited for complex dataflows.
Storm/Samza
No summary available
Storm and Samza are distributed real-time computation systems. While Sqoop is used to transfer data at rest, Storm/Samza are used for real-time stream processing, moving data continuously. Therefore, data transfer using the stream processors might replace the need to transfer data using sqoop.

Oozie
Oozie is a workflow scheduler system to manage Apache Hadoop jobs. It can be used to schedule Sqoop jobs for importing and exporting data regularly.
Hive
Hive is a data warehouse system built on top of Hadoop for providing data query and analysis. Sqoop is often used to import data from relational databases into Hive for analysis.
HDFS
HDFS is the distributed file system used by Hadoop. Sqoop often imports data from relational databases into HDFS for storage and processing.
