Welcome to Sqoop!
This is the Sqoop (SQL-to-Hadoop) tool. Sqoop allows easy imports and exports of data sets between databases and HDFS.
More Documentation
Sqoop ships with additional documentation: a user guide and a manual page.
Asciidoc sources for both of these are in +src/docs/+. Run +ant docs+ to build the documentation. It will be created in +build/docs/+.
If you got Sqoop in release form, documentation will already be built and available in the +docs/+ directory.
Compiling Sqoop
Compiling Sqoop requires the following tools:
- Apache ant (1.9.7)
- Java JDK 1.8
Additionally, building the documentation requires these tools:
- asciidoc
- make
- python 2.5+
- xmlto
- tar
- gzip
To compile Sqoop, run +ant package+. There will be a fully self-hosted build provided in the +build/sqoop-(version)/+ directory.
You can build just the jar by running +ant jar+.
See the COMPILING.txt document for more information.
This is also an Asciidoc file!
