import-all-tables : import data from all mysql tables to HDFS

[cloudera@quickstart ~]$ hadoop dfsadmin -safemode leave   // you need to run this if you get error.

[cloudera@quickstart ~]$ sqoop import-all-tables --connect jdbc:mysql://192.168.13.135/retail_db --username cloudera --password cloudera

list-databases: list available databases from Mysql

[cloudera@quickstart ~]$ sqoop list-databases --connect jdbc:mysql://192.168.13.135/ --username cloudera --password cloudera

list-tables: list avaialable tables in the database

[cloudera@quickstart ~]$ sqoop list-tables --connect jdbc:mysql://192.168.13.135/retail_db --username cloudera --password cloudera


create-hive-table : import a table definition in to hive

step 1) import mysql table data in to hdfs.
[cloudera@quickstart ~]$ sqoop import --connect jdbc:mysql://192.168.13.135/retail_db --username cloudera --password cloudera --table customers --m 1;

step 2) import mysql table definition in to hive.(create-hive-table)

[cloudera@quickstart ~]$ sqoop create-hive-table --connect jdbc:mysql://192.168.13.135/retail_db --username cloudera --password cloudera --table customers --fields-terminated-by ',' --lines-terminated-by '\n';

step 3) load the data from HDFS to hive table.

hive> load data inpath '/user/cloudera/customers' into table customers;

'hive-import' option for import command  ( used for reduce the above steps)

[cloudera@quickstart ~]$ sqoop import --connect jdbc:mysql://192.168.13.135/retail_db --username cloudera --password cloudera --table customers --m 1 --hive-import;

eval: evaluate SQL statement and display the result

[cloudera@quickstart ~]$ sqoop eval --connect jdbc:mysql://192.168.13.135/retail_db --username cloudera --password cloudera --query "select * from customers limit 10";

export: export the data from HDFS to MySQL

• insert mode
• update update

mysql> create database hr;   // creating new daTabase in MySQL
mysql> use hr;
mysql> create table employees(name varchar(30),email varchar(40));  // creating table

insert mode

[cloudera@quickstart hivedata]$ sqoop export --connect jdbc:mysql://192.168.13.135/hr --username cloudera --password cloudera --table employees --export-dir /user/hive/warehouse/Employees.csv;

update mode

[cloudera@quickstart hivedata]$ sqoop export --connect jdbc:mysql://192.168.13.135/hr --username cloudera --password cloudera --table employees --export-dir /user/hive/warehouse/Employees.csv --update-key name;
