Sqoop import as OrC file

Question

Is there any option in sqoop to import data from RDMS and store it as ORC file format in HDFS?

Alternatives tried: imported as text format and used a temp table to r

Answer 1

In current version of sqoop available, it is not possible to import data from RDBS to HDFS in ORC format in a single shoot command. This is something known issue in sqoop. Reference link for this issue raised: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SQOOP-2192

I think the only alternative available for now, is the same as you mentioned. I also came across the similar use case, and have used the alternative two step approach.
