Building from sources
Checkout sources:
$ svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/sqoop/branches/sqoop2
Then, change to Sqoop2 directory and build them:
$ cd sqoop2 $ mvn install
Creating distribution
Now build and package Sqoop2 as distribution:
$ mvn package -Pdist
This process will create a directory and a tarball under dist/target directory. The directory (named sqoop-2.0.0-SNAPSHOT as of this writing) contains necessary binaries to run Sqoop2 and its layout looks something like
--+ bin --+ sqoop | + conf --+ sqoop_bootstrap.properties | | | +- sqoop.properties | + server --+ bin --+ setenv.sh | | | + webapps --+ sqoop.war | + sqoop-client.jar | + sqoop-common.jar
