Sqoop2 Quickstart

NOTE THAT the information mentioned on this page is still in progress and may not be fully implemented yet.

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 structure looks something like

--+ bin --+ sqoop
  | 
  + conf --+ sqoop_bootstrap.properties
  |        |
  |        +- sqoop.properties
  |
  + server --+ bin --+ setenv.sh
  |          |
  |          + webapps --+ sqoop.war
  |
  + sqoop-client.jar
  |
  + sqoop-common.jar

As part of this process, a copy of Tomcat server is also downloaded and put under the server directory in the above structure.

Starting/Stopping Sqoop2 server

To start Sqoop2 server, change to Sqoop2 distribution directory and invoke the sqoop shell script:

cd dist/target/sqoop-2.0.0-SNAPSHOT
bin/sqoop server start

Similarly, to stop Sqoop2 server, do the following:

bin/sqoop server stop
