Learn to import data from RDBMS to HDFS using Sqoop, with joins, filters, and ordering. Master Sqoop jobs, direct Hive imports, handling nulls, and data compression.
Configure the data environment by ensuring Cloudera Manager, HDFS, Hive, and Sqoop are green, then create the HR analytics database with manager data, employee data, and general data tables.
Learn how to run Sqoop commands to list databases, connect to a MySQL database via the JDBC connector, and securely pass passwords with a password file stored on HDFS.
Learn to craft a Sqoop import using a password file, connect via JDBC to MySQL HR analytics, import employee data, and manage map-only jobs with mappers and the warehouse directory.
Demonstrates using Sqoop to import rdbms data from MySQL to HDFS via a warehouse directory, with one mapper, importing all tables such as employee, general, and manager data.
Execute Sqoop import all tables with -m 1 to create a single file in HDFS, using scope import with exclude to skip employee data and produce general data and manager data.
Exclude multiple tables in Sqoop by listing them after a comma, so only the manager data table imports from the RDBMS to HDFS.
Explore Sqoop subset imports by selecting specific columns (employee id, name, department, job role, monthly income) with a where clause and a SQL query for precise data in HDFS.
Explore how to use split by and dollar conditions in Sqoop import to transfer data chunks, run an SQL query, and verify five records.
Analyze attrition with a complex join of general and employee data, focusing on number of companies worked, years at the company, and job satisfaction, then import via Sqoop.
Learn to create and run Sqoop jobs within Oozie workflows to import data and analyze promotions this year using years since last promotion equals zero.
Learn how to build a scope job in Sqoop that joins general and employee datasets to analyze a 12 percent salary hike and job satisfaction.
Discover how to import data with Sqoop from MySQL to a Hive table and handle null values, using null non string or null string replacements and a default value.
Learn to import data with Sqoop in Avro and sequence file formats, and apply compression to optimize HDFS storage.
