DESCRIPTION

Apache Sqoop is a tool designed for efficiently transferring bulk data between
Apache Hadoop and structured datastores such as relational databases. It can be
used to import data from external structured datastores into Hadoop Distributed
File System or related systems like Hive and HBase. Conversely, Sqoop can be
used to extract data from Hadoop and export it to external structured datastores
such as relational databases and enterprise data warehouses.
