| = Welcome to Sqoop! |
| |
| This is the Sqoop (SQL-to-Hadoop) tool. Sqoop allows easy imports and |
| exports of data sets between databases and HDFS. |
| |
| |
| == More Documentation |
| |
| Sqoop ships with additional documentation: a user guide and a manual page. |
| |
| Asciidoc sources for both of these are in +src/docs/+. Run +ant docs+ to build |
| the documentation. It will be created in +build/docs/+. |
| |
| If you got Sqoop in release form, documentation will already be built and |
| available in the +docs/+ directory. |
| |
| |
| == Compiling Sqoop |
| |
| Compiling Sqoop requires the following tools: |
| |
| * Apache ant (1.7.1) |
| * Java JDK 1.6 |
| |
| Additionally, building the documentation requires these tools: |
| |
| * asciidoc |
| * make |
| * python 2.5+ |
| * xmlto |
| * tar |
| * gzip |
| |
| To compile Sqoop, run +ant package+. There will be a fully self-hosted build |
| provided in the +build/sqoop-(version)/+ directory. |
| |
| You can build just the jar by running +ant jar+. |
| |
| See the COMPILING.txt document for for information. |
