Gwen Shapira commented on SQOOP-324: ------------------------------------ It may be worth waiting for HIVE-6806 (should be in Hive 0.14). It will make implementation much easier. > Allow use of Avro Data Files with Hive import > --------------------------------------------- > > Key: SQOOP-324 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SQOOP-324 > Project: Sqoop > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: hive-integration > Reporter: Tom White > Assignee: Yi Liu > Attachments: SQOOP-324.patch > > > Hive imports are currently text only. With SQOOP-207 and HIVE-895 it will be > possible to use Avro Data Files for storage, which have advantages over plain > text, such as supporting compression and a richer set of datatypes. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
