Summary: Support for Mysql Sqoop Metastore
Key: SQOOP-2056
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SQOOP-2056
Project: Sqoop
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Karthic Hariharan
We would love to see sqoop metastore supported for Mysql.
At the moment sqoop metastore can be set up only with HSQLdb. Even though you
can fake a mysql database to look like a HSQLdb (refer http://bit.ly/1tz2J5u),
it does not translate to compatibility to all of sqoop's features.
Some of the incompatibilities are:
* Metastore client assumes all connections to the metastore is in serializable
transaction isolation so when sqoop job is executed it never really finishes
because it's trying to run a transaction within a transaction.
* Incremental loads using last modified timestamp doesnt work because the sqoop
job tries to get the current time on the database which is a different sql
command for Hsqldb and mysql.
