Hi,
I am trying to create an external hive table (with data) using the sqoop import from the "--hive-import" command. The requirement is to actually create an "External" hive table instead of it being part of hive metastore. I wanted to know if there is a way to accomplish this using the sqoop import. I am assuming the sqoop import will actually create the table internally unless there is a way to express it (as external table with location) as part of sqoop import syntax which I am unable to find. Any help is appreciated. Thanks -Akash
