Table. 1 Sqoop Tutorial – Available Sqoop commands

Also, by entering sqoop help (tool-name), we can display help for a
specific tool. Like, sqoop help import.

In addition, we can also add the –help argument to any Sqoop


command: sqoop import –help.

a. Using Command Aliases


We can use alias scripts by typing the sqoop (toolname) syntax.
Basically, that specifies the sqoop-(toolname) syntax. Like, the
scripts sqoop-import, sqoop-export and many more. Although, each
select a specific tool.
b. Controlling the Hadoop Installation
To elicit Sqoop we can use the program launch capability provided
by Hadoop. To run the bin/hadoop script shipped with Hadoop, we
can use the sqoop command-line program wrapper. Since there are
multiple installations of Hadoop present on your machine, we can
easily select the Hadoop installation just by setting the
$HADOOP_COMMON_HOME and $HADOOP_MAPRED_HOME
environment variables.
