Sqoop incremental.last.value not updated when incremental append to HBase

‎11-21-2014 05:53 PM

Hi,

 

On CentOS 6.5, I am using Sqoop Version 1.4.4-cdh5.1.0 and HBase Version 0.98.1-cdh5.1.0.

 

Here is my Sqoop job of incremental append from Intersystems Cache to HBase.

sudo -u hdfs sqoop job --create JobName \
-- \
import \
--verbose \
-m 1 \
--connect jdbc:Cache://xx.xx.xx.xx:1972/USER \
--driver com.intersys.jdbc.CacheDriver \
--username username \
--password password \
--column-family CFNAME \
--hbase-table TABLENAME \
--hbase-row-key NUM \
--query "select * from TABLENAME where \$CONDITIONS" \
--incremental append \
--check-column NUM \
--last-value 9

 

I execute it as

sudo -u hdfs sqoop job --exec JobName

 

I can see the new data rows appended successfully to the table in HBase. But Sqoop's "incremental.last.value" does not get updated to the new last-value. I tried it several times and found "incremental.last.value" never changed. It is 9 all the time as given during the sqoop job creation. Below is Sqoop output message.

However, when I change the target to HDFS. Sqoop's "incremental.last.value" does update without any problem. Here is Sqoop's incremental job to HDFS.

sudo -u hdfs sqoop job --create jobname \
-- \
import \
--verbose \
-m 1 \
--connect jdbc:Cache://xx.xx.xx.xx:1972/USER \
--driver com.intersys.jdbc.CacheDriver \
--username username \
--password password \
--query "select * from tablename where \$CONDITIONS" \
--target-dir /user/hdfs/tablename \
--incremental append \
--check-column NUM \
--last-value 9

 

 

Below is Sqoop output message when incremental import to HDFS.

Apprently, comparing above two output messages, hsqldb did not invoke when execute incremental importing job to HBase. Such that "incremental.last.value" never got updated.  Is this a bug? Or did I miss anything else?  Thanks.

Re: Sqoop incremental.last.value not updated when incremental append to HBase

‎11-27-2018 09:57 AM

Hi, Im facing this very same problem here. I also replicated this condition, as suggested by dwen, and when I change the destination to a hdfs file it works! 

 

It seems that sqoop (tool.ImportTool) is unable to write the metadata when hbase is involved, so the incremental import state gets lost. That is my suspiction because the only difference reported by the sqoop's mapreduce job  is an error when it finishes reporting that:

 

"ERROR tool.ImportTool: Import failed: Can not create a Path from a null string"

 

Do I need to grant any kind of permission to anyone for this to work?

 

I would appreciate any hint or guess here...

Re: Sqoop incremental.last.value not updated when incremental append to HBase

‎11-28-2018 01:34 PM

Hi, for those who may be facing the same issue, I may have found its solution:

 

It seem that the parameter 

--target-dir /some/dir/on/hdfs

Is compulsory when trying to make those incremental jobs  work with HBase. When I put a

 

--target-dir /tmp/jobname

 It worked fine.

 

I hope it helps!

Re: Sqoop incremental.last.value not updated when incremental append to HBase

‎11-29-2018 12:29 AM

Hi,

 

This is a bug in Sqoop that it doesn't update the last-value when Hbase is involved. Untill there is a permanent fix, you need to add --target-dir in the sqoop command to make it run fine.

 

I guess you can put --target-dir to any HDFS path.

 

Hope this helps.
