Sqoop : Teradata to HDFS using PARQUET file format not working

avatar
Expert Contributor

I am trying to execute below command in sqoop

sqoop import --connection-manager org.apache.sqoop.teradata.TeradataConnManager --connect jdbc:teradata://***.***.***.***/DATABASE=***** --username ***** --password **** --table mytable --target-dir /user/aps/test2 --as-parquetfile -m 1

Output :

-rw-r--r-- 3 ****** hdfs 0 2016-09-21 12:25 /user/aps/test2/_SUCCESS

-rw-r--r-- 3 ****** hdfs 18 2016-09-21 12:25 /user/aps/test2/part-m-00000

Above output is not in parquet format. If I use com.teradata.jdbc.TeraDriver , it is working. But I have to use org.apache.sqoop.teradata.TeradataConnManager for connection. Please help.

The reason I think you are not able to import data in Parquet format is because Parquet is not supported by this driver. Please see the following link for supported formats which include Avro and RCfile beside other formats but does not include Parquet (check under section 1.2.1).
