sqoop export upsert from parquet to oracle

[#1]

Hello,

I am trying to export data from a simple parquet table using sqoop to a simple oracle table with 3 columns.  Here is my oracle table: 

create table xref_tst ( retailer_nm varchar2(200), sku_id number, account_nbr int);

ALTER TABLE xref_tst
ADD CONSTRAINT sku_pk PRIMARY KEY (sku_id);

Here is my sqoop export statement.  Now when I run this first one below this it works fine and insert data into my empty oracle table.  But when I add the 2 update lines in the second at the end it won't insert into my empty table.  Does the update mode not work with hcatalog?  What am I missing?

works:

sqoop export \

--connect "jdbc:oracle:thin:@rmohsxd01.oracleoutsourcing.com:30712:db" \

--username user \

--password pass \

--table xref_tst \

--columns retailer_nm,sku_id,account_nbr \

--hcatalog-table "xref_testing " \

--hcatalog-database "sil_db"

doesn't work:

sqoop export \

--connect "jdbc:oracle:thin:@rmohsxd01.oracleoutsourcing.com:30712:db" \

--username user \

--password pass \

--table xref_tst \

--columns retailer_nm,sku_id,account_nbr \

--hcatalog-table "xref_testing " \

--hcatalog-database "sil_db" \

--update-key sku_id \

--update-mode allowinsert

On the surface it looks like your second command should work too, since you've provided the --update-mode allowinsert parameter. Can you execute the second command with additional --verbose option and provide the output here?
