In sqoop-action 0.2 elements inside "action" must appear in a specific order (called xs:sequence below): job-tracker, name-node, prepare, job-xml comes here, etc. minOccurs=0 means that an element is optional. minOccurs=1 means that an element is required. Full details here. <xs:sequence> <xs:element name="job-tracker" type="xs:string" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1"/> <xs:element name="name-node" type="xs:string" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1"/> <xs:element name="prepare" type="sqoop:PREPARE" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1"/> <xs:element name="job-xml" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1"/> <xs:element name="configuration" type="sqoop:CONFIGURATION" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1"/> <xs:choice> <xs:element name="command" type="xs:string" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1"/> <xs:element name="arg" type="xs:string" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="unbounded"/> </xs:choice> <xs:element name="file" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/> <xs:element name="archive" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/> </xs:sequence> ...

Just stop HBase and copy the contents of your hbase.rootdir directory (in hdfs version it is /apps/hbase/data, in your case it's somewhere on your file system). That's going to be your backup artifact. Then, as a test try to restore it to another environment and make sure it works by listing and scanning some tables. All HBase metadata are included there, and it should work as-is. ... View more

There is no way to tell Sqoop to import all tables into HBase, becuase you have to use "--hbase-table" which is incompatible with "--import-all-tables". Note that HBase is not a general purpose data-base/storage, it's used to store a relatively small number of tables and provide real-time access to them, so it doesn't make sense to import 100s of tables into HBase. For a reasonably small number of tables you can create a script: for t in t1 t2 t3; do sqoop --connect jdc:mysql://... --table $t --hbase-table $t --hbase-create-table ... done Note that it's a good idea to pre-create HBase tables, for example to set splitting and compression etc, because Sqoop will not do that. Another approach for your project can be to import all your tables into Hive, create a few Hive tables mapped onto HBase, and populate them using your Hive imported tables. ... View more
