Description

Sqoop is not supporting Importing a oracle table into HBASE with full table replace option, where as the similar option is available in Hive (like hive overwrite option in sqoop), is there a way we can achieve this behavior with out going for "disbale 'table', drop 'table' before every sqoop import for this table.

I do recommend that instead of sqooping full table every time, we can go for last updated column wise sqooping, what is the case if we have any restriction like last updated column is not exists or index on that that field is not exists.

I feel it is better to have an option with over write.
