Description

Parquet is a file format that stores data organized by column rather than by record. This JIRA proposes to add Parquet support for Sqoop 1. It will cover the use cases as follows:

• Import data from database as Parquet files into HDFS.
• Import data from database into Hive as Parquet file
• Export Parquet files from HDFS to database.
